Latest uscan gives wrong result when d/watch tracks HEAD of a remote repository. > * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or > ineffective)? As an example of emacs-dart-mode, both the v4 and v5 d/watch that tracks HEAD gives the wrong result. v4: ,---- | version=4 | opts="mode=git, pgpmode=none, pretty=1.0.7+git%cd.%h" \ | https://github.com/emacsorphanage/dart-mode \ | HEAD debian uupdate `---- v5: ,---- | Version: 5 | | Source: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/dart-mode | Matching-Pattern: HEAD | Mode: git | Pgp-Mode: none | Pretty: 1.0.7+git%cd.%h `---- The following is from the output of `uscan --report-status`: ,---- | $ uscan --report-status | uscan info: Scan watch files in . | uscan info: Check debian/watch and debian/changelog in . | uscan info: package="emacs-dart-mode" version="1.0.7+git20250811.edb45cb-1" (as | seen in debian/changelog) | uscan info: package="emacs-dart-mode" version="1.0.7+git20250811.edb45cb" (no ep | och/revision) | uscan info: ./debian/changelog sets package="emacs-dart-mode" version="1.0.7+git | 20250811.edb45cb" | uscan info: Process watch file at: debian/watch | package = emacs-dart-mode | version = 1.0.7+git20250811.edb45cb | pkg_dir = . | uscan info: Parsing gitpretty: 1.0.7+git%cd.%h | uscan info: Parsing mode: git | uscan info: Parsing pgpmode: none | uscan info: Last orig.tar.* tarball version (from debian/changelog): 1.0.7+git20 | 250811.edb45cb | uscan info: Last orig.tar.* tarball version (dversionmangled): 1.0.7+git20250811 | .edb45cb | uscan warn: Using upstreamvcs remote origin | uscan info: Looking at $base = https://github.com/emacsorphanage/dart-mod | e with | $filepattern = HEAD found | $newfile = HEAD | $mangled_newversion = 1.0.7+git20251110.ca232ba | $newversion = 1.0.7+git20251110.ca232ba | $lastversion = 1.0.7+git20250811.edb45cb | uscan info: Upstream URL(+tag) to download is identified as https://github.co | m/emacsorphanage/dart-mode HEAD | uscan info: Filename (filenamemangled) for downloaded file: emacs-dart-mode-1.0. | 7+git20251110.ca232ba.tar.xz | Newest version of emacs-dart-mode on remote site is 1.0.7+git20251110.ca232ba, l | ocal version is 1.0.7+git20250811.edb45cb | => Newer package available from: | => https://github.com/emacsorphanage/dart-mode HEAD | uscan info: Scan finished `---- Note that it reports the newversion as `1.0.7+git20251110.ca232ba', but the actual latest commit of upstreamvcs happened on `Tue Nov 4 21:43:39 2025 -0800', and the latest commit hash should be 22288d0, so the correct version string should be `1.0.7+git20251105.22288d0'. And as a matter of fact, the qa.debian.org page reports the correct version string[1], suggesting that some previous version of uscan was working correctly. > * What was the outcome of this action? On closer inspect, `ca232ba' is actually the latest commit of my debian/latest branch on Salsa. So it looks like when tracking HEAD, uscan is using my `debian/latest' branch instead of the remote branch for getting the latest commit time and hash. > * What outcome did you expect instead? > Restoring the previous correct behavior would be great. As this would generate the wrong version string and potentially wrong packaging, I'm setting the severity as important.
