Hi Jaromír,

Yes, that was probably my fault, the upstream release name is 1.6-beta2.

I archived it from a local clone of https://github.com/xwax/xwax/ but on
http://xwax.org/download.html version 1.5 is shown as the latest.

The beta cycle is very long for xwax, so it makes sense that Debian
packaged the beta1 release already.

> Let's fix watch file first to new location of releases.

I've done that in:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/xwax.git/commit/?id=ee27698b3abfed1810e0a245d687d7f9e021bfa1

uscan works, but there is a slight discrepancy because of the tilde in
the Debian version:

$ uscan --report-status
Processing watchfile line for package xwax...
Newest version on remote site is 1.6-beta2, local version is 1.6~beta2
xwax: Newer version (1.6-beta2) available on remote site:
  https://github.com/xwax/xwax/archive/1.6-beta2.zip
  (local version is 1.6~beta2)

Cheers!

Daniel
