• Help for watch file needed (has anything changed on gitlab that needs t

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 26 14:40:02 2025
    Hi,

    after the gitlab migration of v-sim upstream I drafted a watch file
    following some examples that worked for me in the past on Gitlab. I
    realised these examples watch files are also failing currently. Thus
    I suspect some change on Gitlab and I wonder how I could fix the
    watch file[1] which looks like:

    version=4
    https://gitlab.com/l_sim/v_sim/tags?sort=updated_desc .*/v_sim-(\d[\d.]+)\.tar\.gz

    I get:

    $ uscan --verbose --report
    uscan info: uscan (version 2.25.2) See uscan(1) for help
    uscan info: Scan watch files in .
    uscan info: Check debian/watch and debian/changelog in .

    uscan info: ./debian/changelog sets package="v-sim" version="3.8.0"
    uscan info: Process watch file at: debian/watch

    https://gitlab.com/l_sim/v_sim/tags?sort=updated_desc .*/v_sim-(\d[\d.]+)\.tar\.gz

    Any help would be welcome.

    Kind regards
    Andreas.
