Google Code and watchfiles
Hi all,
Google Code has recently changed the way its 'archived' repos are
presented. The previous links are redirected to the new format, e.g.:
https://code.google.com/archive/p/pbsim/downloads
but the download links there are now populated via Javascript from a
JSON file fetched in a later request. I can't really see a way to make
this work with uscan and watchfiles. Does anyone have any ideas?
Otherwise I would consider dropping watchfiles (+ override Lintian) in
cases where upstream used Google Code but does not bother to migrate the
repo to a new home...?
Cheers,
Sascha
