Problem creating mn-fit watch file (packaging comments also welcome)
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
I've ITP'ed Mn_Fit, an interactive fitting and analysis program (bug #
288959), and I have most of the packaging finished. I could use some
help figuring out an appropriate watch file because the tar files on the
Mn_Fit web site are named in a kind of strange way. Specifically, for
version 5.03, the file is named mn_fit_v5_03.tar.gz -- there is an
underscore in the version number that needs to be replaced with a period
when comparing versions.
So far I have something like:
version=2
http://www-zeus.physik.uni-bonn.de/~brock/mn_fit/tar/ \
mn_fit_v([0-9_]*)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate
Running uscan --verbose --no-download outputs:
> -- Scanning for watchfiles in .
> -- Found watchfile in ./debian
> -- In ./debian/watch, processing watchfile line:
> http://www-zeus.physik.uni-bonn.de/~brock/mn_fit/tar/ mn_fit_v([0-9_]*)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate
> -- Found the following matching hrefs:
> mn_fit_v5_03.tar.gz
> mn_fit_v5_01.tar.gz
> Newest version on remote site is 5_03, local version is 5.03
> => mn_fit_v5_03.tar.gz already in package directory
> -- Scan finished
If anyone wants to take the further step of looking at my packaging,
that would be appreciated too. :-) It can be found at
deb-src http://borex.princeton.edu/~kmccarty/ unstable main
apt-get source mn-fit
Please note that I'm waiting on the upstream author to get back to me
about a LaTeX .cls file missing from the source; until that happens, the
mn-fit-doc binary package won't be generated correctly. Also I am
planning on converting the source package to use dpatch before looking
for a sponsor.
CC-ing this message to Joerg Jaspert, my AM, in case he wants to make
any comments. (Hi Joerg!)
