## NAME

bts-srcpkg - query bugs.debian.org for bugs in a source package

## SYNOPSIS

**bts-srcpkg** *\[-a\]* *\[-f\]* *\[-h\]* *\[-m\]* *\[-c\]* *\[-t\]* *\[source package name\]*

## DESCRIPTION

**bts-srcpkg** queries the Debian BTS for bugs in a *source package*.

The *source package name* can be passed as a command line parameter. By default, it is read from *debian/control* in the current directory.

If you are in a Debian source directory, you can just type **bts-srcpkg** to get a list of the open bugs of the package you are working on.

## ARGUMENTS

- **source package name**

  Name of the source package to query bugs for. By default, the name is taken from *debian/control* in the current directory.

## OPTIONS

- **-a** Show all bugs of a source package.

  Also show done or archived bugs. By default, only open bugs are shown.

- **-f** Show all fields of a bug.

  Also show less relevant fields. By default, only bug\_num, originator, subject, severity, forwarded, and tags are shown.

- **-c** Disable colored output.

  Don't colorize output. By default, output uses colors, unless STDOUT is not a tty or the environment variables CLICOLOR or NO\_COLOR are set to false or true, respectively.

- **-t** Disable title.

  Don't output the title with the packagename. Might be convenient when called from another script.
