So I am building the
get-oring thingy and was first looking why 0.98.4 isn't reported
properly. The reason is that it is missing on HEAnet mirror server which
is the source for the database at the [1] link you posted. I dropped
HEAnet an email asking wtf.

Other Debian packages have the same problem and the HEAnet operators have
already been informed [0].
It turns out it was never guaranteed to work correctly.

Ah. great. So sf.net is a pain and it is getting better and better every
day. We could wait and hope that the next release makes it to HEAnet and
just ignore it for now. Option two would be that I could come up with a
script that parses clamav.net and creates a page for uscan on breakpoint.cc.
Idea three which could be the one where the least amount is incuded: we switch
to github based tags (as the uscan man pages suggests).
I am in favour of the last one right now.

Indeed, as the sf.net page doesn't work currently, I switched the watch file now to github.com. The downsides are:
 * larger tarball containing more win32 and contrib files
 * no automatic verification of signatures, as the github tarballs
   aren't signed
When/If sf.net works again, we can switch back.

I added a Files-Excluded field to debian/copyright so that uscan automatically removes a lot of useless files. The split-tarball.sh script is still needed to extract libclamunrar.

Best regards,
Andreas
