Generate an artifact that contains all changelogs of a corresponding artifact.

Use Case

To quickly find out what changes made it into an artifact it would be useful to collect all the changelogs of the artifact and make them available as a separate artifact.

Implementation

For each package Debian makes its changelog available. According to the debian policy the Debian changelog will be placed in

• /usr/share/doc/package/changelog.Debian.gz: If there is an upstream and a Debian changelog.
• /usr/share/doc/package/changelog.gz: If there is only one changelog.

The idea is to collect them and make them available as a tar archive separate from the "main" artifact.

[lueschem]

Collect all changelogs:

cd /usr/share/doc
sudo find * -name "changelog.gz" -o -name "changelog.Debian.gz" -exec tar -rf /home/lueschem/changelog.tar {} +
