[_WHO-UPLOADS_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/WHO-UPLOADS/1/markdown)                         General Commands Manual                        [_WHO-UPLOADS_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/WHO-UPLOADS/1/markdown)

## NAME
       who-uploads - identify the uploaders of Debian source packages

## SYNOPSIS
       **who-uploads **[_options_] _source_package_ ...

## DESCRIPTION
       **who-uploads  **uses  the  Package  Tracking System (PTS) to identify the uploaders of the three
       most recent versions of the given source packages.  Note that the  uploaders  are  identified
       using their [**gpg**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/gpg/1/markdown) or [**gpg2**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/gpg2/1/markdown) keys; installing a recent version of the _debian-keyring_ package
       should provide most of the required keys.

       Note  that  because the PTS uses source packages, you must give the source package names, not
       the binary package names.

## OPTIONS
### -M --max-uploads=_
              Specify the maximum number of uploads to display for each package; the default  is  3.
              Note that you may not see this many uploads if there are not this many recorded in the
              PTS.

       **--keyring _**keyring_
              Add _keyring_ to the list of keyrings to be searched for the uploader's GPG key.

### --no-default-keyrings
              By  default,  **who-uploads  **uses  the three Debian keyrings _/usr/share/keyrings/debian-_
              _keyring.gpg_, _/usr/share/keyrings/debian-nonupload.gpg_, and _/usr/share/keyrings/debian-_
              _maintainers.gpg_ (although this default can be changed in the configuration  file,  see
              below).   Specifying this option means that the default keyrings will not be examined.
              The **--keyring **option overrides this one.

       **--date **Show the date of the upload alongside the uploader's details

       **--nodate**, **--no-date**
              Do not show the date of the upload alongside the uploader's details.  This is the  de‐
              fault behaviour.

       **--no-conf**, **--noconf**
              Do  not read any configuration files.  This can only be used as the first option given
              on the command-line.

       **--help**, **-h**
              Display a help message and exit successfully.

### --version
              Display version and copyright information and exit successfully.

## 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:

       **WHOUPLOADS_DATE**
              Show  the  date  of  the upload alongside the uploader's details.  By default, this is
              "no".

       **WHOUPLOADS_MAXUPLOADS**
              The maximum number of uploads to display for each package.  By default, this is 3.

       **WHOUPLOADS_KEYRINGS**
              This is a colon-separated list of the default keyrings to be used.  By default, it  is
              the       three      Debian      keyrings      _/usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg_,
              _/usr/share/keyrings/debian-nonupload.gpg_,   and   _/usr/share/keyrings/debian-maintain‐_
              _ers.gpg_.
