uscan/watch and savannah

[Andreas Rönnquist <mailinglists@gusnan.se>]

Hi

Does anybody maintain a package which uses Savannah as host for the
upstream, and uses the savannah file area for its file releases?

My problem is that while uscan --report-status reports that an upstream
is available, since it checks the

http://download.savannah.gnu.org/<project>

folder, but when it is time to download, savannah redirects to the
nearest mirror site and tries to download from there. (In my case
http://nongnu.uib.no/ ) where the file hasn't had the time to
replicate, which causes problems, and the download isn't possible.

What is the best way to come around this problem where uscan
--report-status reports that a release is available, while it hasn't
had time to replicate to the site where download happens from?

Do you people simply use download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org in watch
instead, or is there a better solution?

best
