Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

The ‘python-coverage’ package has a ‘debian/watch’ file. This
configuration allows ‘uscan’ to correctly report the latest upstream
version:

=====
$ uscan --verbose --report
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:
   opts="uversionmangle=s/(\d)([a-z]\d+)$/$1~$2/"     http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/c/coverage/coverage-(.+).tar.gz
-- Found the following matching hrefs:
     coverage-3.0.1.tar.gz
     coverage-3.0.tar.gz
     coverage-3.0b3.tar.gz
     coverage-3.1.tar.gz
     coverage-3.1b1.tar.gz
     coverage-3.2.tar.gz
     coverage-3.2b1.tar.gz
     coverage-3.2b2.tar.gz
     coverage-3.2b3.tar.gz
     coverage-3.2b4.tar.gz
     coverage-3.3.1.tar.gz
     coverage-3.3.tar.gz
     coverage-3.4.tar.gz
     coverage-3.4b1.tar.gz
     coverage-3.4b2.tar.gz
     coverage-3.5.tar.gz
     coverage-3.5b1.tar.gz
Newest version on remote site is 3.5, local version is 3.4
 => coverage-3.5.tar.gz already in package directory
-- Scan finished
=====

The PTS page <URL:http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-coverage.html>
disagrees though:

=====
A new upstream version is available: 3.5~b1, you should consider packaging it.
=====

The PTS is evidently using the watch file's version mangling (that's how
the ‘~’ is introduced), but is comparing the resulting version string
incorrectly and coming up with a wrong value for the latest version.

The correct “new upstream version” at this point in time is not “3.5~b1”
but instead is “3.5”, as correctly determined by ‘uscan’. The PTS should
use the same comparison algorithm in order to get the same result.

This bug appears to be fixed, since now the PTS says last version is
3.5, as determined by uscan (version 3.5b1 is still available on the
repository anyway, so this is not an apparent fix caused by a
disappeared beta version).

If you still experience the problem, please reopen the bug.
