How about `changelog="$pkgdir"/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/NEWS`? changelog could also be made capable of holding a link to where upstream hosts its release notes, especially when they have pretty formatting and further links to issues/PR's/commits/etc, eg. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/69.0/releasenotes/. -- Best, Daniel <https://danielcapella.com>
