See section \*(L"\s-1SEE ALSO\*(R"\s0 for locations where to find the full format definition. .PP The output formats supported are currently: .IP "dpkg" 4 .IX Item "dpkg" Format as known from \fIdpkg\-parsechangelog\fR\|(1). All requested entries (see \*(L"\s-1SYNOPSIS\*(R"\s0 on how to select specific entries) are returned in the usual Debian control format, merged in one stanza, ready to be used in a \fI.changes\fR file. .IP "rfc822" 4 .IX Item "rfc822" Similar to the \f(CW\*(C`dpkg\*(C'\fR format, but the requested entries are returned as one stanza each, i.e. they are not merged. This is probably the format to use if you want a machine-usable representation of the changelog. .IP "xml" 4 .IX Item "xml" Just a simple \s-1XML\s0 dump of the changelog data. Without any schema or \&\s-1DTD\s0 currently, just some made up \s-1XML.\s0 The actual format might still change. Comments and Improvements welcome. .IP "html" 4 .IX Item "html" The changelog is converted to a somewhat nice looking \s-1HTML\s0 file with some nice features as a quick-link bar with direct links to every entry. \&\s-1NOTE:\s0 This is not configurable yet and was specifically designed to be used on . This is planned to be changed until version 1.0. The used Parse::DebianChangelog module already supports configuration, however, this isn't exposed by this program yet. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Parse::DebianChangelog, the underlying Perl module .PP Description of the Debian changelog format in the Debian policy: . .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Frank Lichtenheld, .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" Copyright (C) 2005 by Frank Lichtenheld .PP This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the \s-1GNU\s0 General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. .PP This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but \s-1WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY\s0; without even the implied warranty of \&\s-1MERCHANTABILITY\s0 or \s-1FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. \s0 See the \&\s-1GNU\s0 General Public License for more details. .PP You should have received a copy of the \s-1GNU\s0 General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, \s-1MA 02110\-1301 USA\s0
