Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.35
Severity: normal
Please check the attached watch file. If I run it, it says:
Newest version on remote site is 0.0.21, local version is
.*/xmlto-([\d\.]+)\.tar\.bz2
Well, the so called "local version" is part of the watch file and not
part of debian/changelog. How can it be the _local_ version?
I'm not sure, if my pattern maybe catched a case, which is not yet
supported. In this case, please tell me. However, the local version
should not be poisoned by a part of the debian/watch file.
watch file is attached. Note, that
https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/browser/xmlto-0.0.21.tar.bz2 is not a
tarball - it's a HTML file, which contains the link to the tarball.

Ok. I really didn't expect this, so I did not look close enough into the manual
page. Thanks for that pointer.

Closing then. I guess, I can use a workaround with downloadurlmangle to make
the watch file work for me. Will see.
