I finally decided to try out uscan and those debian/watch files, but I can't get it to work:
$ more /opt/gri/src/deb/2.2.1/gri-2.2.1/debian/watch # Example watch control file for uscan # Rename this file to "watch" and then you can run the "uscan" command # to check for upstream updates and more. # Site Directory Pattern Version Script ftp.phys.ocean.dal.ca users/kelley/gri/ gri-*.tgz debian uupdate $ uscan /opt/gri/src/deb/2.2.1/gri-2.2.1/ -- Scanning for watchfiles in /opt/gri/src/deb/2.2.1/gri-2.2.1/ -- Found watchfile in /opt/gri/src/deb/2.2.1/gri-2.2.1 No match on site ftp.phys.ocean.dal.ca pattern gri-*.tgz -- Scan finished The uscan program is returning so quickly with it's answer that I know it's not attempting to log in correctly, and also the file ftp://ftp.phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/kelley/gri/gri-2.2.3.tgz exists. It also tried watch like: ftp.phys.ocean.dal.ca /users/kelley/gri gri-*.tgz debian uupdate ftp.phys.ocean.dal.ca users/kelley/gri gri-*.tgz debian uupdate Am I doing something obviously wrong?
