Package: devscripts Version: 2.25.27 Severity: normal Hi!
While converting some packages to use the new watch format 5, I noticed what seems to be a regression, or where the documentation is not clear or misleading. With the following watch file for the pci.ids source package: ,--- Version: 5 Source: https://github.com/pciutils/pciids Mode: git Matching-Pattern: HEAD Git-Date: %Y.%m.%d Git-Pretty: 0.0~%cd Pgp-Mode: none `--- Running «uscan» does not execute uupdate. Explicitly telling uscan to use uupdate at the end restores the previous behavior: ,--- Version: 5 Source: https://github.com/pciutils/pciids Mode: git Matching-Pattern: HEAD Git-Date: %Y.%m.%d Git-Pretty: 0.0~%cd Pgp-Mode: none Update-Script: uupdate `--- According to the debian-watch(5) man page, it states: ,--- • Update-Script: <custom-script>: This optional line in debian/watch means to execute custom-script with appropriate arguments provided by uscan. Default script is uupdate and custom scripts, if created, should behave as if uupdate. See "Custom script" in uscan for more details on custom scripts and "HISTORY AND UPGRADING" in uscan for how uscan invokes the custom script (or uupdate). `--- Which seems to be clear on «uupdate» being the default. Thanks, Guillem
