--- Begin Message ---Package: devscripts Version: 2.17.8 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/uscan When invoking the update script, uscan contains code that differ depending on the script name, ie "uupdate" or something else. It is a problem when you want to run a script to workaround a problem in the tarball but then run uupdate. For example, I tried: * in debian/watch ... debian debian/uupdate * in debian/uupdate #!/bin/bash ... exec uupdate "$@" => it fails because the "debian/uupdate" script is not invoked with the same options that would be used with the "uupdate" script. In uscan, the offending lines are near the 3800 line: if ($cmd[0] eq "uupdate") { push @cmd, "-f"; ... Why this hard-coded test? If you do not want to break backward compatibility, can you add an uscan option (uupdate-options=true?) that the maintainer can add in debian/watch so that the provided update script is run with the same parameters the uupdate script would be?

--- Begin Message ---Hi, v4 watch file calling "uupdate -f" when it has uupdate is documented in the manpage. uupdate may be swerving v3 watch file. So -f is needed to tell it is calling with -f option. I wanted to keep watch file looks the same. If you write local script, you need to set its parameter right. * in debian/uupdate #!/bin/bash ... exec uupdate -f "$@" I don't think its a bug. (Ugly, yes. That's legacy) Osamu
