Lintian tag: debian-watch-lacks-sourceforge-redirector

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The watch file specifies a SourceForge page or download server directly.
This is not recommended; SourceForge changes their download servers and
website periodically, requiring watch files to be modified every time.
Instead, use the qa.debian.org redirector by using the magic URL:

http://sf.net/<project>/<tar-name>-(.+)\.tar\.gz

replacing <project> with the name of the SourceForge project and
<tar-name> with the name of the tarball distributed within that project.
Adjust the filename regex as necessary.

Please refer to the uscan(1) manual page for details.

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: debian/watch
Renamed from: debian-watch-file-should-use-sf-redirector
