# debian/watch -- uscan control file (format VERSION 5) # # STATUS: upstream rockdodger is currently NOT trackable by uscan. # # WHY (verified 2026-06): # * Upstream publishes releases only as tarballs uploaded to the Bitbucket # "Downloads" area of bitbucket.org/rpkrawczyk/rockdodger. # * That area no longer offers a machine-readable listing to anonymous # HTTP clients: # - the Downloads web page is a JavaScript application and contains # no static links to the tarballs, so uscan (plain HTTP, # no JS) finds nothing to match; # - the REST listing endpoint # https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/rpkrawczyk/rockdodger/downloads # returns HTTP 402 ("A workspace on a Free plan does not support # uploading or downloading files"). # * The git repository carries no release tags (refs/tags is empty; only # the "master" branch exists), so git-tag mode has nothing to match. # Note: an individual tarball IS still fetchable by its exact URL # (.../downloads/rockdodger-1.1.4.tar.gz -> 302 -> signed S3 URL), but # uscan cannot DISCOVER the version because no listing is exposed. # # CONSEQUENCE: # No HTTP-scrape watch rule can work here, regardless of the regex. We # therefore declare the source Untrackable and document the situation, # which keeps this a valid version-5 file and stops uscan/QA from emitting # spurious "no matching files" / "obsolete watch file" warnings. # # HOW TO RE-ENABLE TRACKING (preferred long-term fix): # Ask upstream to tag releases in git (e.g. a "1.1.4" or "v1.1.4" tag). # Once tags exist, delete this file's body and use the git-tag stanza that # is provided (commented out) at the bottom -- uscan will then read tags # via "git ls-remote" and need no web listing at all. # # RFC822/deb822 SYNTAX REMINDER (this bit us before): # A version-5 watch file is paragraph-based. A blank line ENDS a paragraph. # All fields that belong together (Source, Matching-Pattern, ...) must be # in the SAME paragraph, i.e. with no blank line between them. We use "#" # comment lines (never truly empty lines) for spacing so the single # paragraph below stays intact. # # TEST: uscan --no-download --verbose # # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Required first (and here only) line of the paragraph. Version: 5 # Untrackable:. Its mere presence tells uscan not to treat # the inability to find a match as an error. Source/Matching-Pattern are kept # for documentation and so the file is ready to work the moment a real listing # becomes available again. Untrackable: Bitbucket Downloads not listable for anonymous HTTP (Free-plan API returns 402, web page is JS-only) and the git repo has no release tags # Source: the page uscan would scan for download hyperlinks. Source: https://bitbucket.org/rpkrawczyk/rockdodger/downloads # Matching-Pattern: regex matched against hrefs; first capture = version. # .*?/ non-greedy href path prefix (e.g. ".../downloads/") # rockdodger literal tarball basename # @ANY_VERSION@ -> [-_]?[Vv]?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*) (captures the version) # (?:\.pkg)? optional ".pkg" infix kept from the legacy v3 file # @ARCHIVE_EXT@ -> (?i)(?:\.(?:tar\.xz|tar\.bz2|tar\.gz|tar\.zstd?|zip|tgz|tbz|txz)) Matching-Pattern: .*?/rockdodger@ANY_VERSION@(?:\.pkg)?@ARCHIVE_EXT@ # # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # FUTURE: once upstream tags releases in git, replace everything above with # the stanza below (remove the leading "# " from each line). It needs no web # listing -- uscan reads tags directly via "git ls-remote". # # Version: 5 # Source: https://bitbucket.org/rpkrawczyk/rockdodger.git # Matching-Pattern: refs/tags/@ANY_VERSION@ # Mode: git # Git-Mode: full
