Package: devscripts Version: 2.20.4 Severity: wishlist Control: user -1 devscri...@packages.debian.org Control: usertags -1 uscan
uscan offers some target for components: ignore, same,... "same" is strict and matches only the exact same version, while "ignore" doesn't check anything. It could be interesting to have a "compat" target that accept to download the last component whose version is compatible (using Semver). Example: nodejs needs to embed a compatible @types/node nodejs module. Nodejs unstable version is 12 and @types/node does not follow any minor version of nodejs, so: * "same" will often fail * "ignore" will download @types/node version ≥ 14, corresponding to last published version The "compat" target (with group-compat and checksum-compat) will avoid to modify debian/watch regexp.
