I wonder, if the new file release system doesn't ease the whole thing? If I check https://sourceforge.net/projects/$(project)/files/ I cannot see, why we need this mirror-based search system(?). The page itself lets us search for tarballs fitting the regex and we only need to rewrite the download location (and could even use!) downloads.sourceforge.net/project/$(tarball) A watch file can simply use this: version=3 https://sourceforge.net/projects/bluefish/files/ .*bluefish-unstable-([\d\.]+).tar.gz/download The only thing is, that I have to fix the filename from "download" being "$(package)-$(version).tar.gz". IMHO uscan should be able to easily do this itself, when using http://sf.net/bluefish/bluefish-unstable-([\d\.]+).tar.gz as URL. SF is AFAIK still working on the relrease system, so things might still change, but the new system looks much easier to handle for us(?).
