It’s Perl scripts targeting the Debbugs instance of the Debian project therefore they need some tweaks as replacement of URLs, IIRC. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts For instance, the help message reads: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ bts -h Usage: bts [options] command [args] [#comment] [.|, command ... ] Valid options are: -o, --offline Do not attempt to connect to BTS for show/bug commands: use cached copy --online, --no-offline Attempt to connect (default) -n, --no-action Do not send emails but print them to standard output. --no-cache Do not attempt to cache new versions of BTS pages when performing show/bug commands --cache Do attempt to cache new versions of BTS pages when performing show/bug commands (default) --cache-mode={min|mbox|full} How much to cache when we are caching: the sensible bare minimum (default), the mbox as well, or everything? --cache-delay=seconds Time to sleep between each download when caching. -m, --mbox With show or bugs, open a mailreader to read the mbox version instead --mailreader=CMD Run CMD to read an mbox; default is 'mutt -f %s' (must contain %s, which is replaced by mbox name) --cc-addr=CC_EMAIL_ADDRESS Send carbon copies to a list of users.
