pts-subscribe - time-limited subscription to the PTS
Contents
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.
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.
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).
