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.
