Debian Developer's Packages Overview

Subscribing to Packages

Additional packages can be added to the list of packages shown. There are two interfaces, URL and mail based.

Firstly, one can append &packages=pkg1+pkg2+... to the URL, or enter package names in the 'Display configuration' form. This will create a new section "url" in the listing, independently of the selected login.

Secondly, using the DDPO control bot at ddpo@qa.debian.org, packages are added to the listing for a login (mail address), optionally sorted in user-defined sections. The following commands are accepted:

user address
Process commands for address. Defaults to the address used in the From: header.
Example: user cb@df7cb.de
subscribe srcpackage [section]
Adds srcpackage to the listing. If section is omitted, defaults to "ddpo". This command can also be used to move srcpackage to a different section.
Examples: subscribe endeavour
subscribe rdiff-backup sponsor-panthera
The special section "uploader" allows subscription to uploads made by a developer. This is useful when a DD is not using their @debian.org address for their packages. It is also possible to use a keyid here (8-char, prefixed by 0x; useful if the account was created recently and the projectb does not know about it yet). (Appending &uploader= to the URL gives the same result.)
Example: subscribe myon@debian.org uploader
unsubscribe srcpackage
Removes the srcpackage from the listing.
Example: unsubscribe libextractor
which
