Another watch file problem

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I stumbled upon another watch file problem for package visad which is
available via ftp.  I considered the following watch file a good idea

opts=downloadurlmangle=s?$?/visad_src.jar?,filenamemangle=s?$?/visad_src.jar? \
    ftp://ftp.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-([\d\.]+)

but got the following warning:

   uscan warning: downloadurlmangle option invalid for ftp sites,

so it seems there is no real chance to obtain an unversioned file from a
versioned ftp directory.

As always I can confirm:  I know that asking upstream is most probably
the better way to fix this but in this case the chances to get a quick
fix are low.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
