Dear maintainer,

I notice that the watchfile used in the gap pacakge is very simple and
doesn't really do anything about the different versioning used between
upstream and debian.

For this, I'm proposing here a line that would make uscan correctly
compare the versions, mangling the debian version to change the 'r' and
'p' into dots.

version=3
options=dversionmangle=s/(\d+)r(\d+)p(\d+)/$1.$2.$3/ \
https://www.gap-system.org/pub/gap/gap4core/gap-(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)-core.zip debian

I haven't changed anything, just added the line in the middle doing the
mangling.


Hope this can be of use.
