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.
