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.
