Your interpretation appear to be correct. Anyway, I don't think uscan actually recognizes the \1 notation: if I use the watch file you posted in the bug report, uscan says: > $ uscan --report --dehs > <dehs> > <package>openttd</package> > <debian-uversion>1.1.2</debian-uversion> > <debian-mangled-uversion>1.1.2</debian-mangled-uversion> > <upstream-version>1.1.2</upstream-version> > <upstream-url>1/openttd-1-source.tar.gz</upstream-url> > <status>up to date</status> > </dehs> which is exactly your problem. Also, the scripts behind the QA pages actually call uscan to do the parsing. BTW, the debian/watch that is in unstable now uses the $1 notation, so fixes this problem. Anyway, there is another subtle bug: > $ uscan --report --dehs > <dehs> > <package>openttd</package> > <debian-uversion>1.1.2</debian-uversion> > <debian-mangled-uversion>1.1.2</debian-mangled-uversion> > <upstream-version>1.1.2</upstream-version> > <upstream-url>http://master.binaries.openttd.org/releases/1.1.2/openttd-http://master.binaries.openttd.org/releases/1.1.2-source.tar.gz</upstream-url> > <status>up to date</status> > </dehs> As you may see, the download URL is incorrect, because the mangling wrongly matches on the whole URL, not only the version number. The problem can be fixed with somewhat like this (you can use | instead of / for separating substitution fields, so you have less escaping work to do): options=downloadurlmangle=s|([^/]*)/index.html$|$1/openttd-$1-source.tar.gz| \ http://master.binaries.openttd.org/releases/ \ (\d+(?:\.\d+)*)/index.html Hope this helps. > I'm not sure if this is a bug in my watchfile, or that qa.debian.org > should support this, though.

I don't think this is a bug in QA scripts, because it actually depends on uscan. You should probably file a whishlist bug against uscan asking for the \1 notation to be supported or, at least, to have some documentation somewhere about this decision. Please, let me know your comments if you have any. Otherwise, I'll close the report.
