"Should contain a URL where the location of the upstream changelog can be |
| 11 |
found. The URL must be version independent and must point to a changelog |
| 12 |
which is only updated on new releases of the corresponding package. (This |
| 13 |
also implies that one can link to an automatically updated changelog in |
| 14 |
