Xpra Package Changelog

Sync Xpra Markdown release notes from docs/CHANGELOG.md into packaging/rpm/xpra.spec and packaging/debian/xpra/changelog.

Xpra Package Changelog

Use this skill to mirror one Xpra release entry from docs/CHANGELOG.md into the RPM spec %changelog and Debian debian/changelog format, while also refreshing the release date or datetime in all affected files.

Workflow

Read the latest or requested release section from docs/CHANGELOG.md.
Update the Markdown release header date in docs/CHANGELOG.md to the current local date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Strip Markdown links by replacing [description](url) with description.
Preserve release-note descriptions and inline punctuation. Do not include commit URLs.
Convert Markdown category bullets to package changelog headings:
- Markdown sub-items use exactly two leading spaces: * description.
- RPM: - Category: and continuation lines indented with three spaces.
- Debian: * Category: and continuation lines indented with four spaces.
Update the release datetime in every packaging file you touch:
- Markdown header uses ISO local date like ## [6.5.1] 2026-06-28.
- RPM header uses local date format like * Sun Jun 28 2026 Antoine Martin <antoine@xpra.org> 6.5.1-10.
- Debian trailer uses RFC 2822 format like -- Antoine Martin <antoine@xpra.org> Sun, 28 Jun 2026 15:44:43 +0700.
Replace only the matching top release block or TODO placeholder. Leave older releases and unrelated worktree changes untouched.
Validate with:
- dpkg-parsechangelog -l packaging/debian/xpra/changelog
- rpmspec --parse packaging/rpm/xpra.spec when available. A missing local source archive warning is acceptable if the command exits 0.
- git diff --check -- docs/CHANGELOG.md packaging/rpm/xpra.spec packaging/debian/xpra/changelog

Helper Script

Use scripts/format_release_notes.py to convert a Markdown release entry into package-ready text:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/xpra-package-changelog/scripts/format_release_notes.py   docs/CHANGELOG.md --version 5.1.6 --format rpm

python3 ~/.codex/skills/xpra-package-changelog/scripts/format_release_notes.py   docs/CHANGELOG.md --version 5.1.6 --format debian

If --version is omitted, the script uses the first release section in docs/CHANGELOG.md.
