# umegaya-ddc-ping(1)

Umegaya’s debian-devel-changes pinger

## NAME

umegaya-ddc-ping - Umegaya’s debian-devel-changes pinger

## SYNOPSIS

umegaya-ddc-ping \< email.txt

## DESCRIPTION

Piped emails from http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-changes to this program trigger a ping for the corresponding package in an Umegaya instance.

If `emailaddress` is subscribed to debian-devel-changes, the following entry in `/etc/aliases` will forward emails to `umegaya-ddc-ping`.

emailaddress: \|umegaya-ddc-ping

The name of the package to ping is searched in the third field of the first line starting with `Subject`. In case of failure, the script returns with an exit code of 1, unless the `messages` option is used.

## OPTIONS

`umegaya-ddc-ping` takes no option from the command line, but reads the following from `/etc/umegaya/umegaya.conf`.

### `ping_url`

URL of an Umegaya instance. `http://localhost/umegaya` by default.

### `messages`

Log pings and failures to determine package name to syslog, and do not exit with error in case of failure. Off by default.

## SEE ALSO

`umegaya.conf` (5).
