Package: devscripts
Version: 2.9.25
Severity: normal

Following the advice here:
http://roland.entierement.nu/blog/2005/04/28/debianwatch-vs-sfnet.html

I added this is debian/watch:
version=3
http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php?project=gnomeicu gnomeicu-([\d.]*).tar.gz

uscan --report works very well and detects the new upstream upstream
version. But when I try to download the archive it fails because it tries
to download the file from qa.debian.org/watch/ instead of the site where
this URL redirects to.

$ uscan
gnomeicu: Newer version (0.99.12) available on remote site:
  http://qa.debian.org/watch/gnomeicu-0.99.12.tar.gz
  (local version is 0.99.10)
uscan warning: In directory ., downloading
  http://qa.debian.org/watch/gnomeicu-0.99.12.tar.gz failed: 404 Not Found

It would be nice to try to download from the redirected URL if it appears that 
the
reference URL is a redirect.

Using the version described in the uscan(1) manpage (namely:
http://sf.net/gnomeicu/ gnomeicu-([\d.]*)\.tar\.gz ) works.

Closing this report.
