The URL at http://code.google.com/p/ibus/downloads/list itself tells you everything you need: the version number. And you have a static download location. So what you need to do is to rewrite the download URL to point to http://ibus.googlecode.com/files/ibus-$(version).tar.gz and you must rewrite the filename. With the above URL it will be "detail" and it should of course be "ibus-$(version).tar.gz". See the attached file. Maybe some redirector at qa.d.o would be easier for people. But the change at code.g.c itself doesn't affect your ability to check and download the latest source file. PS: The same BTW goes for sf.net! I would prefer if the necessary (automatic) rewrites would be added to uscan (maybe as modules) and not via redirectors. They are not necessary for sf.net nor code.g.c. But that's my opinion.
