This got me thinking: the version checking mechanism of d/watch files is useless if the outside world changes, i.e. if upstream's URLs change. Why do we then ship this logic with the packages at all, when packages are meant to be useful for an extended amount of time? Would it not be better to decouple the version-checking aspect of d/watch entirely from the actual package tarball? Uscan could then unconditionally pull version information from something à la det the sf.net and PyPI redirectors. The data in that system is then kept updated when upstream changes. -- Gard
