+Tag: debian-watch-lacks-sourceforge-redirector
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/watch
+Renamed-From: debian-watch-file-should-use-sf-redirector
+See-Also: uscan(1)
+Explanation: 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 <code>&lt;project&gt;</code> with the name of the SourceForge
+ project and <code>&lt;tar-name&gt;</code> with the name of the tarball
+ distributed within that project. Adjust the filename regex as necessary.
