Hi, When migrating some packages to use watch-format 5 with minimal settings, I noticed that uscan fails to find the match if the upstream name part has digits, like with libx11: https://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/libX11-1.8.13.tar.xz (11-1.8.13) index=11-1.8.13-4 the only remedy I can see is to set "Matching-Pattern: libX11-...", which is a bit lame as the same file can then not be used on all the xorg libs. t
Hi, Timo, What v5 watch file are you using? Using simple Source: https://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/ Matching-Pattern: libX11-(.*)\.tar\.gz Pgp-Sig-Url-Mangle: s/$/.sig/ --- <8 --- works here. Using Matching-Pattern is expected unless there is a template for a given repo and I think using @PACKAGE@ instead of actual package name will only work if there is no case mismatch between Debian and upstream names.
