Hi @jstancek - because the kernel-automotive package is built separately, but from the same branch, it shares the stock kernel's changelog and we can copy the existing changelog instead of maintaining a separate one. Building kernel- automotive only requires the `dist-git` step, not `dist-release`, so a dedicated changelog file wouldn't be created or needed since the content is the same. If we were to leave it as it was it would fail when `SPECPACKAGE_NAME` is set to kernel-automotive since that file wouldn't exist. When I was putting this together I didn't foresee another separate and branched kernel package (since no one has enjoyed the current branched approach and we've been asked that we merge them together). If there's a need to be able to rename the stock kernel package name as well (and maybe there is) then I could introduce a `STOCK_SPECPACKAGE_NAME` and use it here instead of defining it as `kernel.changelog-*`. I certainly cannot rule out the possibility that we'll have another branched kernel in the future so maybe I should keep it flexible. -- _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
