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

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Hello--

Thanks for the quick reply!  i understand about not wanting to release
a development version into debian.  i'm still a bit confused about
GNOME versioning, i suppose, since some GNOME projects appear to be
stable at odd minor numbers (e.g. gnumeric is in debian at 1.5.90
right now).  But you obviously know best about which versions of
libbonobo you feel comfortable releasing.

It looks to me like this watchfile is only going to track versions up
through x.8 (meaning it will miss 2.10, 2.12, etc).  Also, i find that
gnome's ftp server is much much slower than the http server.  The
following watchfile should solve these two problems:

version=3
 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libbonobo/([\d\.]+)[02468]/libbonobo-(.*)\.tar\.gz \
	debian uupdate

Thanks for maintaining this for debian!
