NAME¶
dh_installchangelogs - install changelogs into package build directories
SYNOPSIS¶
dh_installchangelogs [
debhelper options] [
-k]
[
-X item] [
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 none is
specified, it looks for files with names that seem likely to be changelogs.
(In compatibility level 7 and above.)
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.
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.
- upstream
- Install this file as the upstream changelog.
