[...] Most packages in the trunk should now have watch files. There are a few exceptions: - app/xterm: I only just saw that upstream keeps old versions on the FTP server, so I'll add this right away. - app/xbase-clients, app/xprint-utils, app/xutils, util/xutils-dev and font/*: these are collections of more than one upstream package and I haven't yet figured out how to tell uscan to account for that. - app/mesa-utils, lib/mesa: since Mesa is not an XSF package, I haven't added watch-files to these. - data/xkb-data-legacy: not provided by upstream anymore. - doc/xorg-sgml-doctools-X11R7.0-1.0.1 and doc/xorg-docs-X11R7.0-1.0.1: maybe these should be renamed to xorg-sgml-doctools and xorg-docs respectively? - driver/xserver-xorg-video-ast: this directory doesn't contain any Debian packaging files, so no need to add a watch file. For the above, I used a small script (available here[0]) which can check all the packages against the watch file (using uscan) and scan for missing watch files. It can also generate a "dummy" watch file if none exists yet, but that usually requires manual tweaking. One idea I was playing with was to enhance the script so that it would send an email notification of new upstream releases, then run the script as a cronjob. I'm not sure how useful this would be, though. - Thierry [0]: http://beatle.dotsec.net/debian/scripts/check-watch.pl
