NAME
.ddtcrc - ddtc script configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
This is the configuration file for ddtc. If it exists, it must be at
the top of your home directory ($HOME). This file is optional unless
you don't want to use default values.
Lines beginning with a number sign (`#') and empty lines will be
ignored. Spaces at the beginning and the end of a line will also be
ignored as well as tabulators. If you need spaces at the end or the
beginning of a value you can use apostrophes (`"'). An option line
starts with it's name followed by a value. An equal sign is optional.
A comment starts with the number sign, there can be any number of
spaces and/or tab stops in front of the #. Some possible examples:
# this line is ignored
option value
option = value # this is a comment
option "value ending with space "
You have to escape number signs with a backslash (`\') to use it in a
value.
Default values are provided into square brackets, they should be
suitable for most installations.
You can use the configuration menu from interactive mode to edit it.
GENERAL
base_dir
base directory, sub-directory of your $HOME unless an absolute path
(i.e. beginning with `/') is provided [ddts]
comment
comment string for review, a space character will be added to this
string [>>]
clean_regex
regular expression to remove file with clean command
[~\$|\.old\$|\.bak\$]
language
language extension to use when asking for new documents to
translate or to review [none]
editor
text editor [sensible-editor]
ddtc_bug
whether reviews are sent in a special way to prevent updating ddts
parts databases or not. [no]
Caution: if set to `yes', the `reply to accept modification' ddts
feature doesn't work anymore and the whole language team should use
ddtc. Ask your language team coordinator before setting this
option.
mail_out
your email address [first found in $ENV{EMAIL}, $ENV{DEBEMAIL} or
none]
mail_in
the mail address you want the ddts to answer to. This is the
address the ddts uses for your identification so you must use this
if you need to set mail_out to another value [mail_out]
mail_server
email address of the server [desc@ddtp.debian.org]
mail_encoding
mail encoding for mime [8bit]
mail_charset
mail charset for mime [ISO-8859-1 for lack of charset used by ddts]

MENU COLORS
Set text colors for clear presentation.
The recognized colors (all of which should be fairly intuitive) are:
clear, reset, dark, bold, underline, underscore, blink, reverse,
concealed, black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white,
on_black, on_red, on_green, on_yellow, on_blue, on_magenta, on_cyan,
and on_white. Case is not significant. Underline and underscore are
equivalent, as are clear and reset, so use whichever is the most
intuitive to you. The color alone sets the foreground color, and
on_color sets the background color.
Note that not all colors are supported by all terminal types, and some
terminals may not support any of these sequences. Dark, blink, and
concealed in particular are frequently not implemented.
menu_title_color
color used for menu title [bold cyan]
menu_letter_color
color used for the letter to be entered [bold cyan]
menu_text_color
color used for the menu item description [cyan]
