Hi all, I have a package "mn-fit" whose upstream puts underscores in the program version, as in "5_12". For Debian packaging I turn these into periods, as in "5.12". A little-known feature of uscan lets me deal with this automatically for new upstream releases by permitting two separate parenthesized expressions that are then joined by a period. (My knowledge of this trick is thanks to Niv Altivanik, http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/04/msg00188.html ) My debian/watch is:
version=2 http://www-zeus.physik.uni-bonn.de/~brock/mn_fit/tar/ \ v[0-9_]*/mn_fit_v([0-9]*)_([0-9]*)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate The problem is that the Watch Wizard doesn't understand this syntax - I guess it just ignores the second set of parentheses - and thinks the upstream version is 5, not 5_12 or 5.12. See for instance http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/maintainer.php?name=mn-fit Possibly related is that said web page also has a problem with "Debian Version"; it is listed as 5.12 but should actually be 5.12-1. I suppose this is why the "Copyright" link on that page is broken. Whom should I contact about these bugs? regards, -- Kevin B.
