Help for watch file needed (has anything changed on gitlab that needs to be respected?)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

after the gitlab migration of v-sim upstream I drafted a watch file
following some examples that worked for me in the past on Gitlab.  I
realised these examples watch files are also failing currently.  Thus
I suspect some change on Gitlab and I wonder how I could fix the
watch file[1] which looks like:

version=4
https://gitlab.com/l_sim/v_sim/tags?sort=updated_desc .*/v_sim-(\d[\d.]+)\.tar\.gz

I get:

$ uscan --verbose --report
uscan info: uscan (version 2.25.2) See uscan(1) for help
uscan info: Scan watch files in .
uscan info: Check debian/watch and debian/changelog in .

  https://gitlab.com/l_sim/v_sim/tags?sort=updated_desc .*/v_sim-(\d[\d.]+)\.tar\.gz

Any help would be welcome.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
