The RPM ships only /usr/bin/netbird, with no Requires, no changelog and no
config or doc files, which fails three subtests of the RHEL 9 software
certification RPM test.

Declare the runtime dependencies, generate the changelog from git tags with
chglog at release time, and ship LICENSE, README.md and an example
/etc/sysconfig/netbird as %license, %doc and %config(noreplace). The unit
generated by "netbird service install" already reads that path via
EnvironmentFile, so post_install.sh is unchanged.

Checklist

  • Is it a bug fix
  • Is a typo/documentation fix
  • Is a feature enhancement
  • It is a refactor
  • Created tests that fail without the change (if possible)
  • I ran and tested this change locally — I did not rely on CI to find out whether it works

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The RPM definition now includes package metadata, changelog input, documentation, licensing, and sysconfig content. The release workflow invokes a script that generates, normalizes, and validates the RPM changelog.

Changes

RPM packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
RPM package definition
.goreleaser.yaml, release_files/netbird.sysconfig
The RPM definition adds metadata, a changelog source, license and documentation files, a sysconfig file, and a ca-certificates dependency.
Release changelog generation
go.mod, release_files/rpm-changelog.sh, .github/workflows/release.yml, .gitignore
The chglog tool and its indirect dependencies are declared in go.mod. The release job invokes the script, which keeps commit subject lines, validates the generated YAML, and rejects empty output. Generated changelog files are ignored.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the RPM changes and includes the required template sections, but it omits the required issue or approved discussion link and does not explain why documentation is not needed. The local testing and single-purpose checklist items are also left unchecked.

Full details: No Attribution Trailers

Explanation

The PR description contains the attribution footer &lt;!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. --&gt;, which identifies a generating tool and matches the prohibited generated-by attribution condition. The six reviewed commit messages have no parsed Git trailers and no prohibited attribution footer; the phrase generated by "netbird service install" is ordinary technical prose, not an attribution.
