Google Code and watchfiles

[Sascha Steinbiss <sascha@steinbiss.name>]

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
