querybts - view outstanding bug reports on a debbugs server

                                                                                                     querybts(1)

querybts  supports  a  simple  run  control  file syntax.  Commands are read from /etc/reportbug.conf and
       $HOME/.reportbugrc with commands in the latter overriding those in the former.

       Commands are not case sensitive, and currently take 0 or 1 argument; arguments containing whitespace must
       be enclosed in quotes.

       Any line starting with # is taken to be a comment and will be ignored.

       Generally, options corresponding to the long options for  querybts  are  supported,  without  leading  --
       sequences.   See the default /etc/reportbug.conf for all acceptable options and reportbug.conf(5) for all
       acceptable options and detailed information.

       Options only supported by reportbug will be silently ignored.

querybts  is  designed  to  provide  a  convenient  and easy-to-use interface to the Debbugs bug tracking
       system, as used by Debian and several other projects.  You can specify a package  name  or  one  or  more
       report numbers.

http_proxy
              Provides the address of a proxy server to handle the BTS query.  This should be a valid  http  URL
              for  a proxy server, including any required port number (simply specifying a hostname, or omitting
              a port other than 80, WILL NOT WORK).

       querybts - view outstanding bug reports on a debbugs server

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--').
       A summary of options are included below.

       -h,--help
              Show summary of options.

       --version
              Show the version of querybts and exit.

       -A,--archive
              Browse  archived  bugs instead of current reports.  Debbugs servers clear out closed reports after
              28 days and place them in a separate archive; this option allows those older, resolved reports  to
              be viewed (at least for servers that maintain an archive).

       -BSYSTEM,--bts=SYSTEM
              Instead  of  the Debian bug server, use the server specified by SYSTEM.  Valid options are default
              and debian but check --help for an updated list.

       -b,--buglist
              Display a bugs list for the given package.

       --latest-first
              Display the bug reports list sorted and with the latest reports at the top.

       --mbox-reader-cmd=MBOX_READER_CMD
              Specify a command to open the bug reports mbox file. You can use %s to substitute the mbox file to
              be used, and %% to insert a literal percent sign. If no %s is specified, the  mbox  file  name  is
              supplied at the end of the argument list.

       -m,--mbox
              Retrieve  the  given bug number(s) or package name(s) as a mailbox file, instead of viewing it. It
              will be dumped to standard output.

       --proxy=PROXY,--http_proxy=PROXY
              Specify the WWW proxy server to use to handle the queries to the bug tracking system.  You  should
              only need this parameter if you are behind a firewall.

       -s,--source
              Query on source packages, rather than binary packages.

       --timeout=SECONDS
              Specify  the  network timeout, the number of seconds to wait for a resource to respond. If nothing
              is specified, a default timeout of 1 minute is selected.

              In case of a network error, there are chances it's due to a  too  low  timeout:  try  passing  the
              --timeout option with a higher value than default.

       -uINTERFACE,--ui=INTERFACE,--interface=INTERFACE
              Specify  the user interface to use.  Valid options are text, urwid, gtk; default is taken from the
              reportbug configuration files.

       -w,--web
              Launch a web browser to view bug reports, instead of using the internal interface.  This will also
              allow you to see the whole discussion about a particular bug at once, instead of one message at  a
              time as querybts would do.  (Only the first bug number on the command line will be opened.)
