Package: devscripts
Hi.
I am behind a fascist firewall that only allows pasv ftp connections and
I tried to run uscan with a package that I was trying to debug.
Unfortunately, it took me a long time to discover the cause of the
problem, because, even when I used the debug option, it told me that the
regular expression could not be matched and, therefore, I started
looking for a broken expression.
IMVHO, uscan (and siblings) using perl's library should
die/carp/whatever before going to the regexp matching phase if the page
could not be downloaded or if it returned a 0-lenght reply.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
