Hello, The watchfile looks perfectly fine: version=3 opts=uversionmangle=s/(\d)[_\.\-\+]?((RC|rc|pre|dev|BETA|beta|alpha|b|a)[\-\.]?\d*)$/$1~$2/ \ http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/vpcs/vpcs-(\d.*)-(?:src|source)\.(?:tgz|tbz|tbz2|txz|tar\.(?:gz|bz2|xz)) It looks at the upstream version, sees "0.5b0" and mangles it into a version number that sorts properly in debian, "0.5~b0". cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
