You can remove them since I put the separate watch files in svn, but I'll remove them now. Note however that besides adding ~ before beta there are more relevant changes : - escaping the dots in the file extension (.tar.gz should be \.tar\.gz) - more file extensions (not only gz but also bz2 and xz) - less strict version pattern ([\d.]*[a-z]*\d* should be \d\S*) Regards, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
