Oups, that got sent to the wrong mailing list :-)

Anyway, this is from PKGBUILD(5):

  changelog
           Specifies a changelog file that is to be included in the package.
           This file should reside in the same directory as the
PKGBUILD, and
           will be copied into the package by makepkg.  It does not need
to be
           included in the source array (e.g.
changelog=$pkgname.changelog).

It works with the 'pacman -Qc' mode.

The concept of a changelog for the packaging itself (i.e. not for the
software
in the package) is very central to Debian.  Not so in Arch it seems, but it
can still be useful to let users know what changes the packaging has gone
through.
