This is regarding the debian/watch issue but I am directing it here because that bug [1] was merged into this one [2].

I did some more investigation (since none of the dojo bugs have had any followup recently except from me) and found that the archive I manually downloaded was the wrong one. Investigating further I found that the error being seen when the current debian/watch is used is coming up because the uscan process is not checking in the subdirectories of the download page and is therefore not finding the correct archive. (Why it is then trying the 'shrinksafe' archive which although still being referenced is no longer available, is unclear to me.) Further, what I found is that a change to the debian/watch file by the then maintainer (who, btw, took himself out of the Uploaders list with the most recent upload) has had the effect of no longer doing the upstream search correctly and therefore not being able to find the correct new upstream archive. The difference appearing to be changing "/release-([\d\.]*)/" to "/release-(\d.*)/" in the URL template part the command, apparently intended to "Support development versions" according to the 1.11.0~rc3+dfsg-1 debian/changelog where the change appears to have taken place. Adding those square brackets back in allows it to correctly find and then repack the correct new version of the archive. -- Robert J.
