[Debian-med-packaging] acedb: Another watch file issue for ftp site

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

the source location of acedb has changed.  I tried to fix the watch file as:

version=4
opts=passive \
   ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/acedb/SUPPORTED/ACEDB-source\.([0-9.]+)\.tar\.gz


but this results in:


$ uscan --verbose
uscan info: uscan (version 2.16.10) See uscan(1) for help

What does this 404 error mean and how to work around this?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
