By chance I ran into another watch file problem: version=3 http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/qvalue.html \ ../src/contrib/qvalue_([\d\.]+)\.tar\.gz runs into -- Downloading updated package qvalue_1.30.0.tar.gz uscan warning: In directory ., downloading http://www.bioconductor.org/../src/contrib/qvalue_1.30.0.tar.gz failed: 400 Bad Request Upstream hides their source directory somehow and a wget http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/src/contrib/qvalue_1.30.0.tar.gz ends up in 404 (so even if the relative URL would be properly resolved a download might fail). So while we at least can find out the proper new version number it requires manual download. Any idea?
