Re: Debian Watch Files for MetaCPAN

[Cyr Bol <cyrille.bollu2@gmail.com>]

You want an example watch file for your package?

This is quite simple:

(from https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libdbd-mysql-perl/blob/master/debian/watch)

version=3

https://metacpan.org/release/DBD-mysql .*/DBD-mysql-v?(\d[\d.]+)\.(?:tar(?:\.gz|\.bz2)?|tgz|zip)

just adapt the DBD-mysql-* bits

Br,

Hello,

I'm in the process to update the ancient package of Set::Crontab to a "new" version and current standards.

It also misses a Debian watch file, is there any example for that?

https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch doesn't list us as common upstream :-(.

And eventually this module should be added to Salsa, before you ask that question :-).
