Creating a separate script wouldn't really make much sense in my case. I was only fixing the watch file as a formality. Upstream is dead, so I wouldn't be using it, but it would satisfy projects like dehs, and my QA page warns me about my broken watch file. I think I will just use the watch file that I mentioned in my original post. This one: version=3 http://www.xevil.com/xevil/dev/download.html (.*)/download_stable.shtml It won't download the latest version (it downloads download_stable.shtml) But it checks the version just fine. I'll make a note in the watch file, saying what it can do, what it can't, and why that should be OK. Thanks for your help. If anyone knows how to make my watch file download the correct file, that would be great. I think it is impossible, though. I have one more question about watch files. If I were to delete the watch file (maybe upstream website will be taken down in the future?), is there anything special I should do to override the missing watch file warnings? Is there a signal to sites like dehs that a watch file would be inappropriate for a specific project? -Brandon
