You need to use "opts=mode=git, ...", see the man page of uscan.
Are you sure.
Of course I'm sure, I've tested the snippets before posting it on the
list. Did you test this on your side and have any issues?
For example this watch file do not use "opts="
https://sources.debian.org/src/backintime/1.4.3-1/debian/watch/
You need to ask the person that did probably this creation or
modification. I can't answering this.
Also some examples on the wikipage about "debian/watch" do not use
"opts=".
You seems to expect that the wiki is all known and answering place. No,
that is this not. It's by nature always "outdated". But it's a wiki,
everyone can edit it.
Please be aware that I don't only want to solve one technical problem
with one specific package. I want to understand the whole thing ("big
picture") to improve the documentation.
Well, that's not that complicated for uscan, it does mainly one thing
(which is done in multiple steps, have a look into the man page), it's
scanning upstream resources, fetching data and creates an tarball ready
for importing.
opts="mode=git, \
uversionmangle=s/(\d)[_\.\-\+]?((RC|rc|pre|dev|beta|alpha)\.?\d*)$/$1~$2/,
\ dversionmangle=s/\+ds(\.?\d+)?$//" \
https://codeberg.org/buhtz/hyperorg.git \
refs/tags/v(\d+\S+)
And uscan will find the most recent version matching the regexp.
I see 3 different regex patterns in this line. Why?
I see one that is relevant to your original question. The other two you
mean are used in other "opts" variables, these variable are also
explained too in the man page of uscan.
