I think your approach to the debian/watch file is sort of off, which explains why it isn't working. You want to point it to a webpage where it can get hrefs that match the given regular expression, so you want the website to actually be specified as download_stable.shtml. Something like this basically works and can be fine-tuned with a better match for the source package:
version=3 http://www.xevil.com/xevil/dev/2.02r2/download_stable.shtml \ (.*)\.zip This complains about the version name but at least works: -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line: http://www.xevil.com/xevil/dev/2.02r2/download_stable.shtml (.*)\.zip -- Found the following matching hrefs: http://www.xevil.com/download/stable/xevilsrc2.02r2.zip dpkg: version 'http://www.xevil.com/download/stable/xevilsrc2.02r2' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number Newest version on remote site is http://www.xevil.com/download/stable/xevilsrc2.02r2, local version is 2.02r2 dpkg: version 'http://www.xevil.com/download/stable/xevilsrc2.02r2' has bad syntax: epoch in version is not number => Newer version available from http://www.xevil.com/download/stable/xevilsrc2.02r2.zip -- Downloading updated package xevilsrc2.02r2.zip -- Successfully downloaded updated package xevilsrc2.02r2.zip -- Scan finished Cheers, Daniel Moerner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
