pts-subscribe(1)


NAME

   pts-subscribe - time-limited subscription to the PTS

SYNOPSIS

   pts-subscribe [options] package

   pts-unsubscribe [options] package

DESCRIPTION

   pts-subscribe  sends  a subscription request for package to the Package
   Tracking System at pts@qa.debian.org, and cancels the  subscription  30
   days later.

   If  called  as  pts-unsubscribe,  send  an  unsubscription  request for
   package to the Package Tracking System.

   This utility is useful if a developer has made  an  NMU  and  wants  to
   track the package for a limited period of time.

OPTIONS

   --until time, -u time
          When  at(1)  should  cancel  the  subscription.   time  must  be
          specified using at's syntax.  Default is 'now + 30 days'.   This
          option will probably require quoting!

   --forever
          Don't  cancel  the subscription automatically.  This can also be
          specified as --until forever.

   --help, -h
          Display a help message and exit successfully.

   --version
          Display version and copyright information and exit successfully.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

   DEBEMAIL, EMAIL
          If one of these is set (with preference give to DEBEMAIL),  then
          this  will  be used for the subscription address.  If neither is
          set,  then  the  email  will  be  sent   without   a   specified
          subscription address, and the email's From: line will be used to
          determine the sender's address.   This  will  be  determined  by
          mail(1).

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

   The  two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are
   sourced in that order to set  configuration  variables.   Command  line
   options   can   be   used  to  override  configuration  file  settings.
   Environment variable  settings  are  ignored  for  this  purpose.   The
   currently recognised variables are:

   PTS_UNTIL
          Setting this is equivalent to giving a --until option.
