NAME
       bts - developers' command line interface to the Debian Bug Tracking System

SYNOPSIS
       bts [options] command [args] [#comment] [.|, command [args] [#comment]] ...

DESCRIPTION
       This is a command line interface to the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS), intended mainly
       for use by developers. It lets the BTS be manipulated using simple commands that can be
       run at the prompt or in a script, does various sanity checks on the input, and constructs
       and sends a mail to the BTS control address for you. A local cache of web pages and
       e-mails from the BTS may also be created and updated.

       In general, the command line interface is the same as what you would write in a mail to
       control AT bugs.org, just prefixed with "bts". For example:

        % bts severity 69042 normal
        % bts merge 69042 43233
        % bts retitle 69042 blah blah

       A few additional commands have been added for your convenience, and this program is less
       strict about what constitutes a valid bug number. For example, "severity Bug#85942 normal"
       is understood, as is "severity #85942 normal".  (Of course, your shell may regard "#" as a
       comment character though, so you may need to quote it!)

       Also, for your convenience, this program allows you to abbreviate commands to the shortest
       unique substring (similar to how cvs lets you abbreviate commands). So it understands
       things like "bts cl 85942".

       It is also possible to include a comment in the mail sent to the BTS. If your shell does
       not strip out the comment in a command like "bts severity 30321 normal #inflated
       severity", then this program is smart enough to figure out where the comment is, and
       include it in the email.  Note that most shells do strip out such comments before they get
       to the program, unless the comment is quoted.  (Something like "bts severity #85942
       normal" will not be treated as a comment!)

       You can specify multiple commands by separating them with a single dot, rather like
       update-rc.d; a single comma may also be used; all the commands will then be sent in a
       single mail. It is important the dot/comma is surrounded by whitespace so it is not
       mistaken for part of a command.  For example (quoting where necessary so that bts sees the
       comment):

        % bts severity 95672 normal , merge 95672 95673 \#they are the same!

       The abbreviation "it" may be used to refer to the last mentioned bug number, so you could
       write:

        % bts severity 95672 wishlist , retitle it "bts: please add a --foo option"

       Please use this program responsibly, and do take our users into consideration.

OPTIONS
       bts examines the devscripts configuration files as described below.  Command line options
       override the configuration file settings, though.

       -o, --offline
           Make bts use cached bugs for the show and bugs commands, if a cache is available for
           the requested data. See the cache command, below for information on setting up a
           cache.

       --online, --no-offline
           Opposite of --offline; overrides any configuration file directive to work offline.

       -n, --no-action
           Do not send emails but print them to standard output.

       --cache, --no-cache
           Should we attempt to cache new versions of BTS pages when performing show/bugs
           commands?  Default is to cache.

       --cache-mode={min|mbox|full}
           When running a bts cache command, should we only mirror the basic bug (min), or should
           we also mirror the mbox version (mbox), or should we mirror the whole thing, including
           the mbox and the boring attachments to the BTS bug pages and the acknowledgement
           emails (full)?  Default is min.

       --cache-delay=seconds
           Time in seconds to delay between each download, to avoid hammering the BTS web server.
           Default is 5 seconds.

       --mbox
           Open a mail reader to read the mbox corresponding to a given bug number for show and
           bugs commands.

       --mailreader=READER
           Specify the command to read the mbox.  Must contain a "%s" string (unquoted!), which
           will be replaced by the name of the mbox file.  The command will be split on white
           space and will not be passed to a shell.  Default is 'mutt -f %s'.  (Also, %% will be
           substituted by a single % if this is needed.)

       --cc-addr=CC_EMAIL_ADDRESS
           Send carbon copies to a list of users. CC_EMAIL_ADDRESS should be a comma-separated
           list of email addresses. Multiple options add more CCs.

       --use-default-cc
           Add the addresses specified in the configuration file option BTS_DEFAULT_CC to the
           list specified using --cc-addr.  This is the default.

       --no-use-default-cc
           Do not add addresses specified in BTS_DEFAULT_CC to the carbon copy list.

       --sendmail=SENDMAILCMD
           Specify the sendmail command.  The command will be split on white space and will not
           be passed to a shell.  Default is /usr/sbin/sendmail.  The -t option will be
           automatically added if the command is /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/sbin/exim*.  For
           other mailers, if they require a -t option, this must be included in the SENDMAILCMD,
           for example: --sendmail="/usr/sbin/mymailer -t".

       --mutt
           Use mutt for sending of mails. Default is not to use mutt, except for some commands.

           Note that one of $DEBEMAIL or $EMAIL must be set in the environment in order to use
           mutt to send emails.

       --no-mutt
           Don't use mutt for sending of mails.

       --soap-timeout=SECONDS
           Specify a timeout for SOAP calls as used by the select and status commands.

       --smtp-host=SMTPHOST
           Specify an SMTP host.  If given, bts will send mail by talking directly to this SMTP
           host rather than by invoking a sendmail command.

           The host name may be followed by a colon (":") and a port number in order to use a
           port other than the default.  It may also begin with "ssmtp://" or "smtps://" to
           indicate that SMTPS should be used.

           If SMTPS not specified, bts will still try to use STARTTLS if it's advertised by the
           SMTP host.

           Note that one of $DEBEMAIL or $EMAIL must be set in the environment in order to use
           direct SMTP connections to send emails.

           Note that when sending directly via an SMTP host, specifying addresses in --cc-addr or
           BTS_DEFAULT_CC that the SMTP host will not relay will cause the SMTP host to reject
           the entire mail.

           Note also that the use of the reassign command may, when either --mutt or
           --force-interactive mode is enabled, lead to the automatic addition of a Cc to
           $newpackage AT packages.org.  In these cases, the note above regarding relaying
           applies.  The submission interface (port 587) on reportbug.debian.org does not support
           relaying and, as such, should not be used as an SMTP server for bts under the
           circumstances described in this paragraph.

       --smtp-username=USERNAME, --smtp-password=PASSWORD
           Specify the credentials to use when connecting to the SMTP server specified by
           --smtp-host.  If the server does not require authentication then these options should
           not be used.

           If a username is specified but not a password, bts will prompt for the password before
           sending the mail.

       --smtp-helo=HELO
           Specify the name to use in the HELO command when connecting to the SMTP server;
           defaults to the contents of the file /etc/mailname, if it exists.

           Note that some SMTP servers may reject the use of a HELO which either does not resolve
           or does not appear to belong to the host using it.

       --bts-server
           Use a debbugs server other than https://bugs.debian.org.

       -f, --force-refresh
           Download a bug report again, even if it does not appear to have changed since the last
           cache command.  Useful if a --cache-mode=full is requested for the first time
           (otherwise unchanged bug reports will not be downloaded again, even if the boring bits
           have not been downloaded).

       --no-force-refresh
           Suppress any configuration file --force-refresh option.

       --only-new
           Download only new bugs when caching. Do not check for updates in bugs we already have.

       --include-resolved
           When caching bug reports, include those that are marked as resolved.  This is the
           default behaviour.

       --no-include-resolved
           Reverse the behaviour of the previous option.  That is, do not cache bugs that are
           marked as resolved.

       --no-ack
           Suppress acknowledgment mails from the BTS.  Note that this will only affect the
           copies of messages CCed to bugs, not those sent to the control bot.

       --ack
           Do not suppress acknowledgement mails.  This is the default behaviour.

       -i, --interactive
           Before sending an e-mail to the control bot, display the content and allow it to be
           edited, or the sending cancelled.

       --force-interactive
           Similar to --interactive, with the exception that an editor is spawned before
           prompting for confirmation of the message to be sent.

       --no-interactive
           Send control e-mails without confirmation.  This is the default behaviour.

       -q, --quiet
           When running bts cache, only display information about newly cached pages, not
           messages saying already cached.  If this option is specified twice, only output error
           messages (to stderr).

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

COMMANDS
       For full details about the commands, see the BTS documentation.
       <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control>

       show [options] [bug number | package | maintainer | : ] [opt=val ...]
       show [options] [src:package | from:submitter] [opt=val ...]
       show [options] [tag:tag | usertag:tag ] [opt=val ...]
       show [release-critical | release-critical/... | RC]
           This is a synonym for bts bugs.

       bugs [options] [bug_number | package | maintainer | : ] [opt=val ...]
       bugs [options] [src:package | from:submitter] [opt=val ...]
       bugs [options] [tag:tag | usertag:tag ] [opt=val ...]
       bugs [release-critical | release-critical/... | RC]
           Display the page listing the requested bugs in a web browser using
           sensible-browser(1).

           Options may be specified after the bugs command in addition to or instead of options
           at the start of the command line: recognised options at this point are:
           -o/--offline/--online, -m/--mbox, --mailreader and --[no-]cache.  These are described
           earlier in this manpage.  If either the -o or --offline option is used, or there is
           already an up-to-date copy in the local cache, the cached version will be used.

           The meanings of the possible arguments are as follows:

           (none)  If nothing is specified, bts bugs will display your bugs, assuming that either
                   DEBEMAIL or EMAIL (examined in that order) is set to the appropriate email
                   address.

           bug_number
                   Display bug number bug_number.

           package Display the bugs for the package package.

           src:package
                   Display the bugs for the source package package.

           maintainer
                   Display the bugs for the maintainer email address maintainer.

           from:submitter
                   Display the bugs for the submitter email address submitter.

           tag:tag Display the bugs which are tagged with tag.

           usertag:tag
                   Display the bugs which are tagged with usertag tag.  See the BTS documentation
                   for more information on usertags.  This will require the use of a users=email
                   option.

           :       Details of the bug tracking system itself, along with a bug-request page with
                   more options than this script, can be found on https://bugs.debian.org/.  This
                   page itself will be opened if the command 'bts bugs :' is used.

           release-critical, RC
                   Display the front page of the release-critical pages on the BTS.  This is a
                   synonym for https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/index.html.  It is also
                   possible to say release-critical/debian/main.html and the like.  RC is a
                   synonym for release-critical/other/all.html.

           After the argument specifying what to display, you can optionally specify options to
           use to format the page or change what it displayed.  These are passed to the BTS in
           the URL downloaded. For example, pass dist=stable to see bugs affecting the stable
           version of a package, version=1.0 to see bugs affecting that version of a package, or
           reverse=yes to display newest messages first in a bug log.

           If caching has been enabled (that is, --no-cache has not been used, and BTS_CACHE has
           not been set to no), then any page requested by bts show will automatically be cached,
           and be available offline thereafter.  Pages which are automatically cached in this way
           will be deleted on subsequent "bts show|bugs|cache" invocations if they have not been
           accessed in 30 days.  Warning: on a filesystem mounted with the "noatime" option,
           running "bts show|bugs" does not update the cache files' access times; a cached bug
           will then be subject to auto-cleaning 30 days after its initial download, even if it
           has been accessed in the meantime.

           Any other bts commands following this on the command line will be executed after the
           browser has been exited.

           The desired browser can be specified and configured by setting the BROWSER environment
           variable.  The conventions follow those defined by Eric Raymond at
           http://www.catb.org/~esr/BROWSER/; we here reproduce the relevant part.

           The value of BROWSER may consist of a colon-separated series of browser command parts.
           These should be tried in order until one succeeds. Each command part may optionally
           contain the string %s; if it does, the URL to be viewed is substituted there. If a
           command part does not contain %s, the browser is to be launched as if the URL had been
           supplied as its first argument. The string %% must be substituted as a single %.

           Rationale: We need to be able to specify multiple browser commands so programs obeying
           this convention can do the right thing in either X or console environments, trying X
           first. Specifying multiple commands may also be useful for people who share files like
           .profile across multiple systems. We need %s because some popular browsers have
           remote-invocation syntax that requires it. Unless %% reduces to %, it won't be
           possible to have a literal %s in the string.

           For example, on most Linux systems a good thing to do would be:

           BROWSER='mozilla -raise -remote "openURL(%s,new-window)":links'

       select [key:value ...]
           Uses the SOAP interface to output a list of bugs which match the given selection
           requirements.

           The following keys are allowed, and may be given multiple times.

           package Binary package name.

           source  Source package name.

           maintainer
                   E-mail address of the maintainer.

           submitter
                   E-mail address of the submitter.

           severity
                   Bug severity.

           status  Status of the bug.  One of open, done, or forwarded.

           tag     Tags applied to the bug. If users is specified, may include usertags in
                   addition to the standard tags.

           owner   Bug's owner.

           correspondent
                   Address of someone who sent mail to the log.

           affects Bugs which affect this package.

           bugs    List of bugs to search within.

           users   Users to use when looking up usertags.

           archive Whether to search archived bugs or normal bugs; defaults to 0 (i.e. only
                   search normal bugs). As a special case, if archive is both, both archived and
                   unarchived bugs are returned.

           For example, to select the set of bugs submitted by jrandomdeveloper AT example.com and
           tagged wontfix, one would use

           bts select submitter:jrandomdeveloper AT example.com tag:wontfix

           If a key is used multiple times then the set of bugs selected includes those matching
           any of the supplied values; for example

           bts select package:foo severity:wishlist severity:minor

           returns all bugs of package foo with either wishlist or minor severity.

       status [bug | file:file | fields:field[,field ...] | verbose] ...
           Uses the SOAP interface to output status information for the given bugs (or as read
           from the listed files -- use - to indicate STDIN).

           By default, all populated fields for a bug are displayed.

           If verbose is given, empty fields will also be displayed.

           If fields is given, only those fields will be displayed.  No validity checking is
           performed on any specified fields.

       clone bug new_ID [new_ID ...]
           The clone control command allows you to duplicate a bug report. It is useful in the
           case where a single report actually indicates that multiple distinct bugs have
           occurred. "New IDs" are negative numbers, separated by spaces, which may be used in
           subsequent control commands to refer to the newly duplicated bugs.  A new report is
           generated for each new ID.

       done bug [version]
           Mark a bug as Done. This forces interactive mode since done messages should include an
           explanation why the bug is being closed.  You should specify which version of the
           package closed the bug, if possible.

       reopen bug [submitter]
           Reopen a bug, with optional submitter.

       archive bug
           Archive a bug that has previously been archived but is currently not.  The bug must
           fulfill all of the requirements for archiving with the exception of those that are
           time-based.

       unarchive bug
           Unarchive a bug that is currently archived.

       retitle bug title
           Change the title of the bug.

       summary bug [messagenum]
           Select a message number that should be used as the summary of a bug.

           If no message number is given, the summary is cleared.

       submitter bug [bug ...] submitter-email
           Change the submitter address of a bug or a number of bugs, with ! meaning `use the
           address on the current email as the new submitter address'.

       reassign bug [bug ...] package [version]
           Reassign a bug or a number of bugs to a different package.  The version field is
           optional; see the explanation at <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control>.

       found bug [version]
           Indicate that a bug was found to exist in a particular package version.  Without
           version, the list of fixed versions is cleared and the bug is reopened.

       notfound bug version
           Remove the record that bug was encountered in the given version of the package to
           which it is assigned.

       fixed bug version
           Indicate that a bug was fixed in a particular package version, without affecting the
           bug's open/closed status.

       notfixed bug version
           Remove the record that a bug was fixed in the given version of the package to which it
           is assigned.

           This is equivalent to the sequence of commands "found bug version", "notfound bug
           version".

       block bug by|with bug [bug ...]
           Note that a bug is blocked from being fixed by a set of other bugs.

       unblock bug by|with bug [bug ...]
           Note that a bug is no longer blocked from being fixed by a set of other bugs.

       merge bug bug [bug ...]
           Merge a set of bugs together.

       forcemerge bug bug [bug ...]
           Forcibly merge a set of bugs together. The first bug listed is the master bug, and its
           settings (those which must be equal in a normal merge) are assigned to the bugs listed
           next.

       unmerge bug
           Unmerge a bug.

       tag bug [+|-|=] tag [tag ...]
       tags bug [+|-|=] tag [tag ...]
           Set or unset a tag on a bug. The tag may either be the exact tag name or it may be
           abbreviated to any unique tag substring. (So using fixed will set the tag fixed, not
           fixed-upstream, for example, but fix would not be acceptable.) Multiple tags may be
           specified as well. The two commands (tag and tags) are identical. At least one tag
           must be specified, unless the = flag is used, where the command

             bts tags <bug> =

           will remove all tags from the specified bug.

           Adding/removing the security tag will add "team\@security.debian.org" to the Cc list
           of the control email.

           The list of valid tags and their significance is available at
           <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#tags>. The current valid tags are:

           patch, wontfix, moreinfo, unreproducible, fixed, help, security, upstream, pending,
           d-i, confirmed, ipv6, lfs, fixed-upstream, l10n, newcomer, a11y, ftbfs

           There is also a tag for each release of Debian since "potato". Note that this list may
           be out of date, see the website for the most up to date source.

       affects bug [+|-|=] package [package ...]
           Indicates that a bug affects a package other than that against which it is filed,
           causing the bug to be listed by default in the package list of the other package.
           This should generally be used where the bug is severe enough to cause multiple reports
           from users to be assigned to the wrong package.  At least one package must be
           specified, unless the = flag is used, where the command

             bts affects <bug> =

           will remove all indications that bug affects other packages.

       user email
           Specify a user email address before using the usertags command.

       usertag bug [+|-|=] tag [tag ...]
       usertags bug [+|-|=] tag [tag ...]
           Set or unset a user tag on a bug. The tag must be the exact tag name wanted; there are
           no defaults or checking of tag names.  Multiple tags may be specified as well. The two
           commands (usertag and usertags) are identical.  At least one tag must be specified,
           unless the = flag is used, where the command

             bts usertags <bug> =

           will remove all user tags from the specified bug.

       claim bug [claim]
           Record that you have claimed a bug (e.g. for a bug squashing party).  claim should be
           a unique token allowing the bugs you have claimed to be identified; an e-mail address
           is often used.

           If no claim is specified, the environment variable DEBEMAIL or EMAIL (checked in that
           order) is used.

       unclaim bug [claim]
           Remove the record that you have claimed a bug.

           If no claim is specified, the environment variable DEBEMAIL or EMAIL (checked in that
           order) is used.

       severity bug severity
           Change the severity of a bug. Available severities are: wishlist, minor, normal,
           important, serious, grave, critical. The severity may be abbreviated to any unique
           substring.

       forwarded bug address
           Mark the bug as forwarded to the given address (usually an email address or a URL for
           an upstream bug tracker).

       notforwarded bug
           Mark a bug as not forwarded.

       package [package ...]
           The following commands will only apply to bugs against the listed packages; this acts
           as a safety mechanism for the BTS.  If no packages are listed, this check is turned
           off again.

       limit [key[:value]] ...
           The following commands will only apply to bugs which meet the specified criterion;
           this acts as a safety mechanism for the BTS.  If no values are listed, the limits for
           that key are turned off again.  If no keys are specified, all limits are reset.

           submitter
                   E-mail address of the submitter.

           date    Date the bug was submitted.

           subject Subject of the bug.

           msgid   Message-id of the initial bug report.

           package Binary package name.

           source  Source package name.

           tag     Tags applied to the bug.

           severity
                   Bug severity.

           owner   Bug's owner.

           affects Bugs affecting this package.

           archive Whether to search archived bugs or normal bugs; defaults to 0 (i.e. only
                   search normal bugs). As a special case, if archive is both, both archived and
                   unarchived bugs are returned.

           For example, to limit the set of bugs affected by the subsequent control commands to
           those submitted by jrandomdeveloper AT example.com and tagged wontfix, one would use

           bts limit submitter:jrandomdeveloper AT example.com tag:wontfix

           If a key is used multiple times then the set of bugs selected includes those matching
           any of the supplied values; for example

           bts limit package:foo severity:wishlist severity:minor

           only applies the subsequent control commands to bugs of package foo with either
           wishlist or minor severity.

       owner bug owner-email
           Change the "owner" address of a bug, with ! meaning `use the address on the current
           email as the new owner address'.

           The owner of a bug accepts responsibility for dealing with it.

       noowner bug
           Mark a bug as having no "owner".

       subscribe bug [email]
           Subscribe the given email address to the specified bug report.  If no email address is
           specified, the environment variable DEBEMAIL or EMAIL (in that order) is used.  If
           those are not set, or ! is given as email address, your default address will be used.

           After executing this command, you will be sent a subscription confirmation to which
           you have to reply.  When subscribed to a bug report, you receive all relevant emails
           and notifications.  Use the unsubscribe command to unsubscribe.

       unsubscribe bug [email]
           Unsubscribe the given email address from the specified bug report.  As with subscribe
           above, if no email address is specified, the environment variables DEBEMAIL or EMAIL
           (in that order) is used.  If those are not set, or ! is given as email address, your
           default address will be used.

           After executing this command, you will be sent an unsubscription confirmation to which
           you have to reply. Use the subscribe command to, well, subscribe.

       reportspam bug ...
           The reportspam command allows you to report a bug report as containing spam.  It saves
           one from having to go to the bug web page to do so.

       spamreport bug ...
           spamreport is a synonym for reportspam.

       cache [options] [maint_email | pkg | src:pkg | from:submitter]
       cache [options] [release-critical | release-critical/... | RC]
           Generate or update a cache of bug reports for the given email address or package. By
           default it downloads all bugs belonging to the email address in the DEBEMAIL
           environment variable (or the EMAIL environment variable if DEBEMAIL is unset). This
           command may be repeated to cache bugs belonging to several people or packages. If
           multiple packages or addresses are supplied, bugs belonging to any of the arguments
           will be cached; those belonging to more than one of the arguments will only be
           downloaded once. The cached bugs are stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/devscripts/bts/ or, if
           XDG_CACHE_HOME is not set, in ~/.cache/devscripts/bts/.

           You can use the cached bugs with the -o switch. For example:

             bts -o bugs
             bts -o show 12345

           Also, bts will update the files in it in a piecemeal fashion as it downloads
           information from the BTS using the show command. You might thus set up the cache, and
           update the whole thing once a week, while letting the automatic cache updates update
           the bugs you frequently refer to during the week.

           Some options affect the behaviour of the cache command.  The first is the setting of
           --cache-mode, which controls how much bts downloads of the referenced links from the
           bug page, including boring bits such as the acknowledgement emails, emails to the
           control bot, and the mbox version of the bug report.  It can take three values: min
           (the minimum), mbox (download the minimum plus the mbox version of the bug report) or
           full (the whole works).  The second is --force-refresh or -f, which forces the
           download, even if the cached bug report is up-to-date.  The --include-resolved option
           indicates whether bug reports marked as resolved should be downloaded during caching.

           Each of these is configurable from the configuration file, as described below.  They
           may also be specified after the cache command as well as at the start of the command
           line.

           Finally, -q or --quiet will suppress messages about caches being up-to-date, and
           giving the option twice will suppress all cache messages (except for error messages).

           Beware of caching RC, though: it will take a LONG time!  (With 1000+ RC bugs and a
           delay of 5 seconds between bugs, you're looking at a minimum of 1.5 hours, and
           probably significantly more than that.)

       cleancache package | src:package | maintainer
       cleancache from:submitter | tag:tag | usertag:tag | number | ALL
           Clean the cache for the specified package, maintainer, etc., as described above for
           the bugs command, or clean the entire cache if ALL is specified. This is useful if you
           are going to have permanent network access or if the database has become corrupted for
           some reason.  Note that for safety, this command does not default to the value of
           DEBEMAIL or EMAIL.

       listcachedbugs [number]
           List cached bug ids (intended to support bash completion). The optional number
           argument restricts the list to those bug ids that start with that number.

       version
           Display version and copyright information.

       help
           Display a short summary of commands, suspiciously similar to parts of this man page.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       DEBEMAIL
           If this is set, the From: line in the email will be set to use this email address
           instead of your normal email address (as would be determined by mail).

       DEBFULLNAME
           If DEBEMAIL is set, DEBFULLNAME is examined to determine the full name to use; if this
           is not set, bts attempts to determine a name from your passwd entry.

       BROWSER
           If set, it specifies the browser to use for the show and bugs options.  See the
           description above.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
       The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and ~/.devscripts are sourced by a shell
       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:

       BTS_OFFLINE
           If this is set to yes, then it is the same as the --offline command line parameter
           being used.  Only has an effect on the show and bugs commands.  The default is no.
           See the description of the show command above for more information.

       BTS_CACHE
           If this is set to no, then it is the same as the --no-cache command line parameter
           being used.  Only has an effect on the show and bug commands.  The default is yes.
           Again, see the show command above for more information.

       BTS_CACHE_MODE={min,mbox,full}
           How much of the BTS should we mirror when we are asked to cache something?  Just the
           minimum, or also the mbox or the whole thing?  The default is min, and it has the same
           meaning as the --cache-mode command line parameter.  Only has an effect on the cache.
           See the cache command for more information.

       BTS_FORCE_REFRESH
           If this is set to yes, then it is the same as the --force-refresh command line
           parameter being used.  Only has an effect on the cache command.  The default is no.
           See the cache command for more information.

       BTS_MAIL_READER
           If this is set, specifies a mail reader to use instead of mutt.  Same as the
           --mailreader command line option.

       BTS_SENDMAIL_COMMAND
           If this is set, specifies a sendmail command to use instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.
           Same as the --sendmail command line option.

       BTS_ONLY_NEW
           Download only new bugs when caching. Do not check for updates in bugs we already have.
           The default is no.  Same as the --only-new command line option.

       BTS_SMTP_HOST
           If this is set, specifies an SMTP host to use for sending mail rather than using the
           sendmail command.  Same as the --smtp-host command line option.

           Note that this option takes priority over BTS_SENDMAIL_COMMAND if both are set, unless
           the --sendmail option is used.

       BTS_SMTP_AUTH_USERNAME, BTS_SMTP_AUTH_PASSWORD
           If these options are set, then it is the same as the --smtp-username and
           --smtp-password options being used.

       BTS_SMTP_HELO
           Same as the --smtp-helo command line option.

       BTS_INCLUDE_RESOLVED
           If this is set to no, then it is the same as the --no-include-resolved command line
           parameter being used.  Only has an effect on the cache command.  The default is yes.
           See the cache command for more information.

       BTS_SUPPRESS_ACKS
           If this is set to yes, then it is the same as the --no-ack command line parameter
           being used.  The default is no.

       BTS_INTERACTIVE
           If this is set to yes or force, then it is the same as the --interactive or
           --force-interactive command line parameter being used.  The default is no.

       BTS_DEFAULT_CC
           Specify a list of e-mail addresses to which a carbon copy of the generated e-mail to
           the control bot should automatically be sent.

       BTS_SERVER
           Specify the name of a debbugs server which should be used instead of
           https://bugs.debian.org.
