[Pkg-octave-devel] SF redirector for uscan

[Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@laboissiere.net>]

I just discovered that the SF redirector for uscan works much better
than the pattern we are currently using in the debian/watch files of
our packages.  For instance, the current watch file for octave-tsa:

######################################
version=3
http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php \
  http://downloads\.sourceforge\.net/octave/tsa-([\d.]+)\.tar\.gz\?download
######################################

does not work at all, while this one:

######################################
version=3
http://sf.net/octave/tsa-(.+)\.tar\.gz
#######################################

works like a charm.

I think we should start using it for our packages.
