changelog reference im rpms

[uli42]

I have seen this for nxagent 3.5.0.33 rpms, but it is probably also a problem with arctica rpms.

[uli@centos7 ~]$ rpm -q nxagent 
nxagent-3.5.0.33-0.0x2go1.0.git20170419.759.heuler.el7.centos.x86_64

[uli@centos7 ~]$ rpm -q nxagent --changelog
* Do Jan 29 2015 Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel@das-netzwerkteam.de> 3.5.0.29
- See debian/changelog for details.

But there's no debian/changelog:

[uli@centos7 ~]$ rpm -ql nxagent /etc/nxagent /etc/nxagent/keystrokes.cfg /etc/nxagent/nxagent.keyboard /etc/nxagent/rgb /usr/bin/nxagent /usr/lib64/nx/X11/Xinerama /usr/lib64/nx/X11/Xinerama/libNX_X11.so.6 /usr/lib64/nx/X11/Xinerama/libNX_Xext.so.6 /usr/lib64/nx/X11/Xinerama/libXinerama.so.1 /usr/lib64/nx/bin /usr/lib64/nx/bin/nxagent /usr/share/man/man1/nxagent.1.gz /usr/share/nx/rgb /usr/share/pixmaps/nxagent.xpm

in 3.5.0.x there is debian/changelog as changelog. In the source code
tree of course, not in the installed package.

In 3.6.x we have an upstream ChangeLog in the source tree (see the tarballs).

What would be the best location for putting the upstream ChangeLog
into the bin:package(es)? /usr/share/doc//ChangeLog.gz?

That is not clear for the end user. Why not integrate it properly into the RPM?

Yes, I'd say so. But not necessarily compressed.

However, I would prefer proper RPM integration because that's exactly what --changelog was made for.
