Package: debhelper Version: 9.20150101 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
Several projects that are hosted on Github use markdown files (.md) as their README and changelogs. CHANGES.md is used by a few projects, and it would be nice to have this file automatically picked up as an upstream changelog. Trivial patch (against 9.20150101) is included to add this file to dh_installchangelogs -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-jpleau (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.25-5 ii dpkg 1.17.24 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.24 ii file 1:5.22+15-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.24 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-5 ii perl 5.20.1-5 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu3 debhelper recommends no packages.
