NAME

   tagpending - tags bugs that are to be closed in the latest changelog as
   pending

SYNOPSIS

   tagpending [options]

DESCRIPTION

   tagpending parses debian/changelog to determine which bugs would be
   closed if the package were uploaded. Each bug is then marked as
   pending, using bts(1) if it is not already so.

OPTIONS

   -n, --noact
       Check whether any bugs require tagging, but do not actually do so.

   -s, --silent
       Do not output any messages.

   -v, --verbose
       List each bug checked and tagged in turn.

   -f, --force
       Do not query the BTS, but (re)tag all bugs closed in the changelog.

   --comments
       Include the changelog header line and the entries relating to the
       tagged bugs as comments in the generated mail.  This is the
       default.

       Note that when used in combination with --to, the header line
       output will always be that of the most recent version.

   --no-comments
       Do not include changelog entries in the generated mail.

   -c, --confirm
       Tag bugs as both confirmed and pending.

   -t, --to version
       Parse changelogs for all versions strictly greater than version.

       Equivalent to dpkg-parsechangelog's -v option.

   -i, --interactive
       Display the message which would be sent to the BTS and, except when
       --noact was used, prompt for confirmation before sending it.

   -w, --wnpp
       For each bug that does not appear to belong to the current package,
       check whether it is filed against wnpp. If so, tag it. This allows
       e.g.  ITAs and ITPs closed in an upload to be tagged.
