Package: devscripts
Version: 2.25.22
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have been testing debian-watch version 5 and found a problem related
to custom scripts usage. I see no mention of custom scripts in
debian-watch version 5 manpage.
I have browsed devscripts code and looking at
/usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Uscan/WatchSource.pm seems that internal
name for custom scripts is "updatescript", so I tried
Update-Script: debian/repack-local
in debian/watch version 5 and seems to work as I expected (updatescript
should have also worked). If no changes are expected, this should be
documented in debian-watch version 5 manpage as it was in debian-watch
version 4.
Regarding debian-watch-4.pod it indeed mentions custom scripts, although
a subsection in the orginal uscan manual was not included in
debian-watch-4.pod (but stays in uscan man page). It is not very
important, although I would consider adding a line of it with something
like attached patch.
Thanks for the work in devscripts and in particular for debian-watch
version 5.
Regards,
