[Pkg-javascript-devel] Help with watch file for jquery-lazyload

[Emilien Klein]

Hi team,

The following watch file is present for jquery-lazyload:

version=3
http://githubredir.debian.net/github/tuupola/jquery_lazyload
/(.+).tar.gz debian uupdate


When running uscan, I get the following error:

uscan warning: In debian/watch,
  no matching hrefs for watch line
  http://githubredir.debian.net/github/tuupola/jquery_lazyload /(.+).tar.gz


After reading the uscan manpage, I've fixed this by removing the /
before (.+).tar.gz
When running uscan again, the following is displayed:

dpkg: error: version
'http://github.com/tuupola/jquery_lazyload/archive/1.8.1' has bad
syntax: epoch in version is not number
dpkg: error: version

jquery-lazyload: Newer version
(http://github.com/tuupola/jquery_lazyload/archive/1.8.1) available on
remote site:
  http://github.com/tuupola/jquery_lazyload/archive/1.8.1.tar.gz
  (local version is 1.8.0)
jquery-lazyload: Successfully downloaded updated package 1.8.1.tar.gz
    and symlinked
jquery-lazyload_http://github.com/tuupola/jquery_lazyload/archive/1.8.1.orig.tar.gz
to it
/home/emilien/.devscripts: line 2: -I: command not found
uupdate: cannot read archive file
../jquery-lazyload_http://github.com/tuupola/jquery_lazyload/archive/1.8.1.orig.tar.gz!
 Aborting.


The file 1.8.1.tar.gz is downloaded in .., but uupdate is not able to continue.

Question: should I start fiddling with the filenamemangle option, or
is there some other solution? I'm asking because the watchfile used to
work properly, but now for some reason it doesn't anymore...

FYI, here the steps to reproduce:
$ git clone ssh://<user>@git.debian.org/git/pkg-javascript/jquery-lazyload.git
$ cd jquery-lazyload
$ uscan

Thanks,
   +Emilien
