[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_.
