IMO you have two options: 1) Ignore the pre-versions by a rule like http://domain.tld/foobar-([\d.]+)\.tar\.gz if you are not going to package pre-releases. This will exclude all versions including a "pre" term after the version number. 2) Use a uversionsmnagle: opts=uversinmangle=s/pre/~pre/ \ http://domain.tld/foobar-(.+)\.tar\.gz Regards, Daniel
