Help with watch file -- pre-release upstream versions

Hi mentors,

What's the usual way of handling "preX" upstream version numbers in
watch files? I'm having trouble because uscan considers 1.0pre3 newer
than 1.0.

Thanks,

Perhaps mangling the upstream version to use the tilde ("~") as a
separator? But I don't really know if uscan even recognizes it...

Thanks to all, it works this way.

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
