Hi,

 I want you to implement redirector for https://osdn.net download.
 OSDN (formerly known as sourceforge.jp) is a code hosting site,
 I and some developers packaged some sources from there.

 They sometimes changes download way to reduce download access
 by preventing bot, so debian/watch file is complicated and it
 annoyed us. Implementing redirector in qa.debian.org would improve
 this situation.

 Newest debian/watch file for fonts-sawarabi-mincho is below, please
 let me know how to do that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
version=4

opts="uversionmangle=s/-beta/~beta/;s/-rc/~rc/;s/-preview/~preview/, \
pagemangle=s%<osdn:file url="([^<]*)</osdn:file>%<a href="$1">$1</a>%g, \
downloadurlmangle=s%projects/sawarabi-fonts/downloads%frs/redir\.php?m=iij&f=sawarabi-fonts%g;s/xz\//xz/" \
https://osdn.net/projects/sawarabi-fonts/releases/rss \
https://osdn.net/projects/sawarabi-fonts/downloads/.*/sawarabi-mincho@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@/ debian uupdate

How many packages would use such redirector?

Please provide a patch for https://salsa.debian.org/qa/qa/blob/master/cgi-bin/fakeupstream.cgi
Keeping in mind you'll have to update it whenever osdn.net decide to
change format again.

 Around 30

 Thanks, I'll look into it.

Hallo,

Ich habe dir eine Mail geschickt, aber keine Antwort von dir, warum?
