REPORTBUG.CONF(5)                      File Formats Manual                      REPORTBUG.CONF(5)



NAME
       reportbug.conf - The configuration file for reportbug

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/reportbug.conf  -  The configuration file for reportbug, a program designed to report
       bugs in the Debian distribution

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page describes the layout of the reportbug and querybts configuration file and
       the  available  configuration  options.   The default location of the file is /etc/report‐
       bug.conf and the options may be overriding in $HOME/.reportbugrc (which follows  the  same
       format as reportbug.conf).

       Please  note  that  any  configuration file has to be a valid UTF-8 document, and not in a
       different locale; this is particularly important in situations where localized  characters
       have to be used (like for realname).

FILE FORMAT
       Configuration options can be specified in the form

       option-name option-value

       True/False (boolean) options can be specified as

       boolean-option

       (if it's present, it's a True).

       Usually, no-option will disable option if option is boolean.

       Options can be specified in any order.

OPTIONS
       The summary of possible options (in alphabetical order) is as follows:

       bts    The bug tracking system to use, see reportbug --help searching for --bts option for
