[PTS-SUBSCRIBE(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/PTS-SUBSCRIBE/1/markdown)                       General Commands Manual                      [PTS-SUBSCRIBE(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/PTS-SUBSCRIBE/1/markdown)



## 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/at/1/markdown) 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/mail/1/markdown).

## 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.
