Package: gem2deb Version: 2.2.6 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** While updating ruby-mdl/markdownlint, I noticed current gem2deb creates a watch file which is in sync with watch [documentation] (last modified 2025-08-31 19:44:00), i.e. ``` version=4 https://gemwatch.debian.net/mdl .*/mdl-(.*).tar.gz # Use the regex below for github-based sources # opts=uversionmangle=s/[_.+-]?(rc|pre|dev|beta|alpha|b|a)/~$1/i,\ # filenamemangle=s%(?:.+/)?v?@ANY_VERSION@(@ARCHIVE_EXT@)%@PACKAGE@-$1$2% \ # https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/tags .*/v?@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ ``` which so far was functional, too. However, by the command of ```bash uscan --update-watchfile ``` (with uscan version 2.25.28) the file is overwritten, incremented by one and of slightly different syntax: ``` Version: 5 Source: https://gemwatch.debian.net/mdl Matching-Pattern: .*/mdl-(.*).tar.gz ``` I interpret the reports by `lintian` of a newly assembled .deb, as well as by running ```bash uscan --no-download --verbose --debug ``` with either version of the watch file as if the newer version 5 were preferred. My question: if version 5 is new standard to adhere to, will future versions of `gem2deb` write the watch file right in this pattern? -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.9.10-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gem2deb depends on: ii debhelper [debhelper-compat] 13.28 ii gem2deb-test-runner 2.2.6 ii perl 5.40.1-7 ii rake 13.2.1-1 ii ruby 1:3.3+b1 ii ruby-all-dev 1:3.3+b1 Versions of packages gem2deb recommends: ii apt-file 3.3 ii build-essential 12.12 ii debian-policy 4.7.2.0 ii devscripts 2.25.28 ii python3-debian 1.0.1 Versions of packages gem2deb suggests: ii git-buildpackage 0.9.39 ii pristine-tar 1.50+nmu2 -- no debconf information
