# dh\_octave\_changelogs(1)

install symlinks to Octave-Forge package documentation

## NAME

dh\_octave\_changelogs - install symlinks to Octave-Forge package documentation

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_octave\_changelogs**

## DESCRIPTION

**dh\_octave\_changelogs** is intended to be run from the top-level source directory of an Octave add-on package.  It installs symlinks for the upstream files *NEWS* and *ChangeLog*.

## SEE ALSO

[**debhelper**(7)](/debhelper/7.md), [**dh**(1)](/dh/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_substvar**(1)](/dh_octave_substvar/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_clean**(1)](/dh_octave_clean/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_check**(1)](/dh_octave_check/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_version**(1)](/dh_octave_version/1.md), [**dh\_octave\_examples**(1)](/dh_octave_examples/1.md)

This program is meant to be used together with debhelper for Debian packages derived from Octave-Forge packages. It is recommended to enable it by adding the dh-sequence-octave virtual package to Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Arch or Build-Depends-Indep. This is equivalent to adding dh-octave to the same field and adding --with=octave to the dh sequencer in debian/rules, except that only -arch/-indep/profiled builds are affected.
