Package: devscripts Version: 2.9.21 Severity: normal Hi,
Background: I'm maintaing a few aspell packages. Aspell have upstream version which contains a '-' sign in it. In the debian changelog we workaround that by changing the '-' to a '+' sign. So the package has version something like 1.0+0-1 or 0.9+0-2 (see aspell-he package) or 0.03+0-1 (see aspell-fa package). Problem: uscan doesn't know this workaround, and doesn't find the correct file in the scan. Example: $ uscan --verbose -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/fa/aspell6-fa-(.*)\.tar\.bz2 -- Found the following matching files: aspell6-fa-0.02-0.tar.bz2 aspell6-fa-0.03-0.tar.bz2 aspell6-fa-0.10-0.tar.bz2 Newest version on remote site is 0.10-0, local version is 0.10+0 => remote site does not even have current version -- Scan finished Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.17.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.13.22 package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.5-1 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii fakeroot 1.5.10 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
