18 dh_installchangelogs is a debhelper program that is responsible for
19 installing changelogs into package build directories.
21 dh_installchangelogs determines if the package is a debian native package,
22 and if so, it installs debian/changelog into usr/share/doc/package/changelog
23 in the package build directory. Otherwise, it installs debian/changelog
24 into usr/share/doc/package/changelog.Debian in the package build directory. (If
25 files named debian/package.changelog exist, they will be used in preference
28 If an upstream changelog file is specified as an option, and the package is
29 not a native debian package, then this upstream changelog will be installed
30 as usr/share/doc/package/changelog in the package build directory. If the
31 changelog is a html file (determined by file extension), it will be
32 installed as usr/share/doc/package/changelog.html instead, and will be
33 converted to plain text with lynx to generate
34 usr/share/doc/package/changelog.
40 =item B<-k>, B<--keep>
42 Keep the original name of the upstream changelog. This will be accomplished
43 by installing the upstream changelog as "changelog", and making a symlink from
44 that to the original name of the changelog file. This can be useful if the
45 upstream changelog has an unusual name, or if other documentation in the
46 package refers to the changelog file.
50 Install this file as the upstream changelog.
