-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I want to present a slightly different usecase for this bug in the hope that you will consider reopening it. With this issue open, uscan cannot retrieve older (not current) upstream releases of packages where they are stored in a subdirectory-per-release layout, see [0] for my specific example with the watchfile line [1]. We are trying to create a script for the pkg-haskell team which downloads a source package as specified in our VCS repository. This may not necessarily be the latest upstream version and additionally may not be uploaded to Debian so could not be available on the archive mirrors either. This script works by calling uscan with --download-version. Perhaps a solution is to cause --download-version to descend into the specified directory if it exists instead of always selecting the newest one. This could be a separate feature request, then? I hope you will consider implementing this feature.
