Package: devscripts Version: 2.23.7 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
uscan doesn't seem to support archive without compression, e.g. "*.tar" archive. For example, archives in GNU ELPA (Emacs Lisp Package Archive) uses uncompressed tar files for release. Given a watch file like below ,---- | version=4 | https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/oauth2.html \ | oauth2@ANY_VERSION@\.tar.* debian `---- Running "uscan --force-download" results in the following error: ,---- | $ uscan --force-download | uscan warn: Possible OpenPGP signature found at: | https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/oauth2-0.17.tar.sig | * Add opts=pgpsigurlmangle=s/$/.sig/ or opts=pgpmode=auto to debian/watch | * Add debian/upstream/signing-key.asc. | See uscan(1) for more details | uscan: error: tar is not a supported compression `---- It would be great if uscan can support uncompressed archives. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-25-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.21.22 ii fakeroot 1.31-1.2 ii file 1:5.44-3 ii gnupg 2.2.40-1.1 ii gpgv 2.2.40-1.1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u8 ii libfile-dirlist-perl 0.05-3 ii libfile-homedir-perl 1.006-2 ii libfile-touch-perl 0.12-2 ii libfile-which-perl 1.27-2 ii libipc-run-perl 20220807.0-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.005005-1 ii libwww-perl 6.68-1 ii patchutils 0.4.2-1 ii perl 5.36.0-7+deb12u1 ii python3 3.11.2-1+b1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.17+nmu1 ii wdiff 1.2.2-5 Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii apt 2.6.1 ii curl 7.88.1-10+deb12u7 ii dctrl-tools 2.24-3+b1 ii debian-keyring 2022.12.24 ii dput 1.1.3 ii equivs 2.3.1 ii libdistro-info-perl 1.5+deb12u1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.21.22 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.05-3 ii libgit-wrapper-perl 0.048-2 ii libgitlab-api-v4-perl 0.26-3 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.55-2 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.10-1 ii libsoap-lite-perl 1.27-3 ii libstring-shellquote-perl 1.04-3 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.31-2 ii liburi-perl 5.17-1 ii licensecheck 3.3.5-1 ii lintian 2.116.3 ii man-db 2.11.2-2 ii patch 2.7.6-7 ii pristine-tar 1.50 ii python3-apt 2.6.0 ii python3-debian 0.1.49 ii python3-magic 2:0.4.26-3 ii python3-requests 2.28.1+dfsg-1 ii python3-unidiff 0.7.3-1 ii python3-xdg 0.28-2 ii strace 6.1-0.1 ii unzip 6.0-28 ii wget 1.21.3-1+b2 ii xz-utils 5.4.1-0.2 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii adequate 0.15.9~deb12u1 ii at 3.2.5-1+b1 ii autopkgtest 5.28 pn bls-standalone <none> ii build-essential 12.9 pn check-all-the-things <none> pn cvs-buildpackage <none> ii debhelper 13.11.4 pn diffoscope <none> pn disorderfs <none> pn dose-extra <none> pn duck <none> ii elpa-devscripts 40.5 pn faketime <none> ii gnuplot-nox [gnuplot] 5.4.4+dfsg1-2+b2 pn how-can-i-help <none> ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1600-3 pn libdbd-pg-perl <none> ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.22-3 pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 2.3300-2 pn libyaml-syck-perl <none> ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.15-4 pn mmdebstrap <none> pn mozilla-devscripts <none> pn mutt <none> ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3 ii piuparts 1.1.7 ii postgresql-client 15+248 ii postgresql-client-15 [postgresql-client] 15.8-0+deb12u1 pn pristine-lfs <none> ii quilt 0.67+really0.66-1 pn ratt <none> pn reprotest <none> pn svn-buildpackage <none> ii w3m 0.5.3+git20230121-2 -- no debconf information -- Xiyue Deng
