So, I am a bit leary of this change for the same reason that I was for the last few changes like this. Namely, we are building out own layer on top of rpm to make our lives easier, when we probibly should try and just improve rpm to do this for everyone. I realize that rpm is slow to move and this might not be practical, but I sure wish we would try. As a strawman, what about this that upstream might take: * keep the same macros you propose (don't care what colour the bikeshed is) * src.rpms grow a (optional) releases (or whatever) dir. * under this (optional) dir we have a subdir for each version. * under that (optional) dir we have a subdir for each release. * under that (optional) dir we have files for changelogs.
Just FTR, when I was proposing some macros to include Changelog into RPM, I was told that one of benefits of RPM and spec file is that it is all together in one file:

If you look at the problem from this angle, then I can't see how this would be acceptable to RPM upstream :/

So, the last few ansible builds would have: ansible-2.9.17-1.fc34: ansible/releases/2.9.17/1/update-to-2.9.17 ansible/releases/2.9.16/2/conflict-with-ansible-base ansible/releases/2.9.16/2/Adjust-collections-generator ansible/releases/2.9.16/1/update-to-2.9.16 ... When building, rpm would sort the releases dir, then the version subdir, then concat the changelog fragments into a changelog. This way everything is in the src.rpm. When doing a PR, you would make a new version subdir and put a changelog fragment in it and commit it with any of your other changes. Probibly some problems with that, but I thought I would throw it out there from my sleep deprived mind. :) Anyhow, I just am a bit leary of us building up more and more around rpm, and not just fixing rpm. kevin
