Package: doxygen Version: 1.8.1.2-2 Starting from version 1.8.4, upstream does provide a changelog in the tarball, in doxygen format:
wget ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/doxygen-1.8.3.1.src.tar.gz tar tf doxygen-1.8.3.1.src.tar.gz | grep changelog.doc <no match> wget ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/users/dimitri/doxygen-1.8.4.src.tar.gz tar tf doxygen-1.8.4.src.tar.gz | grep changelog.doc <match> This changelog.doc during the packaging generates the upstream changelog in html format which in accordance with the debian policy (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html) gets installed by the current doxygen-doc packages for jessie and sid into /usr/share/doc/doxygen/html/changelog.html.gz: http://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/doxygen-doc/filelist http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/doxygen-doc/filelist It would seem therefore that the wish of this bug's reporter is fulfilled in jessie onwards. There is one glitch though: the changelog.html is referenced in the table of contents of the doxygen manual (install doxygen-doc 1.8.4 on jessie, then open file:///usr/share/doc/doxygen/html/index.html and look at the end of the list in the left pane) but that link is broken since the browser expects a changelog.html but only a changelog.html.gz is there. Not sure what to do to fix that without violating the policy .. --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae Debian Release: 7.1 500 stable-updates mi.mirror.garr.it 500 stable security.debian.org 500 stable mi.mirror.garr.it --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ============================-+-============== libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~) | 2.13-38 libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) | 1:4.7.2-5 libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) | 4.7.2-5 Recommends (Version) | Installed ============================-+-=========== doxygen-latex | 1.8.1.2-2 Suggests (Version) | Installed ==========================-+-=========== doxygen-doc | 1.8.1.2-2 doxygen-gui | 1.8.1.2-2 graphviz | 2.26.3-14 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
