The string "<project>" needs to be updated to point to the actual name of the project; it's there as a template for you to complete, not as a token that uscan will automatically replace for you: version=4 opts=filenamemangle=s/.*\/archive\/(\d\S+)\/<project>.*\.tar\.gz/<project>- $1\.tar\.gz/g \ https://gitlab.com/lock042/spview/tags?sort=updated_desc .*/archive/ (\d\S+)/.*\.tar\.gz.* (This token often comes from a maintainer having started off with dh-make which is why lintian is talking about that tool; however, you could also end up copying strings like <project> from the wiki. It might be worth reporting a bug against lintian to consider that this boilerplate could come from places other than dh-make and that pointing to dh-make is potentially confusing.) There are some replaceable tokens you can use in d/watch -- they are of the form @PACKAGE@ (see uscan(1)). The watch file also doesn't currently work btw, as you've not taught uscan how to turn the Debianish version 2.0.0~beta1 into the gitlabish version 2.0.0- beta1 (~ vs -). You could add a versionmangle to handle that, similar to what is on the wiki for that purpose. https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch#Common_mistakes uversionmangle=s/(\d)[_\.\-\+]?((RC|rc|pre|dev|beta|alpha)\d*)$/$1~$2/ You can test your watch file with $ uscan --no-download --verbose (adding --debug for additional info, including all the HTML that it tried to parse) Stuart -- Stuart Prescott http://www.nanonanonano.net/ [email protected] Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ [email protected] GPG fingerprint 90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
