Can we please make the kernel RPM not have 2000 lines of changelog
every time there's a version bump?
It doesn't make sense to include the entire git commit log (at least
this is what it looks like) that happened since the last version bump
... this is completely useless.
This even bumps up against bodhi's new limit on generated update
notes, and it shows as "[CHANGELOG OMITTED BECAUSE TOO LONG]":
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-485d22288b
It is a known issue, and I have to go and manually trim the changelog in
the repository every time we have a .0 release, but it is pretty low
priority when weighed against all of the other kernel queue, as this
happens once every 9-10 weeks. The actual changelog is still the same
size it always would have been, slightly smaller actually since all
previous entries are under a single header. Just the diff for one
release is much larger.
I do understand the frustration. I would be glad to accept patches to
stop it from happening in the future. Otherwise, it is on my list, just
below a lot of other things.
