[Bug 231797] Re: no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs (no simple url-and-link list of all downloads)
The workaround doesn't work for Curtis' case - that there are many releases. This has now happened for https://launchpad.net/juju-core/+download. 1.20 doesn't show up on the first page. The following watch file fails to find it. So the workaround is not valid in a real use case now, AFAICT. version=3 opts="uversionmangle=s/-/./" \ https://launchpad.net/juju-core/+download https://launchpad.net/juju-core/.*/.*/.*/juju-core_(.*)\.tar\.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231797 Title: no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs (no simple url-and-link list of all downloads) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/231797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As there is a workaround, and this is not currently in any of the LP roadmap things, I'm downgrading to low. ** Summary changed: - provide url-and-link list of downloads for uscan + no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs (no simple url-and-link list of all downloads) ** Changed in: launchpad Importance: High => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231797 Title: no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs (no simple url-and-link list of all downloads) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/231797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 231797] Re: no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs
I think we want provide a specific URL to support debian/watch and possibly include a callout to it on the +download page. The +download page does not guarantee that the highest version number listed first and it may not appear on the first page of the batched listing. +watch would list all released from highest version to least. I think releases from obsolete series should be excluded. The page may not be very readable, though it may work more like +download used to be before a dozen voices extended its purpose. -- no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If it's going to be documented, why not: a) add a shortcut for "lp.net", similar to "sf.net" ? or b) make a subdomain with the directory listing readable, e.g. http://files.launchpad.net/project-name/0.x/0.1.1.tar.gz which would allow uscan to read the directories under http://files.launchpad.net/project-name/ -- no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 231797] Re: no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs
While the workaround is fine, it's fairly obscure and kind of suck that you have to type the url twice. At the least, do you think it makes sense to provide a popup on the download page that might give a hint to the debian/watch file contents? That would make it easier for people to create new packages for Ubuntu. ** Changed in: launchpad-foundations Status: Invalid => New -- no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The bug is marked invalid upstream in devscripts, which is correct.

OK, after checking it again, what launchpad *could* support is to have an accessible http/ftp path which uscan/watch could browse to get to its files. ** Changed in: launchpad-foundations Status: New => Confirmed -- no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 231797] Re: no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs
There is a way but it's certainly not "nice" compared to the ones of sourceforge and others. https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/21146 had the answer with a bit of luck I think that this is working: version=3 http://launchpad.net/screenlets/+download http://launchpad.net/screenlets/.*/screenlets-(.+).tar.gz The problem is that debian uses a redirector script for sourceforge: # qa.debian.org runs a redirector which allows a simpler form of URL # for SourceForge based projects. The format below will automatically # be rewritten to use the redirector. http://sf.net/audacity/audacity-src-(.+)\.tar\.gz ** Changed in: launchpad-foundations Status: Confirmed => New -- no sensible way to use debian/watch files with launchpad hosted tarballs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
