+gedit snippet generating RPM spec %changelog line

+I have done a little bit of work to make gedit fully working in
+RHEL-7 (appropriate packages with almost all my fixes will be
+most likely available in the next minor release of RHEL-7).
+Generally my feeling is that gedit is a way less powerful (and
+writing Python plugins more complicated) than the similar stuff
+in vim. However, there are some things which are shockingly
+powerful. One of the things which quite surprised me are
+snippets_. They are **a way more** powerful than just simple text
+replacements. With this functionality I can create even something
+so crazy as this snippet generating ``%changelog`` line in the
+RPM spec files.::
+
+    $<
+    import rpm
+    import datetime
+
+    spec = rpm.spec($GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_PATH)
+    date = datetime.date.today().strftime("%a %b %d %Y")
+    headers = spec.packages[0].header
+    version = headers['Version']
+    release = ".".join(headers['Release'].split(".")[:-1])
+    packager = headers['Packager']
+    newheader = "* %s %s - %s-%s\n- " % (date, packager, version, release)
+    return newheader
+    >
+
+To install this snippet, open ``Manage Snippets..`` in the gedit
+application menu and in the ``RPM Spec`` section create a new snippet and copy the code above to the text box on the right side. Give to this snippet some TAB trigger (I have ``chi`` there) or a key shortcut and be done. Then activate this snippet in the top of the ``%changelog`` section.
