When I upload my package contextfree to mentors.debian.net, in the QA information I get this: A watch file is present but doesn't work -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- Scan finished
My watch file looks like this: version=4 options="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.asc%,dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg[0-9]*//,repacksuffix=+dfsg1" \ https://www.contextfreeart.org/downloads.html \ download/ContextFreeSource([\d\.]+)\.tar\.xz debian When I run uscan on my system it works just fine. When I bumped the upstream version, uscan determined that local was stale, downloaded the new source version, downloaded and verified the gpg signature, and repackaged a new orig.tar.xz file. Subsequent runs of uscan determine that local was up-to-date but downloaded and verifies the gpg signature anyway. What check does mentors do that my watch file is failing? -- john ~/contextfree-3.0.11.4+dfsg1$ uscan -v uscan info: uscan (version 2.16.2ubuntu3) See uscan(1) for help uscan info: Scan watch files in . uscan info: Check debian/watch and debian/changelog in . uscan info: package="contextfree" version="3.0.11.4+dfsg1-1" (as seen in debian/changelog) uscan info: package="contextfree" version="3.0.11.4+dfsg1" (no epoch/revision) uscan info: ./debian/changelog sets package="contextfree" version="3.0.11.4+dfsg1" uscan info: Process ./debian/watch (package=contextfree version=3.0.11.4+dfsg1) uscan info: Found upstream signing keyring: debian/upstream/signing-key.asc uscan info: opts: pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.asc%,dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg[0-9]*//,repacksuffix=+dfsg1 uscan info: line: https://www.contextfreeart.org/downloads.html download/ContextFreeSource([\d\.]+)\.tar\.xz debian uscan info: Parsing pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.asc% uscan info: Parsing dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg[0-9]*// uscan info: Parsing repacksuffix=+dfsg1 uscan info: line: https://www.contextfreeart.org/downloads.html download/ContextFreeSource([\d\.]+)\.tar\.xz debian uscan info: Last orig.tar.* tarball version (from debian/changelog): 3.0.11.4+dfsg1 uscan info: Last orig.tar.* tarball version (dversionmangled): 3.0.11.4 uscan info: Requesting URL: https://www.contextfreeart.org/downloads.html uscan info: Matching pattern: (?:(?:https://www.contextfreeart.org )?\/downloads\.html)?download/ContextFreeSource([\d\.]+)\.tar\.xz uscan info: Found the following matching hrefs on the web page (newest first): download/ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz (3.0.11.4) index=3.0.11.4-4 uscan info: Matching target for downloadurlmangle: https://www.contextfreeart.org/download/ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz uscan info: Upstream URL (downloadurlmangled): https://www.contextfreeart.org/download/ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz uscan info: Newest upstream tarball version selected for download (uversionmangled): 3.0.11.4 uscan info: Download filename (filenamemangled): ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz uscan: Newest version of contextfree on remote site is 3.0.11.4, local version is 3.0.11.4+dfsg1 (mangled local version is 3.0.11.4) uscan info: => Package is up to date for from https://www.contextfreeart.org/download/ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz uscan info: Not downloading, using existing file: ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz uscan info: Downloading OpenPGP signature from https://www.contextfreeart.org/download/ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz.asc (pgpsigurlmangled) as ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz.pgp uscan info: Requesting URL: https://www.contextfreeart.org/download/ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz.asc uscan info: Verifying OpenPGP signature ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz.pgp for ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz gpgv: Signature made Tue 27 Jun 2017 07:25:54 PM PDT using RSA key ID F25D802B gpgv: Good signature from "John Horigan <j...@glyphic.com>" uscan info: New orig.tar.* tarball version (oversionmangled): 3.0.11.4 uscan info: Executing internal command: mk-origtargz --package contextfree --version 3.0.11.4 --repack-suffix +dfsg1 --compression gzip --directory .. --copyright-file debian/copyright ../ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz uscan info: New orig.tar.* tarball version (after mk-origtargz): 3.0.11.4+dfsg1 uscan info: Successfully repacked ../ContextFreeSource3.0.11.4.tar.xz as ../contextfree_3.0.11.4+dfsg1.orig.tar.xz, deleting 701 files from it. uscan info: Scan finished ~/contextfree-3.0.11.4+dfsg1$ echo $? 1 ~/contextfree-3.0.11.4+dfsg1$
