Bug#340892: libbonobo: debian/watch file seems bound to GNOME 2.8.x, though current package is for 2.10.1, and upstream is at 2.13.0

Package: libbonobo
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


The existing debian/watch file for libbonobo seems to be capable of
only detecting libbonobo versions 2.8.x.  Given that the current
version of libbonobo in debian is 2.10.1, and the current released
version from GNOME is 2.13.0, the existing watchfile isn't very
useful.

The following watchfile should work for any released version of
libbonobo (i borrowed the regex of this watchfile from zenity's
debian/watch):

[dkg at squeak libbonobo]$ cat debian/watch
version=3
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libbonobo/([\d\.]+)/libbonobo-([\d\.]+)\.tar\.gz debian uupdate
[dkg at squeak libbonobo]$ 

Thanks for maintaining this package!
