Once upon a time, Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange(a)redhat.com> said:
Or just add some RPM metadata tags to record the upstream SCM type +
URL +
branch / release tag, etc. The user can thus easily find the upstream
full commit logs corresponding to the pacakge.
IMHO that is only good when the Fedora package is nothing but the
upstream code, built with defaults. As soon as Fedora needs to add a
patch and/or systemd unit(s), change options, etc., there should be a
Fedora changelog.
And even when it's a straight build of upstream, some maintainers
include RH Bugzilla numbers in their changelog entries, which is useful
too.
