DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS(1)
NAME
dh_installchangelogs - install changelogs into package build
directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_installchangelogs [debhelper options] [-k] [-Xitem] [upstream]
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 a changelog file is specified and is an html file (determined by
file extension), it will be installed as
usr/share/doc/package/changelog.html instead. If the html changelog is
converted to plain text, that variant can be specified as a second
parameter. When no plain text variant is specified, a short
usr/share/doc/package/changelog is generated, pointing readers at the
html changelog file.
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.
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.
Note that directory name of the changelog is also part of the
match.
upstream
Install this file as the upstream changelog.
