Package: devscripts Version: 2.26.9 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/uscan Hi,
I've tried to update the following watch file version=4 opts="searchmode=plain" \ https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/releases \ https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/releases/download/udisks-(?:\d[\d.]*)/udisks@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ using the new, template based approach in version 5: When running uscan with the old, v4 based watch file, I get: ... $base = https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/releases $filepattern = https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/releases/download/udisks-(?:\d[\d.]*)/udisks(?:[-_]?[Vv]?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*))(?i)(?:\.(?:tar\.xz|tar\.bz2|tar\.gz|tar\.zstd?|zip|tgz|tbz|txz)) $newfile = https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/releases/download/udisks-2.11.1/udisks-2.11.1.tar.bz2 $mangled_newversion = 2.11.1 $newversion = 2.11.1 $lastversion = 2.11.1 uscan info: Matching target for downloadurlmangle: https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/releases/download/udisks-2.11.1/udisks-2.11.1.tar.bz2 uscan info: Upstream URL(+tag) to download is identified as https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/releases/download/udisks-2.11.1/udisks-2.11.1.tar.bz2 uscan info: Filename (filenamemangled) for downloaded file: udisks-2.11.1.tar.bz2 uscan info: Newest version of udisks2 on remote site is 2.11.1, local version is 2.11.1 uscan info: => Package is up to date from: => https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/releases/download/udisks-2.11.1/udisks-2.11.1.tar.bz2 I.e., it prefers the strongest compression it finds. In this case bz2 In contrast, v5 produces: $base = https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/releases $filepattern = https://api.github.com/repos/[^/]+/[^/]+/tarball/(?>[^/]+(?<=(?:\D|alpha|beta|rc))\-)?(?:[-_]?[Vv]?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*))(?:(?=")|$) $newfile = https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/tarball/udisks-2.11.1 $mangled_newversion = 2.11.1 $newversion = 2.11.1 $lastversion = 2.11.1 uscan info: Matching target for downloadurlmangle: https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/tarball/udisks-2.11.1 uscan info: Upstream URL(+tag) to download is identified as https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/tarball/udisks-2.11.1 uscan info: Matching target for filenamemangle: https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/tarball/udisks-2.11.1 uscan info: Filename (filenamemangled) for downloaded file: udisks2-2.11.1.tar.gz uscan info: Newest version of udisks2 on remote site is 2.11.1, local version is 2.11.1 uscan info: => Package is up to date from: => https://api.github.com/repos/storaged-project/udisks/tarball/udisks-2.11.1 So, v5 would download a .gz tarball. Is this a deliberate decision of v5? If so why? If not, could it be changed to behave more like @ARCHIVE_EXT@ in v4. Thanks for considering.
