## NAME
       ltnu - lists packages of a maintainer ordered by last upload

## SYNOPSIS
       **env **DEBEMAIL=_maintainer_ **ltnu **[-m]

       **ltnu **[-m] _maintainer_

       **ltnu **--help

## DESCRIPTION
       **ltnu **(Long Time No Upload) queries the public mirror of the Ultimate Debian Database
       (udd-mirror.debian.net) for all uploads of packages by the given uploader or maintainer and
       displays them ordered by the last upload of that package to Debian Unstable, oldest uploads
       first.

       Its primary purpose is to check which of your own or your team's packages haven't been
       uploaded for a long time and likely need a packaging revamp. It's less suitable for MIA team
       purposes as it doesn't make a difference with regards to who actually uploaded a package.

## OPTIONS
       -m  Only search in the Maintainer field and ignore the Uploaders field.

## PARAMETERS
       The  maintainer/uploader  to  query  can  be given either by setting $DEBEMAIL as environment
       variable or as single commandline parameter.

       If a commandline parameter does not contain an "@", "@debian.org"  is  appended,  e.g.  "ltnu
       abe" queries for "<abe@debian.org>".

       Exceptions  are  some  shortcuts  for  common,  long  e-mail  addresses.  So  far implemented
       shortcuts:

       pkg-gnustep  <pkg-gnustep-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>

       pkg-perl     <pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>

       pkg-zsh      <pkg-zsh-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>

       qa           <packages@qa.debian.org>

## ENVIRONMENT
       The following environment variables are honoured:

       DEBEMAIL
           Used for querying if no parameter is given.

       PAGER
           Used by **psql **as pager.

## EXAMPLE
           $ ltnu pkg-zsh
                    source          |     ver      |        uploaded
           -------------------------+--------------+------------------------
            zgen                    | 0~20150919-3 | 2016-08-24 04:55:31+00
            zplug                   | 2.4.1-1      | 2017-01-13 09:51:26+00
            zsh-syntax-highlighting | 0.6.0-1      | 2017-08-30 09:06:26+00
            zsh                     | 5.4.2-2      | 2017-11-02 20:56:55+00
           (4 rows)

## DEPENDENCIES
       **ltnu **uses the PostgreSQL client command  **psql  **and  hence  needs  Debian's  **postgresql-client**
       package to be installed.
