From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030807

Description of problem:
The SPEC file for the taroon Update 1 Beta Anaconda RPM has %{date} in
the top ChangeLog instead of the real build date.  It also does not
mention which Bugs in bugzilla were fixed.

I am particularly interested in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105586

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-9.1.1-3.RHEL

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open anaconda.spec
2. View ChangeLog entries
3.
    

Actual Results:  %{date}

Expected Results:  15 Dec 2003

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2003-12-16 16:32:14 EST

Yes, this is the way anaconda's changelog works.  Sorry.  Longer term,
I'd like to move towards doing some things differently, but that will
require significant process changes for me.

%{date} gets expanded out by the definition of date two lines above
the changelog in the specfile.
