Hi, I am going over bugs. The current watch for the package reported for this original bug report https://bugs.debian.org/734748 has been updated to be:
version=3 http://download.kde.org/stable/applications/([\d.]+)/src/kde-workspace-([\d.]+).tar.xz So this is not in FTP as originally reported but still uses single word "URL"+"href matching pattern". KDE does not seem to offer any useful HTTP web page listing the latest packages. So modern 2 words "HTTP" "href matching pattern" approach does not seem to be an option. Moreover, some KDE packages have multiple watch lines as version=3 http://download.kde.org/unstable/plasma/([\d.]+)/kwin-([\d.]+)\.tar\.xz http://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/([\d.]+)/kwin-([\d.]+)\.tar\.xz Yes, version=3 works for multiple lines but this is awkward watch to use with uupdate etc. I would rather see: version=3 http://download.kde.org/(un)?stable/plasma/([\d.]+)/kwin-([\d.]+)\.tar\.xz Since it happens to be unstable >> stable, this work nicely for normal case but does not work for downloading the specific version. Just locking /([\d.]+)/ to a version may work for some case but kind of limited. The better solution is to look for all path and pick up all kwin-([\d.]+)\.tar\.xz URL and pick the highest package version. It may take more time but more robust. Problem is it seems to require a big rewrite. I could not see the patch on the web page so I am curious what was proposed. Regards, Osamu
