Since I've been unable to contact you before, and since you still
create overly huge commit messages like quoted above, this is another
attempt at giving advice:

Those cvs commit messages are stored in CVS, too. They turn the "cvs
log" of your packages into an unreadable mess.

Put _empty lines_ between your %changelog entries. Then in Fedora CVS
you can use "make clog" to store only the latest changelog entry in
the "clog" file. Short and to the point. "cvs commit -F clog" takes
that file as the commit message.

Perhaps you already use "make clog", but due to the missing blank
lines, you defeat the purpose of that Makefile method.
