Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.53
Severity: normal
According to the uscan(1) manual page:
# qa.debian.org runs a redirector which allows a simpler form of URL
# for SourceForge based projects. The format below will automatically
# be rewritten to use the redirector.
http://sf.net/audacity/audacity-src-(.+)\.tar\.gz
The debian/watch file for the qpdf package is
version=3
http://sf.net/qpdf/qpdf-([\d\.]+)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate
When I run uscan --report-status, I get the following output:
uscan warning: In debian/watch,
no matching hrefs for watch line
http://sf.net/qpdf/qpdf-([\d\.]+)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate
Sourceforge.net recently discontinued their old file release system in
favor of a simpler system. The URL
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qpdf/files/qpdf/
gets to the release area. It seems like
version=3
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qpdf/files/qpdf/ [\d\.]+/qpdf-(.*)\.tar\.gz
should also work, except uscan appears unable to deal with what you
get when you browse to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qpdf/files/qpdf/.
That's a guess though as I don't really know what uscan is doing
behind the scenes.
Either way, it seems like qa.debian.org's sf.net redirector probably
needs to be updated based on sourceforge's new release system.
