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.
