Indeed it looks like that may be be the best way to proceed at least
until SF.net can provide a solution.

When I wrote the RSS parser script I have tried to make it seamlessly
fit with the old redirector.. so it could be fitted in place of, but
currently the is one difference.

The links in the current redirector are written displayed (in source) as:

> <a href='vpcs-0.5b0-src.tbz'>vpcs-0.5b0-src.tbz</a><br/>

Which results in the following link:

> https://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/vpcs/vpcs-0.5b0-src.tbz

For some reason (maybe server configuration difference) I wasn't able to
achieve exactly the same in my RSS based redirector...

So in the page source I have:
	> <a
href='/debian/sf.php/vpcs/vpcs-0.5b2-src.tbz'>vpcs-0.5b2-src.tbz</a><br/>

Note the addition of the directory and script name, which may break some
of the regex's (it did for me). I had to add this in the source as I
couldn't get the link displayed with the slash argument when I tested it
on my servers.

It may be that I've missed something obvious... so feel free to correct me!

Daniel
