Yes, and I think this should be strongly discouraged. For starters, spec
files and patches are a poor substitute for revision control. It also makes
it significantly more painful for other people to reuse the work (c.f. the
Ubuntu developer's request).
If we have situations like this - put up a project on
hosted.fedoraproject.org. Or
code.google.com. Or sourceforge.
Done and done. I moved mine, but some haven't moved and probably won't for a
while. Even when they do move, the project will need to change how it handles recording
changes going forward.
I'm just saying that having a script mow down changelog entries is a bad idea. It
should be in the hands of the package maintainer.
