# `no-changelog`

A Debian package that provides a `/usr/share/doc/pkg` directory must install a changelog file.

For native packages the best name is `/usr/share/doc/pkg/changelog.gz`.

For non-native packages the best name is `/usr/share/doc/pkg/changelog.Debian.gz`.

This tag may also be emitted when the changelog exists but does not otherwise resemble a Debian changelog.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
Renamed from: | `changelog-file-missing-in-native-package, debian-changelog-file-missing`
