Need help for watch file

Hi, to enable properly downloading the volview sources I tried the following watch file: version=3 opts=\ dversionmangle=s/[~\+]dfsg//,\ downloadurlmangle=s/VolView-([\d\.]+)-Linux-x86_64.sh/VolViewSrc.tar.gz/,\ filenamemangle=s/VolView(-[\d\.]+)-Linux-x86_64.sh/VolViewSrc$1.tar.gz/ \

Hi, the watch file for the mriconvert package[1] is obviosely not working because http://lcni.uoregon.edu/~jolinda/MRIConvert/ upstream does not mind numbering its mriconvert_sources.zip sources. However, there should be some chance to drain the current version from other files on this page.

This is a good starting point. Using filenamemangle anddownloadurlmangle you can use the above for a working watch file. Iattached it. As long as upstreams stays with this scheme (besides it isa dead project), this should work. Thank you for the watch file, Daniel. My primary machine is
