[Aptitude-devel] aptitude 0.8.16 and no changelog and how to subscribe to know about mails to aptitude at packages.debian.org

[Daniel Hartwig]

I suspect you have probably used the form on the PTS web interface to
do this by now, but just to clear up about the email interface ...

> This is an email I got from owner at packages.qa.debian.org :-

The various types of bracket are used to indicate syntax, they aren't
included in the actual commands, i.e. "<sourcepackage>" becomes
"aptitude", "[<email>]" means that it is optional to include an email
address (you can leave it out if sending the mail from the address you
want subscribed).

Try:

subscribe aptitude shirishag75 at gmail.com
keyword aptitude shirishag75 at gmail.com = default cvs
