This was already answered to some extent, but since it seems to a common misconception, I'll reply here again: %autochangelog is designed to keep the separation between git log and %changelog. Generally, only some git log entries end up with a matching entry in the autogenerated %changelog, see https://docs.pagure.org/fedora-infra.rpmautospec/autochangelog.html#skipping-changelog-entries. > I use a script to generate rpm changelog > entries from git log as a separate commit with the release bump, but > occasionally I need to edit the text. That still works. Just put the whatever text in 'changelog' file, and %autochangelog will use that. (The way it works is that it processes git log from the top, generating %changelog entries, until it hits a commit which touches 'changelog' file, at which points it uses the contensts of that file as the rest of the %changelog. This mechanism is also used when one needs to "edit" the autogenerated changelog.)
