Strange warning about changelog

[stefanhusmann]

When I build my package emacs-ess-git, the output is

emacs-ess-git is out-of-date (15.03.1.223.g7c2813e -> 15.03.1.224.g6a68660). :: Building package Successfully built. :: Checking package with namcap Namcap returned 2 warning(s). See "/home/haawda/paketierung/meine_Pakete/emacs-ess-git_namcap.log" for details. :: Creating changelog from Git commits /usr/bin/aurupbot: line 169: printf: `y': invalid format character :: Pushing new version to AUR

The weird thing is: there is no "y" in line 169 of the aurupbot script.

P.S. this issue is not very important, the script works well. It is just a little annoying.

And it is not always th 'y', but sometimes other letters.

maxima-git is out-of-date (5.37.1.59.g705913b -> 5.37.1.60.g71ccd50). :: Building package Successfully built. :: Checking package with namcap Namcap returned 20 warning(s).

This is an issue when expanding the variable (although there's no "y" in line 169, there's the COMMIT_LOG variable). Could you please replace line 169 with the following line and tell me if it solves the issue?

CHANGELOG=$( printf "\n\nChangelog\n=========\n"; cat <<< "$COMMIT_LOG" ); }

[stefanhusmann]

Yes, the line fixes it. Thanks.

Great! I'll update the repo as soon as I get home. Thanks for the report.
