NAME

   who-uploads - identify the uploaders of Debian source packages

SYNOPSIS

   who-uploads [options] source_package ...

DESCRIPTION

   who-uploads  uses  the  Package  Tracking  System (PTS) to identify the
   uploaders of the  three  most  recent  versions  of  the  given  source
   packages.  Note that the uploaders are identified using their gpg(1) or
   gpg2(1) keys; installing a recent version of the debian-keyring package
   should provide most of the required keys.

   Note  that  because  the  PTS  uses  source packages, you must give the
   source package names, not the binary package names.

OPTIONS

   -M, --max-uploads=N
          Specify the maximum  number  of  uploads  to  display  for  each
          package;  the default is 3.  Note that you may not see this many
          uploads if there are not this many recorded in the PTS.

   --keyring keyring
          Add keyring to the list of  keyrings  to  be  searched  for  the
          uploader's GPG key.

   --no-default-keyrings
          By   default,   who-uploads   uses   the   two  Debian  keyrings
          /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg                       and
          /usr/share/keyrings/debian-maintainers.gpg     (although    this
          default can be changed in the configuration  file,  see  below).
          Specifying  this option means that the default keyrings will not
          be examined.  The --keyring option overrides this one.

   --date Show the date of the upload alongside the uploader's details

   --nodate, --no-date
          Do not show the date of  the  upload  alongside  the  uploader's
          details.  This is the default behaviour.

   --no-conf, --noconf
          Do  not  read any configuration files.  This can only be used as
          the first option given on the command-line.

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

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

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:

   WHOUPLOADS_DATE
          Show the date of the upload alongside  the  uploader's  details.
          By default, this is "no".

   WHOUPLOADS_MAXUPLOADS
          The  maximum  number of uploads to display for each package.  By
          default, this is 3.

   WHOUPLOADS_KEYRINGS
          This is a colon-separated list of the  default  keyrings  to  be
          used.    By   default,   it   is   the   two   Debian   keyrings
          /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg                       and
          /usr/share/keyrings/debian-maintainers.gpg.
