See https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/71 The redirector githubredir is obsolete, because github allows uscan now. It's possible that githubredir is still documented in some versions of "man uscan".

Watch file warning from mentors website
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've got an issue with watch file usage in some software I'm trying to package ( https://mentors.debian.net/package/compton ). Upstream does not release tarballs, instead preferring packagers to build straight from git. I've followed the advice of the lintian report for debian-watch-file-is-missing, and created a watch file with a few comments explaining the situation. It looks like this: #version=3 #http://githubredir.debian.net/github/chjj/compton (.*).tar.gz # Upstream currently does not release tarballs or even tag releases, instead # preferring packagers to work straight from git. # When this situation improves, the watch lines above should work and this # comment block can be removed. See https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/71 This passes lintian fine locally, but when uploaded the mentors website complains that "A watch file is present but doesn't work" (see the link to my package above). Is there something I can fix in the watch file, or is the mentors website complaining unnecessarily? It seems strange that the website would complain while lintian does not. Thanks for any advice. - -- Regards, Scott Leggett. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRLF+NAAoJEHlzKPr+55fVQ7wP/3ITPLZkqFqIYAqem8Zn4RNp 7e7NKc2dK88BOhT0Nc0wPO/BfRzGvJD8hgOY1LfgpO7APHLKps5Wj/vhZgAAYCC8 TMeOt7zLVpcMh5/R3Q2JNP3RPbis16qJ+5bdQqySzb5e7AaZI+w38RO3YwM4n3TA 26cWCHG9mb2cyWhCNjgapqRFtZqi/ihYykrDCl0fVFT3xGtvGHJ1rzIIXmqQpAOs /QlX89awXQfgwAq14AgoONKKeeoSskxrvNpDYg3xLpuV+MgxypEAl/BcRXDXSglq rpBfwCm2DfxSp0imqcCCgUtX35GV0PtCVHKaxcqwYxLMF9hSViMbBmyLjH6eN/Zd 22edGbDdosfj/GQHrIHvJdR5EzoiC+bFmXsnzTj4n80iuNvkb6gXWlZOlCt4/o4k ihvHYfJrHAuhfPMntuYJ0FY4WJBBmIaoqzPTM+sx1fslD/n3EQ/Ph80rEAQuKHQY Cah60wJhS7gw+8slkkjbreGetr+9hvbaG4S3fxQRAFqOFLlhl7tKnvgBz1mcFr08 2t/rVxEnnHGBrqgPSicApiUBaw6e0wBb0GVfc1VjFg4Nldm/OVXq5HfevMrWZl/M 9TlsA2nk/11xdf9/fO1DqGQnpQ2KSjdKqUx/mBq/ZrnOVnabNtbKutUENyzk0yZV cmSSqiwDEqENgiHx38r2 =Xvnb -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

New policy versions are announced on debian-devel-announce [1]. Not sure, where new compat-level is announced. Now you can find the current version in "maint-guide" [2].
