Description Jens Petersen 2013-03-27 03:45:56 UTC
Description of problem:
I have selinux-policy-3.12.1-23.fc19 installed currently.
Now I see there is a new selinux-policy-3.12.1-24.fc19 build
with a "rebased" changelog.  I don't think it is good
idea to rewrite the changlog history of a package that has
already been pushed to a branched release.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.12.1-24.fc19

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compare changelog at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=406714 
2. with http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=404372
  
Actual results:
1.
-----------------
* Tue Mar 26 2013 Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl> 3.12.1-24
- Bump version

* Tue Mar 26 2013 Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl> 3.12.1-23
- Allow abrt to manage mock build environments to catch build problems.
- Allow virt_domains to setsched for running gdb on itself
:
:
-----------------

2.
-----------------
* Wed Mar 20 2013 Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl> 3.12.1-23
- Allow localectl to read /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory
:
:
-----------------

Note particularly the change of date for 3.12.1-23!

Expected results:
1. 3.12.1-24.fc19 should maintain the changelog entry of 3.12.1-23.fc19
   and list new changes under 3.12.1-24

If F19 selinux-policy is now branched from F20 then it would be better
to use -22.1.fc19 etc for F19 or to bump the rawhide version, etc
to make it clear that they are different.

Additional info:
F19 selinux-policy release is also ahead now of F20 which is not desirable I guess.

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2013-03-27 12:03:52 UTC
You are right, It is a problem caused by 3879ab65d5fc4b9b92fb43c3bbb0c6969d5be161 commit.

Basically we have the same F19 and F20 in this phase. Basically builds are going to together, so rawhide build is coming today.

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2013-03-27 12:09:24 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.12.1-25.fc19

Yes, the build is coming today.
