The kernel changelog gets long fairly quickly. We have almost daily updates to rawhide. Historically we have trimmed it every so often back to a year of history. I was looking for a better way. I propose that we trim the kernel changelog to the branch date for each release in rawhide, and put everything we cut into a "changelog.history" file. This would make the spec contain a changelog for an entire release cycle and nothing more, while the history is still there for anyone who needs it. We also have the git commit logs, but they are not always as detailed as the changelog.
Thoughts?
Makes sense, I think it's a useful cut off point and for those that want ancient history there's always git logs.
