description
dh_installchangelogs
is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
changelogs into package build directories.
An upstream
changelog file may be specified as an option.
If there is an
upstream changelog file, it will be be installed as
usr/share/doc/package/changelog in the package build
directory. If the changelog is a html file
(determined by file extension), it will be installed as
usr/share/doc/package/changelog.html instead, and
will be converted to plain text with html2text to
generate usr/share/doc/package/changelog.
options
-k,
--keep
Keep the original name of the
upstream changelog. This will be accomplished by installing
the upstream changelog as changelog, and making a
symlink from that to the original name of the
changelog file. This can be useful if the upstream
changelog has an unusual name, or if other documentation in
the package refers to the changelog file.
-Xitem,
--exclude=item
Exclude upstream
changelog files that contain item anywhere in
their filename from being installed.
upstream
Install this file as the
upstream changelog.
files
debian/changelog
debian/NEWS
debian/package.changelog
debian/package.NEWS
Automatically installed into usr/share/doc/package/ in the
package build directory.
Use the package specific name if package needs a different
NEWS or changelog file.
The changelog file is installed with a name of changelog
for native packages, and changelog.Debian for non-native
packages. The NEWS file is always installed
with a name of NEWS .Debian.
