Description Anssi Hannula 2011-12-08 00:56:32 CET
Markreleases are not done for stable releases, causing the log messages for the releases to be merged under a single release in the rpm changelog.

e.g. if there are foo-1-1.1.mga1, foo-1-1.2.mga1, foo-1-1.3.mga1 in the updates repository, one gets

* Tue Oct 04 2011 foobar 11-1.3.mga1
- log messages of 1.1
- log messages of 1.2
- log messages of 1.3

  + baz <baz>
    - some other packager's log message for 1.2

  + foobaz <foobaz>
    - some third packager's log message for 1.3

etc.

Either the youri markrelease action should run markrelease in the originating tree
instead of cauldron, or add making markrelease to the final update move (from
_testing to updates) script.
The former approach would probably be better.

Still valid today.

Hi,
This is High priority bug for a good reason.

Making Mageia even better than ever is best direction.
In order to do right thing, this bug should be examined and fixed as soon as possible.

Packagers, please make the status to Assigned when you are working on this.
Feel free to reassign the bug if bad-triaged. Also, if bug is old, please close it.

On October 1st 2020, we will drop priority to normal.
