The - Subject of the message is ignored, except for generating the Subject - of the reply. - - The body you send should be a series of commands, one per line. You'll - receive a reply which looks like a transcript of your message being - interpreted, with a response to each command. No notifications are - sent to anyone for the commands listed here and the mail isn't logged - anywhere publicly available. - - Any text on a line starting with a hash sign # is ignored; the server - will stop processing when it finds a line with a control terminator ( - quit, thank you, or two hyphens are common examples). It will also - stop if it encounters too many unrecognised or badly-formatted - commands. If no commands are successfully handled it will send the - help text for the server. - -Commands available - - send bugnumber - send-detail bugnumber - Requests the transcript for the bug report in question. - send-detail sends all of the "boring" messages in the - transcript as well, such as the various auto-acks. - - index [full] - index-summary by-package - index-summary by-number - Request the full index (with full details, and including done - and forwarded reports), or the summary sorted by package or by - number, respectively. - - index-maint - Requests the index page giving the list of maintainers with - bugs (open and recently-closed) in the tracking system. - - index maint maintainer - Requests the index pages of bugs in the system for the - maintainer maintainer. The search term is an exact match. The - bug index will be sent in a separate message. - - index-packages - Requests the index page giving the list of packages with bugs - (open and recently-closed) in the tracking system. - - index packages package - Requests the index pages of bugs in the system for the package - package. The search term is an exact match. The bug index will - be sent in a separate message. - - send-unmatched [this|0] - send-unmatched last|-1 - send-unmatched old|-2 - Requests logs of messages not matched to a particular bug - report, for this week, last week and the week before. (Each - week ends on a Wednesday.) - - getinfo filename - Request a file containing information about package(s) and or - maintainer(s) - the files available are: - - maintainers - The unified list of packages' maintainers, as used by the - tracking system. This is derived from information in the - Packages files, override files and pseudo-packages files. - - override.distribution - override.distribution.non-free - override.distribution.contrib - override.experimental - Information about the priorities and sections of packages - and overriding values for the maintainers. This - information is used by the process which generates the - Packages files in the FTP archive. Information is - available for each of the main distribution trees - available, by their codewords. - - pseudo-packages.description - pseudo-packages.maintainers - List of descriptions and maintainers respectively for - pseudo-packages. - - refcard - Requests that the mailservers' reference card be sent in plain - ASCII. - - help - Requests that this help document be sent by email in plain - ASCII. - - quit - stop - thank - thanks - thankyou - thank you - -- - Stops processing at this point of the message. After this you - may include any text you like, and it will be ignored. You can - use this to include longer comments than are suitable for #, - for example for the benefit of human readers of your message - (reading it via the tracking system logs or due to a CC or - BCC). - - #... - One-line comment. The # must be at the start of the line. - - debug level - Sets the debugging level to level, which should be a - nonnegative integer. 0 is no debugging; 1 is usually - sufficient. The debugging output appears in the transcript. It - is not likely to be useful to general users of the bug system. - - There is a reference card for the mailservers, available via the WWW, - in bug-mailserver-refcard.txt or by email using the refcard command - (see above). - - If you wish to manipulate bug reports you should use the - control@bugs.debian.org address, which understands a superset of the - commands listed above. This is described in another document, - available on the WWW, in the file bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt, or by - sending help to control@bugs. - - In case you are reading this as a plain text file or via email: an - HTML version is available via the bug system main contents page - http://www.debian.org/Bugs/. - _________________________________________________________________ - - Debian BTS administrators <owner@bugs.debian.org> - - Debian bug tracking system - Copyright © 1999 Darren O.
