* Tue Feb 14 2023 Mattia Verga <mattia.verga@proton.me> - 2.0.0-1
- Update to 2.0.0 (fedora#2165858)

Only the first line has been used for the RPM changelog, even if the other lines start with a dash as described in the docs.

It seems that the problem is the whiteline between the continuation of the first entry and the second entry:

... (fedora#2165858)
- Update license tag to SPDX identifiers

In another package I avoided that blank line and I got all the lines in the final RPM changelog. Maybe it's just a documentation issue?

I guess so, the subsequent list items shouldn’t be separated by a blank line. I'll look into clarifying docs, thanks for the report!

Hmm, at least the example used in docs has a blank line there… Let me check what’s up.

Yeah, we screwed up the example there. I'll fix it!
