+=head1 NAME
+
+uscan - scan/watch upstream sources for new releases of software
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<uscan> [I<options>] [I<path>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+For basic usage, B<uscan> is executed without any arguments from the root
+of the Debianized source tree where you see the F<debian/> directory, or
+a directory containing multiple source trees.
+
+Unless --watchfile is given, B<uscan> looks recursively for valid source
+trees starting from the current directory (see the below section
+L<Directory name checking> for details).
+
+For each valid source tree found, typically the following happens:
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<uscan> reads the first entry in F<debian/changelog> to determine the
+source package name I<< <spkg> >> and the last upstream version.
+
+=item * B<uscan> process the watch lines F<debian/watch> from the top to the
+bottom in a single pass.
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<uscan> downloads a web page from the specified I<URL> in
+F<debian/watch>.
+
+=item * B<uscan> extracts hrefs pointing to the upstream tarball(s) from the
+web page using the specified I<matching-pattern> in F<debian/watch>.
+
+=item * B<uscan> downloads the upstream tarball with the highest version newer
+than the last upstream version.
+
+=item * B<uscan> saves the downloaded tarball to the parent B<../> directory:
+I<< ../<upkg>-<uversion>.tar.gz >>
+
+=item * B<uscan> invokes B<mk-origtargz> to create the source tarball: I<<
+../<spkg>_<oversion>.orig.tar.gz >>
+
+=over
+
+=item * For a multiple upstream tarball (MUT) package, the secondary upstream
+tarball will instead be named I<< ../<spkg>_<oversion>.orig-<component>.tar.gz >>.
+
+=back
+
+=item * Repeat until all lines in F<debian/watch> are processed.
+
+=back
+
+=item * B<uscan> invokes B<uupdate> to create the Debianized source tree: I<<
+../<spkg>-<oversion>/* >>
+
+=back
+
+Please note the following.
+
+=over
+
+=item * For simplicity, the compression method used in examples is B<gzip> with
+B<.gz> suffix. Other methods such as B<xz>, B<bzip2>, and B<lzma> with
+corresponding B<xz>, B<bz2> and B<lzma> suffixes may also be used.
+
+=item * The new B<version=4> enables handling of multiple upstream tarball
+(MUT) packages but this is a rare case for Debian packaging. For a single
+upstream tarball package, there is only one watch line and no I<<
+../<spkg>_<oversion>.orig-<component>.tar.gz >> .
+
+=item * B<uscan> with the B<--verbose> option produces a human readable report
+of B<uscan>'s execution.
+
+=item * B<uscan> with the B<--debug> option produces a human readable report of
+B<uscan>'s execution including internal variable states.
+
+=item * B<uscan> with the B<--extra-debug> option produces a human readable
+report of B<uscan>'s execution including internal variable states and remote
+content during "search" step.
+
+=item * B<uscan> with the B<--dehs> option produces an upstream package status
+report in XML format for other programs such as the Debian External Health
+System.
+
+=item * The primary objective of B<uscan> is to help identify if the latest
+version upstream tarball is used or not; and to download the latest upstream
+tarball. The ordering of versions is decided by B<dpkg --compare-versions>.
+
+=item * B<uscan> with the B<--safe> option limits the functionality of B<uscan>
+to its primary objective. Both the repacking of downloaded files and
+updating of the source tree are skipped to avoid running unsafe scripts.
+This also changes the default to B<--no-download> and B<--skip-signature>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 FORMAT OF THE WATCH FILE
+
+The current version 4 format of F<debian/watch> can be summarized as follows:
+
+=over
+
+=item * Leading spaces and tabs are dropped.
+
+=item * Empty lines are dropped.
+
+=item * A line started by B<#> (hash) is a comment line and dropped.
+
+=item * A single B<\> (back slash) at the end of a line is dropped and the
+next line is concatenated after removing leading spaces and tabs. The
+concatenated line is parsed as a single line. (The existence or non-existence
+of the space before the tailing single B<\> is significant.)
+
+=item * The first non-comment line is:
+
+=over
+
+=item B<version=4>
+
+=back
+
+This is a required line and the recommended version number.
+
+If you use "B<version=3>" instead here, some features may not work as
+documented here. See L<HISTORY AND UPGRADING>.
+
+=item * The following non-comment lines (watch lines) specify the rules for the
+selection of the candidate upstream tarball URLs and are in one of the
+following three formats:
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<opts="> I<...> B<"> B<http://>I<URL> I<matching-pattern> [I<version> [I<script>]]
+
+=item * B<http://>I<URL> I<matching-pattern> [I<version> [I<script>]]
+
+=item * B<opts="> I<...> B<">
+
+=back
+
+Here,
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<opts="> I<...> B<"> specifies the behavior of B<uscan>. See L<WATCH
+FILE OPTIONS>.
+
+=item * B<http://>I<URL> specifies the web page where upstream publishes
+the link to the latest source archive.
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<https://>I<URL> may also be used, as may
+
+=item * B<ftp://>I<URL>
+
+=item * Some parts of I<URL> may be in the regex match pattern surrounded
+between B<(> and B<)> such as B</foo/bar-([\.\d]+)/>. (If multiple
+directories match, the highest version is picked.) Otherwise, the I<URL>
+is taken as verbatim.
+
+=back
+
+=item * I<matching-pattern> specifies the full string matching pattern for
+hrefs in the web page. See L<WATCH FILE EXAMPLES>.
+
+=over
+
+=item * All matching parts in B<(> and B<)> are concatenated with B<.> (period)
+to form the upstream version.
+
+=item * If the hrefs do not contain directories, you can combine this with the
+previous entry. I.e., B<http://>I<URL>B</>I<matching-pattern> .
+
+=back
+
+=item * I<version> restricts the upstream tarball which may be downloaded.
+The newest available version is chosen in each case.
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<debian> I<(default)> requires the downloading upstream tarball to be
+newer than the version obtained from F<debian/changelog>.
+
+=item * I<version-number> such as B<12.5> requires the upstream
+tarball to be newer than the I<version-number>.
+
+=item * B<same> requires the downloaded version of the secondary tarballs to be
+exactly the same as the one for the first upstream tarball downloaded. (Useful
+only for MUT)
+
+=item * B<previous> restricts the version of the signature
+file. (Used with pgpmode=previous)
+
+=item * B<ignore> does not restrict the version of the secondary
+tarballs. (Maybe useful for MUT)
+
+=item * B<group> requires the downloading upstream tarball to be newer than
+the version obtained from F<debian/changelog>. Package version is the
+concatenation of all "group" upstream version.
+
+=item * B<checksum> requires the downloading upstream tarball to be newer than
+the version obtained from F<debian/changelog>. Package version is the
+concatenation of the version of the main tarball, followed by a checksum of all
+the tarballs using the "checksum" version system.
+At least the main upstream source has to be declared as "group".
+
+=back
+
+=item * I<script> is executed at the end of B<uscan> execution with appropriate
+arguments provided by B<uscan> I<(default: no action)>.
+
+=over
+
+=item * The typical Debian package is a non-native package made from one
+upstream tarball. Only a single line of the watch line in one of the first two
+formats is usually used with its I<version> set to B<debian> and I<script>
+set to B<uupdate>.
+
+=item * A native package should not specify I<script>.
+
+=item * A multiple upstream tarball (MUT) package should specify B<uupdate>
+as I<script> in the last watch line and should skip specifying I<script> in the
+rest of the watch lines.
+
+=back
+
+=item * The last format of the watch line is useful to set the persistent
+parameters: B<user-agent>, B<compression>. If this format is used, this must
+be followed by the I<URL> defining watch line(s).
+
+=item * [ and ] in the above format are there to mark the optional parts and
+should not be typed.
+
+=back
+
+=back
+
+There are a few special strings which are substituted by B<uscan> to make it easy
+to write the watch file.
+
+=over
+
+=item B<@PACKAGE@>
+
+This is substituted with the source package name found in the first line of the
+F<debian/changelog> file.
+
+=item B<@ANY_VERSION@>
+
+This is substituted by the legal upstream version regex (capturing).
+
+ [-_]?v?(\d[\-+\.:\~\da-zA-Z]*)
+
+=item B<@ARCHIVE_EXT@>
+
+This is substituted by the typical archive file extension regex (non-capturing).
+
+ (?i)(?:\.(?:tar\.xz|tar\.bz2|tar\.gz|tar\.zstd?|zip|tgz|tbz|txz))
+
+=item B<@SIGNATURE_EXT@>
+
+This is substituted by the typical signature file extension regex (non-capturing).
+
+ (?i)(?:\.(?:tar\.xz|tar\.bz2|tar\.gz|tar\.zstd?|zip|tgz|tbz|txz))'(?:\.(?:asc|pgp|gpg|sig|sign))'
+
+=item B<@DEB_EXT@>
+
+This is substituted by the typical Debian extension regexp (capturing).
+
+ [\+~](debian|dfsg|ds|deb)(\.)?(\d+)?$
+
+=back
+
+Some file extensions are not included in the above intentionally to avoid false
+positives. You can still set such file extension patterns manually.
+
+=head1 WATCH FILE OPTIONS
+
+B<uscan> reads the watch options specified in B<opts="> I<...> B<"> to
+customize its behavior. Multiple options I<option1>, I<option2>, I<option3>,
+... can be set as B<opts=">I<option1>B<,> I<option2>B<,> I<option3>B<,> I< ...
+>B<"> . The double quotes are necessary if options contain any spaces.
+
+Unless otherwise noted as persistent, most options are valid only within their
+containing watch line.
+
+The available watch options are:
+
+=over
+
+=item B<component=>I<component>
+
+Set the name of the secondary source tarball as I<<
+<spkg>_<oversion>.orig-<component>.tar.gz >> for a MUT package.
+
+=item B<ctype=>I<component-type>
+
+Set the type of component I<(only "nodejs" and "perl" are available for now)>.
+This will help uscan to find current version if component version is ignored.
+
+When using B<ctype=nodejs>, uscan tries to find a version in C<package.json>,
+when using B<ctype=perl>, uscan tries to find a version in C<META.json>.
+If a version is found, it is used as current version for this component,
+regardless version found in Debian version string. This permits a better
+change detection when using I<ignore> or I<checksum> as Debian version.
+
+=item B<compression=>I<method>
+
+Set the compression I<method> when the tarball is repacked (persistent).
+
+Available I<method> values are what mk-origtargz supports, so B<xz>, B<gzip>
+(alias B<gz>), B<bzip2> (alias B<bz2>), B<lzma>, B<default>. The default method
+is currently B<xz>.
+When uscan is launched in a debian source repository which format is "1.0" or
+undefined, the method switches to B<gzip>.
+
+Please note the repacking of the upstream tarballs by B<mk-origtargz> happens
+only if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<USCAN_REPACK> is set in the devscript configuration. See L<DEVSCRIPT
+CONFIGURATION VARIABLES>.
+
+=item * B<--repack> is set on the commandline. See <COMMANDLINE OPTIONS>.
+
+=item * B<repack> is set in the watch line as B<opts="repack,>I<...>B<">.
+
+=item * The upstream archive is of B<zip> type including B<jar>, B<xpi>, ...
+
+=item * The upstream archive is of B<zstd> (Zstandard) type.
+
+=item * B<Files-Excluded> or B<Files-Excluded->I<component> stanzas are set in
+F<debian/copyright> to make B<mk-origtargz> invoked from B<uscan> remove
+files from the upstream tarball and repack it. See L<COPYRIGHT FILE
+EXAMPLES> and mk-origtargz(1).
+
+=back
+
+=item B<repack>
+
+Force repacking of the upstream tarball using the compression I<method>.
+
+=item B<repacksuffix=>I<suffix>
+
+Add I<suffix> to the Debian package upstream version only when the
+source tarball is repackaged. This rule should be used only for a single
+upstream tarball package.
+
+=item B<mode=>I<mode>
+
+Set the archive download I<mode>.
+
+=over
+
+=item B<LWP>
+
+This mode is the default one which downloads the specified tarball from the
+archive URL on the web. Automatically internal B<mode> value is updated to
+either B<http> or B<ftp> by URL.
+
+=item B<git>
+
+This mode accesses the upstream git archive directly with the B<git> command
+and packs the source tree with the specified tag via I<matching-pattern> into
+I<spkg-version>B<.tar.xz>.
+
+If the upstream publishes the released tarball via its web interface, please
+use it instead of using this mode. This mode is the last resort method.
+
+For git mode, I<matching-pattern> specifies the full string matching pattern for
+tags instead of hrefs. If I<matching-pattern> is set to
+B<refs/tags/>I<tag-matching-pattern>, B<uscan> downloads source from the
+B<refs/tags/>I<matched-tag> of the git repository. The upstream version is
+extracted from concatenating the matched parts in B<(> ... B<)> with B<.> . See
+L<WATCH FILE EXAMPLES>.
+
+If I<matching-pattern> is set to B<HEAD>, B<uscan> downloads source from the
+B<HEAD> of the git repository and the pertinent I<version> is automatically
+generated with the date and hash of the B<HEAD> of the git repository.
+
+If I<matching-pattern> is set to B<refs/heads/>I<branch>, B<uscan> downloads source
+from the named I<branch> of the git repository.
+
+The local repository is temporarily created as a bare git repository directory
+under the destination directory where the downloaded archive is generated. This
+is normally erased after the B<uscan> execution. This local repository is kept
+if B<--debug> option is used.
+
+If the current directory is a git repository and the searched repository is
+listed among the registered "remotes", then uscan will use it instead of cloning
+separately. The only local change is that uscan will run a "fetch" command to
+refresh the repository.
+
+=item B<svn>
+
+This mode accesses the upstream Subversion archive directly with the B<svn>
+command and packs the source tree.
+
+For svn mode, I<matching-pattern> specifies the full string matching pattern for
+directories under Subversion repository directory, specified via URL. The
+upstream version is extracted from concatenating the matched parts in B<(> ...
+B<)> with B<.> .
+
+If I<matching-pattern> is set to B<HEAD>, B<uscan> downloads the latest source
+tree of the URL. The upstream version is then constructed by appending the last
+revision of the URL to B<0.0~svn>.
+
+As commit signing is not possible with Subversion, the default B<pgpmode> is set
+to B<none> when B<mode=svn>. Settings of B<pgpmode> other than B<default> and
+B<none> are reported as errors.
+
+=back
+
+=item B<pretty=>I<rule>
+
+Set the upstream version string to an arbitrary format as an optional B<opts>
+argument when the I<matching-pattern> is B<HEAD> or B<heads/>I<branch> for
+B<git> mode. For the exact syntax, see the B<git-log> manpage under B<tformat>.
+The default is B<pretty=0.0~git%cd.%h>. No B<uversionmangle> rules is
+applicable for this case.
+
+When B<pretty=describe> is used, the upstream version string is the output of
+the "B<git describe --tags | sed s/-/./g>" command instead. For example, if the
+commit is the B<5>-th after the last tag B<v2.17.12> and its short hash is
+B<ged992511>, then the string is B<v2.17.12.5.ged992511> . For this case, it is
+good idea to add B<uversionmangle=s/^/0.0~/> or B<uversionmangle=s/^v//> to make
+the upstream version string compatible with Debian. B<uversionmangle=s/^v//>
+may work as well. Please note that in order for B<pretty=describe> to function
+well, upstream need to avoid tagging with random alphabetic tags.
+
+The B<pretty=describe> forces to set B<gitmode=full> to make a full local clone
+of the repository automatically.
+
+=item B<date=>I<rule>
+
+Set the date string used by the B<pretty> option to an arbitrary format as an
+optional B<opts> argument when the I<matching-pattern> is B<HEAD> or
+B<heads/>I<branch> for B<git> mode. For the exact syntax, see the
+B<strftime> manpage. The default is B<date=%Y%m%d>.
+
+=item B<gitexport=>I<mode>
+
+Set the git archive export operation I<mode>. The default is
+B<gitexport=default>. Set this to B<gitexport=all> to include all files in the
+.orig.tar archive, ignoring any I<export-ignore> git attributes defined by the
+upstream.
+
+This option is valid only in git mode.
+
+=item B<gitmode=>I<mode>
+
+Set the git clone operation I<mode>. The default is B<gitmode=shallow>. For
+some dumb git server, you may need to manually set B<gitmode=full> to force full
+clone operation.
+
+If the current directory is a git repository and the searched repository is
+listed among the registered "remotes", then uscan will use it instead of cloning
+separately.
+
+=item B<pgpmode=>I<mode>
+
+Set the PGP/GPG signature verification I<mode>.
+
+=over
+
+=item B<auto>
+
+B<uscan> checks possible URLs for the signature file and autogenerates a
+B<pgpsigurlmangle> rule to use it.
+
+=item B<default>
+
+Use B<pgpsigurlmangle=>I<rules> to generate the candidate upstream signature
+file URL string from the upstream tarball URL. (default)
+
+If the specified B<pgpsigurlmangle> is missing, B<uscan> checks possible URLs
+for the signature file and suggests adding a B<pgpsigurlmangle> rule.
+
+=item B<mangle>
+
+Use B<pgpsigurlmangle=>I<rules> to generate the candidate upstream signature
+file URL string from the upstream tarball URL.
+
+=item B<next>
+
+Verify this downloaded tarball file with the signature file specified in the
+next watch line. The next watch line must be B<pgpmode=previous>. Otherwise,
+no verification occurs.
+
+=item B<previous>
+
+Verify the downloaded tarball file specified in the previous watch line with
+this signature file. The previous watch line must be B<pgpmode=next>.
+
+=item B<self>
+
+Verify the downloaded file I<foo.ext> with its self signature and extract its
+content tarball file as I<foo>.
+
+=item B<gittag>
+
+Verify tag signature if B<mode=git>.
+
+=item B<none>
+
+No signature available. (No warning.)
+
+=back
+
+=item B<searchmode=>I<mode>
+
+Set the parsing search mode.
+
+=over
+
+=item B<html> I<(default)>: search pattern in "href" parameter of E<lt>aE<gt>
+HTML tags
+
+=item B<plain>: search pattern in the full page
+
+This is useful if page content is not HTML but JSON. Example with
+npmjs.com:
+
+ version=4
+ opts="searchmode=plain" \
+ https://registry.npmjs.org/aes-js \
+ https://registry.npmjs.org/aes-js/-/aes-js-(\d[\d\.]*)@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+=back
+
+=item B<decompress>
+
+Decompress compressed archive before the pgp/gpg signature verification.
+
+=item B<bare>
+
+Disable all site specific special case code such as URL redirector uses and
+page content alterations. (persistent)
+
+=item B<user-agent=>I<user-agent-string>
+
+Set the user-agent string used to contact the HTTP(S) server as
+I<user-agent-string>. (persistent)
+
+B<user-agent> option should be specified by itself in the watch line without
+I<URL>, to allow using semicolons and commas in it.
+
+=item B<pasv>, B<passive>
+
+Use PASV mode for the FTP connection.
+
+If PASV mode is required due to the client side network environment, set
+B<uscan> to use PASV mode via L<COMMANDLINE OPTIONS> or L<DEVSCRIPT
+CONFIGURATION VARIABLES> instead.
+
+=item B<active>, B<nopasv>
+
+Don't use PASV mode for the FTP connection.
+
+=item B<unzipopt=>I<options>
+
+Add the extra options to use with the B<unzip> command, such as B<-a>, B<-aa>,
+and B<-b>, when executed by B<mk-origtargz>.
+
+=item B<dversionmangle=>I<rules>
+
+Normalize the last upstream version string found in F<debian/changelog> to
+compare it to the available upstream tarball version. Removal of the Debian
+specific suffix such as B<s/@DEB_EXT@//> is usually done here.
+
+You can also use B<dversionmangle=auto>, this is exactly the same than
+B<dversionmangle=s/@DEB_EXT@//>
+
+=item B<dirversionmangle=>I<rules>
+
+Normalize the directory path string matching the regex in a set of parentheses
+of B<http://>I<URL> as the sortable version index string. This is used as the
+directory path sorting index only.
+
+Substitution such as B<s/PRE/~pre/; s/RC/~rc/> may help.
+
+=item B<pagemangle=>I<rules>
+
+Normalize the downloaded web page string. (Don't use this unless this is
+absolutely needed. Generally, B<g> flag is required for these I<rules>.)
+
+This is handy if you wish to access Amazon AWS or Subversion repositories in
+which <a href="..."> is not used.
+
+=item B<uversionmangle=>I<rules>
+
+Normalize the candidate upstream version strings extracted from hrefs in the
+source of the web page. This is used as the version sorting index when
+selecting the latest upstream version.
+
+Substitution such as B<s/PRE/~pre/; s/RC/~rc/> may help.
+
+=item B<versionmangle=>I<rules>
+
+Syntactic shorthand for B<uversionmangle=>I<rules>B<, dversionmangle=>I<rules>
+
+=item B<hrefdecode=percent-encoding>
+
+Convert the selected upstream tarball href string from the percent-encoded
+hexadecimal string to the decoded normal URL string for obfuscated web sites.
+Only B<percent-encoding> is available and it is decoded with
+B<s/%([A-Fa-f\d]{2})/chr hex $1/eg>.
+
+=item B<downloadurlmangle=>I<rules>
+
+Convert the selected upstream tarball href string into the accessible URL for
+obfuscated web sites. This is run after B<hrefdecode>.
+
+=item B<filenamemangle=>I<rules>
+
+Generate the upstream tarball filename from the selected href string if
+I<matching-pattern> can extract the latest upstream version I<< <uversion> >>
+from the selected href string. Otherwise, generate the upstream tarball
+filename from its full URL string and set the missing I<< <uversion> >> from
+the generated upstream tarball filename.
+
+Without this option, the default upstream tarball filename is generated by
+taking the last component of the URL and removing everything after any '?' or
+'#'.
+
+=item B<pgpsigurlmangle=>I<rules>
+
+Generate the candidate upstream signature file URL string from the upstream
+tarball URL.
+
+=item B<oversionmangle=>I<rules>
+
+Generate the version string I<< <oversion> >> of the source tarball I<<
+<spkg>_<oversion>.orig.tar.gz >> from I<< <uversion> >>. This should be used
+to add a suffix such as B<+dfsg> to a MUT package.
+
+=back
+
+Here, the mangling rules apply the I<rules> to the pertinent string. Multiple
+rules can be specified in a mangling rule string by making a concatenated
+string of each mangling I<rule> separated by B<;> (semicolon).
+
+Each mangling I<rule> cannot contain B<;> (semicolon), B<,> (comma), or B<">
+(double quote).
+
+Each mangling I<rule> behaves as if a Perl command "I<$string> B<=~> I<rule>"

+
+=head1 EXAMPLE OF EXECUTION
+
+B<uscan> reads the first entry in F<debian/changelog> to determine the source
+package name and the last upstream version.
+
+For example, if the first entry of F<debian/changelog> is:
+
+=over
+
+=item * I<< bar >> (B<3:2.03+dfsg-4>) unstable; urgency=low
+
+=back
+
+then, the source package name is I<< bar >> and the last Debian package version
+is B<3:2.03+dfsg-4>.
+
+The last upstream version is normalized to B<2.03+dfsg> by removing the epoch
+and the Debian revision.
+
+If the B<dversionmangle> rule exists, the last upstream version is further
+normalized by applying this rule to it. For example, if the last upstream
+version is B<2.03+dfsg> indicating the source tarball is repackaged, the
+suffix B<+dfsg> is removed by the string substitution B<s/\+dfsg\d*$//> to
+make the (dversionmangled) last upstream version B<2.03> and it is compared to
+the candidate upstream tarball versions such as B<2.03>, B<2.04>, ... found in
+the remote site. Thus, set this rule as:
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<opts="dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg\d*$//">
+
+=back
+
+B<uscan> downloads a web page from B<http://>I<URL> specified in
+F<debian/watch>.
+
+=over
+
+=item * If the directory name part of I<URL> has no parentheses, B<(> and B<)>,
+it is taken as verbatim.
+
+=item * If the directory name part of I<URL> has parentheses, B<(> and B<)>,
+then B<uscan> recursively searches all possible directories to find a page for
+the newest version. If the B<dirversionmangle> rule exists, the generated
+sorting index is used to find the newest version. If a specific version is
+specified for the download, the matching version string has priority over the
+newest version.
+
+=back
+
+For example, this B<http://>I<URL> may be specified as:
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<http://www.example.org/@ANY_VERSION@/>
+
+=back
+
+Please note the trailing B</> in the above to make B<@ANY_VERSION@> as the
+directory.
+
+If the B<pagemangle> rule exists, the whole downloaded web page as a string is
+normalized by applying this rule to it. This is very powerful tool and needs
+to be used with caution. If other mangling rules can be used to address your
+objective, do not use this rule.
+
+The downloaded web page is scanned for hrefs defined in the B<< <a href=" >>
+I<...> B<< "> >> tag to locate the candidate upstream tarball hrefs. These
+candidate upstream tarball hrefs are matched by the Perl regex pattern
+I<matching-pattern> such as B<< DL-(?:[\d\.]+?)/foo-(.+)\.tar\.gz >> to narrow
+down the candidates. This pattern match needs to be anchored at the beginning
+and the end. For example, candidate hrefs may be:
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<< DL-2.02/foo-2.02.tar.gz >>
+
+=item * B<< DL-2.03/foo-2.03.tar.gz >>
+
+=item * B<< DL-2.04/foo-2.04.tar.gz >>
+
+=back
+
+Here the matching string of B<(.+)> in I<matching-pattern> is considered as the
+candidate upstream version. If there are multiple matching strings of
+capturing patterns in I<matching-pattern>, they are all concatenated with B<.>
+(period) to form the candidate upstream version. Make sure to use the
+non-capturing regex such as B<(?:[\d\.]+?)> instead for the variable text
+matching part unrelated to the version.
+
+Then, the candidate upstream versions are:
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<2.02>
+
+=item * B<2.03>
+
+=item * B<2.04>
+
+=back
+
+The downloaded tarball filename is basically set to the same as the filename in
+the remote URL of the selected href.
+
+If the B<uversionmangle> rule exists, the candidate upstream versions are
+normalized by applying this rule to them. (This rule may be useful if the
+upstream version scheme doesn't sort correctly to identify the newest version.)
+
+The upstream tarball href corresponding to the newest (uversionmangled)
+candidate upstream version newer than the (dversionmangled) last upstream
+version is selected.
+
+If multiple upstream tarball hrefs corresponding to a single version with
+different extensions exist, the highest compression one is chosen. (Priority:
+B<< tar.xz > tar.lzma > tar.bz2 > tar.gz >>.)
+
+If the selected upstream tarball href is the relative URL, it is converted to
+the absolute URL using the base URL of the web page. If the B<< <base href="
+>> I< ... > B<< "> >> tag exists in the web page, the selected upstream tarball
+href is converted to the absolute URL using the specified base URL in the base
+tag, instead.
+
+If the B<downloadurlmangle> rule exists, the selected upstream tarball href is
+normalized by applying this rule to it. (This is useful for some sites with the
+obfuscated download URL.)
+
+If the B<filenamemangle> rule exists, the downloaded tarball filename is
+generated by applying this rule to the selected href if I<matching-pattern> can
+extract the latest upstream version I<< <uversion> >> from the selected href
+string. Otherwise, generate the upstream tarball filename from its full URL
+string and set the missing I<< <uversion> >> from the generated upstream
+tarball filename.
+
+Without the B<filenamemangle> rule, the default upstream tarball filename is
+generated by taking the last component of the URL and removing everything after
+any '?' or '#'.
+
+B<uscan> downloads the selected upstream tarball to the parent B<../>
+directory. For example, the downloaded file may be:
+
+=over
+
+=item * F<../foo-2.04.tar.gz>
+
+=back
+
+Let's call this downloaded version B<2.04> in the above example generically as
+I<< <uversion> >> in the following.
+
+If the B<pgpsigurlmangle> rule exists, the upstream signature file URL is
+generated by applying this rule to the (downloadurlmangled) selected upstream
+tarball href and the signature file is tried to be downloaded from it.
+
+If the B<pgpsigurlmangle> rule doesn't exist, B<uscan> warns user if the
+matching upstream signature file is available from the same URL with their
+filename being suffixed by the 5 common suffix B<asc>, B<gpg>, B<pgp>, B<sig>
+and B<sign>. (You can avoid this warning by setting B<pgpmode=none>.)
+
+If the signature file is downloaded, the downloaded upstream tarball is checked
+for its authenticity against the downloaded signature file using the armored keyring
+F<debian/upstream/signing-key.asc> (see L<KEYRING FILE EXAMPLES>). If its
+signature is not valid, or not made by one of the listed keys, B<uscan> will
+report an error.
+
+If the B<oversionmangle> rule exists, the source tarball version I<oversion> is
+generated from the downloaded upstream version I<uversion> by applying this
+rule. This rule is useful to add suffix such as B<+dfsg> to the version of all
+the source packages of the MUT package for which the repacksuffix mechanism
+doesn't work.
+
+B<uscan> invokes B<mk-origtargz> to create the source tarball properly named
+for the source package with B<.orig.> (or B<< .orig-<component>. >> for the
+secondary tarballs) in its filename.
+
+=over
+
+=item case A: packaging of the upstream tarball as is
+
+B<mk-origtargz> creates a symlink I<< ../bar_<oversion>.orig.tar.gz >>
+linked to the downloaded local upstream tarball. Here, I<< bar >> is the source
+package name found in F<debian/changelog>. The generated symlink may be:
+
+=over
+
+=item * F<../bar_2.04.orig.tar.gz> -> F<foo-2.04.tar.gz> (as is)
+
+=back
+
+Usually, there is no need to set up B<opts="dversionmangle=> I<...> B<"> for
+this case.
+
+=item case B: packaging of the upstream tarball after removing non-DFSG files
+
+B<mk-origtargz> checks the filename glob of the B<Files-Excluded> stanza in the
+first section of F<debian/copyright>, removes matching files to create a
+repacked upstream tarball. Normally, the repacked upstream tarball is renamed
+with I<suffix> to I<< ../bar_<oversion><suffix>.orig.tar.gz >> using
+the B<repacksuffix> option for the single upstream package. Here I<< <oversion> >>
+is updated to be I<< <oversion><suffix> >>.
+
+The removal of files is required if files are not DFSG-compliant. For such
+case, B<+dfsg> is used as I<suffix>.
+
+So the combined options are set as
+B<opts="dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg\d*$// ,repacksuffix=+dfsg">, instead.
+
+For example, the repacked upstream tarball may be:
+
+=over
+
+=item * F<../bar_2.04+dfsg.orig.tar.gz> (repackaged)
+
+=back
+
+=back
+
+B<uscan> normally invokes "B<uupdate> B<--find --upstream-version> I<oversion>
+" for the version=4 watch file.
+
+Please note that B<--find> option is used here since B<mk-origtargz> has been
+invoked to make B<*.orig.tar.gz> file already. B<uscan> picks I<< bar >> from
+F<debian/changelog>.
+
+It creates the new upstream source tree under the I<< ../bar-<oversion> >>
+directory and Debianize it leveraging the last package contents.
+
+=head1 WATCH FILE EXAMPLES
+
+When writing the watch file, you should rely on the latest upstream source
+announcement web page. You should not try to second guess the upstream archive
+structure if possible. Here are the typical F<debian/watch> files.
+
+Please note that executing B<uscan> with B<-v> or B<-vv> reveals what exactly
+happens internally.
+
+The existence and non-existence of a space the before tailing B<\> (back slash)
+are significant.
+
+Some undocumented shorter configuration strings are used in the below EXAMPLES
+to help you with typing. These are intentional ones. B<uscan> is written to
+accept such common sense abbreviations but don't push the limit.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (basic)
+
+Here is an example for the basic single upstream tarball.
+
+ version=4
+ http://example.com/~user/release/@PACKAGE@.html \
+ files/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+Or without using the substitution strings (not recommended):
+ http://example.com/~user/release/foo.html \
+ files/foo-([\d\.]+)\.tar\.gz
+
+ version=4
+
+For the upstream source package B<foo-2.0.tar.gz>, this watch file downloads
+and creates the Debian B<orig.tar> file B<foo_2.0.orig.tar.gz>.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (pgpsigurlmangle)
+
+Here is an example for the basic single upstream tarball with the matching
+signature file in the same file path.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.asc%" http://example.com/release/@PACKAGE@.html \
+ files/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+For the upstream source package B<foo-2.0.tar.gz> and the upstream signature
+file B<foo-2.0.tar.gz.asc>, this watch file downloads these files, verifies the
+authenticity using the keyring F<debian/upstream/signing-key.asc> and creates the
+Debian B<orig.tar> file B<foo_2.0.orig.tar.gz>.
+
+Here is another example for the basic single upstream tarball with the matching
+signature file on decompressed tarball in the same file path.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%@ARCHIVE_EXT@$%.asc%,decompress" \
+ http://example.com/release/@PACKAGE@.html \
+ files/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+For the upstream source package B<foo-2.0.tar.gz> and the upstream signature
+file B<foo-2.0.tar.asc>, this watch file downloads these files, verifies the
+authenticity using the keyring F<debian/upstream/signing-key.asc> and creates the
+Debian B<orig.tar> file B<foo_2.0.orig.tar.gz>.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (pgpmode=next/previous)
+
+Here is an example for the basic single upstream tarball with the matching
+signature file in the unrelated file path.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpmode=next" http://example.com/release/@PACKAGE@.html \
+ files/(?:\d+)/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ debian
+ opts="pgpmode=previous" http://example.com/release/@PACKAGE@.html \
+ files/(?:\d+)/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@SIGNATURE_EXT@ previous
+
+B<(?:\d+)> part can be any random value. The tarball file can have B<53>,
+while the signature file can have B<33>.
+
+B<([\d\.]+)> part for the signature file has a strict requirement to match that
+for the upstream tarball specified in the previous line by having B<previous>
+as I<version> in the watch line.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (flexible)
+
+Here is an example for the maximum flexibility of upstream tarball and
+signature file extensions.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpmode=next" http://example.com/DL/ \
+ files/(?:\d+)/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ debian
+ opts="pgpmode=previous" http://example.com/DL/ \
+ files/(?:\d+)/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@SIGNATURE_EXT@ \
+ previous
+
+=head2 HTTP site (basic MUT)
+
+Here is an example for the basic multiple upstream tarballs.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.sig%" \
+ http://example.com/release/foo.html \
+ files/foo-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ debian
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.sig%, component=bar" \
+ http://example.com/release/foo.html \
+ files/foobar-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ same
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.sig%, component=baz" \
+ http://example.com/release/foo.html \
+ files/foobaz-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ same
+
+For the main upstream source package B<foo-2.0.tar.gz> and the secondary
+upstream source packages B<foobar-2.0.tar.gz> and B<foobaz-2.0.tar.gz> which
+install under F<bar/> and F<baz/>, this watch file downloads and creates the
+Debian B<orig.tar> file B<foo_2.0.orig.tar.gz>, B<foo_2.0.orig-bar.tar.gz> and
+B<foo_2.0.orig-baz.tar.gz>. Also, these upstream tarballs are verified by
+their signature files.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (recursive directory scanning)
+
+Here is an example with the recursive directory scanning for the upstream tarball
+and its signature files released in a directory named
+after their version.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.sig%, dirversionmangle=s/-PRE/~pre/;s/-RC/~rc/" \
+ http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/@ANY_VERSION@/ \
+ Twisted-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+Here, the web site should be accessible at the following URL:
+
+ http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/
+
+Here, B<dirversionmangle> option is used to normalize the sorting order of the
+directory names.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (alternative shorthand)
+
+For the bare HTTP site where you can directly see archive filenames, the normal
+watch file:
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.sig%" \
+ http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Text/ \
+ Text-CSV_XS-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+can be rewritten in an alternative shorthand form only with a single string
+covering URL and filename:
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.sig%" \
+ http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Text/Text-CSV_XS-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+In version=4, initial white spaces are dropped. Thus, this alternative
+shorthand form can also be written as:
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pgpsigurlmangle=s%$%.sig%" \
+ http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Text/\
+ Text-CSV_XS-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+Please note the subtle difference of a space before the tailing B<\>
+between the first and the last examples.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (funny version)
+
+For a site which has funny version numbers, the parenthesized groups will be
+joined with B<.> (period) to make a sanitized version number.
+
+ version=4
+ http://www.site.com/pub/foobar/foobar_v(\d+)_(\d+)@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+=head2 HTTP site (DFSG)
+
+The upstream part of the Debian version number can be mangled to indicate the
+source package was repackaged to clean up non-DFSG files:
+
+ version=4
+ opts="dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg\d*$//,repacksuffix=+dfsg" \
+ http://some.site.org/some/path/foobar-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+See L<COPYRIGHT FILE EXAMPLES>.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (filenamemangle)
+
+The upstream tarball filename is found by taking the last component of the URL
+and removing everything after any '?' or '#'.
+
+If this does not fit to you, use B<filenamemangle>. For example, F<< <A
+href="http://foo.bar.org/dl/?path=&dl=foo-0.1.1.tar.gz"> >> could be handled
+as:
+
+ version=4
+ opts=filenamemangle=s/.*=(.*)/$1/ \
+ http://foo.bar.org/dl/\?path=&dl=foo-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+F<< <A href="http://foo.bar.org/dl/?path=&dl_version=0.1.1"> >>
+could be handled as:
+
+ version=4
+ opts=filenamemangle=s/.*=(.*)/foo-$1\.tar\.gz/ \
+ http://foo.bar.org/dl/\?path=&dl_version=@ANY_VERSION@
+
+If the href string has no version using <I>matching-pattern>, the version can
+be obtained from the full URL using B<filenamemangle>.
+
+ version=4
+ opts=filenamemangle=s&.*/dl/(.*)/foo\.tar\.gz&foo-$1\.tar\.gz& \
+ http://foo.bar.org/dl/@ANY_VERSION@/ foo.tar.gz
+
+=head2 HTTP site (downloadurlmangle)
+
+The option B<downloadurlmangle> can be used to mangle the URL of the file
+to download. This can only be used with B<http://> URLs. This may be
+necessary if the link given on the web page needs to be transformed in
+some way into one which will work automatically, for example:
+
+ version=4
+ opts=downloadurlmangle=s/prdownload/download/ \
+ http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2051 \
+ http://prdownload.berlios.de/softdevice/vdr-softdevice-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+=head2 HTTP site (oversionmangle, MUT)
+
+The option B<oversionmangle> can be used to mangle the version of the source
+tarball (B<.orig.tar.gz> and B<.orig-bar.tar.gz>). For example, B<+dfsg> can
+be added to the upstream version as:
+
+ version=4
+ opts=oversionmangle=s/(.*)/$1+dfsg/ \
+ http://example.com/~user/release/foo.html \
+ files/foo-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ debian
+ opts="component=bar" \
+ http://example.com/~user/release/foo.html \
+ files/bar-@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@ same
+
+See L<COPYRIGHT FILE EXAMPLES>.
+
+=head2 HTTP site (pagemangle)
+
+The option B<pagemangle> can be used to mangle the downloaded web page before
+applying other rules. The non-standard web page without proper B<< <a href="
+>> << ... >> B<< "> >> entries can be converted. For example, if F<foo.html>
+uses B<< <a bogus=" >> I<< ... >> B<< "> >>, this can be converted to the
+standard page format with:
+
+ version=4
+ opts=pagemangle="s/<a\s+bogus=/<a href=/g" \
+ http://example.com/release/foo.html \
+ files/@PACKAGE@@ANY_VERSION@@ARCHIVE_EXT@
+
+Please note the use of B<g> here to replace all occurrences.
+
+If F<foo.html> uses B<< <Key> >> I<< ... >> B<< </Key> >>, this can be
+converted to the standard page format with:
+
+ version=4
+ opts="pagemangle=s%<Key>([^<]*)</Key>%<Key><a href="$1">$1</a></Key>%g" \
+ http://example.com/release/foo.html \

+=head2 FTP site (funny version)
+
+This is another way of handling site with funny version numbers,
+this time using mangling. (Note that multiple groups will be

+
+The "checksum" is made up of the separate sum of each number composing the
+component versions. Following is an example with 3 components whose versions
+are "1.2.4", "2.0.1" and "10.0", with the main tarball having version "2.0.6":
+
+ Main: 2.0.6
+ Comp1: 1 . 2 . 4
+ Comp2: 2 . 0 . 1
+ Comp3: 10 . 0
+ ================================
+ Result : 1+2+10 . 2+0+0 . 4+1
+ Checksum: 13 . 2 . 5
+ ================================
+ Final Version: 2.0.6+~cs13.2.5
+
+uscan will also display the original version string before being encoded into
+the checksum, which can for example be used in a debian/changelog entry to
+easily follow the changes:
+
+ 2.0.6+~1.2.4+~2.0.1+~10.0
+
+B<Note>: This feature currently accepts only versions composed of digits and
+full stops (`.`).

+=head2 direct access to the git repository (tags)
+
+If the upstream only publishes its code via the git repository and its code has
+no web interface to obtain the release tarball, you can use B<uscan> with the
+tags of the git repository to track and package the new upstream release.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="mode=git, gitmode=full, pgpmode=none" \
+ http://git.ao2.it/tweeper.git \
+ refs/tags/v@ANY_VERSION@
+
+Please note "B<git ls-remote>" is used to obtain references for tags.
+
+If a tag B<v20.5> is the newest tag, the above example downloads
+I<spkg>B<-20.5.tar.xz> after making a full clone of the git repository which is
+needed for dumb git server.
+
+If tags are signed, set B<pgpmode=gittag> to verify them.
+
+=head2 direct access to the git repository (HEAD)
+
+If the upstream only publishes its code via the git repository and its code has
+no web interface nor the tags to obtain the released tarball, you can use
+B<uscan> with the HEAD of the git repository to track and package the new
+upstream release with an automatically generated version string.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="mode=git, pgpmode=none" \
+ https://github.com/Debian/dh-make-golang \
+ HEAD
+
+Please note that a local shallow copy of the git repository is made with "B<git
+clone --bare --depth=1> ..." normally in the target directory. B<uscan>
+generates the new upstream version with "B<git log --date=format:%Y%m%d
+--pretty=0.0~git%cd.%h>" on this local copy of repository as its default
+behavior.
+
+The generation of the upstream version string may the adjusted to your taste by
+adding B<pretty> and B<date> options to the B<opts> arguments.
+
+=head2 direct access to the Subversion repository (tags)
+
+If the upstream only publishes its code via the Subversion repository and its
+code has no web interface to obtain the release tarball, you can use B<uscan>
+with the tags of the Subversion repository to track and package the new upstream
+release.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="mode=svn, pgpmode=none" \
+ svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/jmol/code/tags/ \
+ @ANY_VERSION@\/
+
+=head2 direct access to the Subversion repository (HEAD)
+
+If the upstream only publishes its code via the Subversion repository and its
+code has no web interface to obtain the release tarball, you can use B<uscan>
+to get the most recent source of a subtree in the repository with an
+automatically generated version string.
+
+ version=4
+ opts="mode=svn, pgpmode=none" \
+ svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/jmol/code/trunk/ \
+ HEAD
+
+By default, B<uscan> generates the new upstream version by appending the
+revision number to "0.0~svn". This can later be changed using B<uversionmangle>.

+=head1 KEYRING FILE EXAMPLES
+
+Let's assume that the upstream "B<< uscan test key (no secret)
+<none@debian.org> >>" signs its package with a secret OpenPGP key and publishes
+the corresponding public OpenPGP key. This public OpenPGP key can be
+identified in 3 ways using the hexadecimal form.
+
+=over
+
+=item * The fingerprint as the 20 byte data calculated from the public OpenPGP
+key. E. g., 'B<CF21 8F0E 7EAB F584 B7E2 0402 C77E 2D68 7254 3FAF>'
+
+=item * The long keyid as the last 8 byte data of the fingerprint. E. g.,
+'B<C77E2D6872543FAF>'
+
+=item * The short keyid is the last 4 byte data of the fingerprint. E. g.,
+'B<72543FAF>'
+
+=back
+
+Considering the existence of the collision attack on the short keyid, the use
+of the long keyid is recommended for receiving keys from the public key
+servers. You must verify the downloaded OpenPGP key using its full fingerprint
+value which you know is the trusted one.
+
+The armored keyring file F<debian/upstream/signing-key.asc> can be created by
+using the B<gpg> (or B<gpg2>) command as follows.
+
+ $ gpg --recv-keys "C77E2D6872543FAF"
+ ...
+ $ gpg --finger "C77E2D6872543FAF"
+ pub 4096R/72543FAF 2015-09-02
+ Key fingerprint = CF21 8F0E 7EAB F584 B7E2 0402 C77E 2D68 7254 3FAF
+ uid uscan test key (no secret) <none@debian.org>
+ sub 4096R/52C6ED39 2015-09-02
+ $ cd path/to/<upkg>-<uversion>
+ $ mkdir -p debian/upstream
+ $ gpg --export --export-options export-minimal --armor \
+ 'CF21 8F0E 7EAB F584 B7E2 0402 C77E 2D68 7254 3FAF' \
+ >debian/upstream/signing-key.asc
+
+The binary keyring files, F<debian/upstream/signing-key.pgp> and
+F<debian/upstream-signing-key.pgp>, are still supported but deprecated.
+
+If a group of developers sign the package, you need to list fingerprints of all
+of them in the argument for B<gpg --export ...> to make the keyring to contain
+all OpenPGP keys of them.
+
+Sometimes you may wonder who made a signature file. You can get the public
+keyid used to create the detached signature file F<foo-2.0.tar.gz.asc> by
+running B<gpg> as:
+
+ $ gpg -vv foo-2.0.tar.gz.asc
+ gpg: armor: BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE
+ gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1
+ :signature packet: algo 1, keyid C77E2D6872543FAF

+
+=over
+
+=item B<--conffile>, B<--conf-file>

+If one B<--conf-file> has no C<+>, default configuration files are ignored.
+
+=back
+
+=item B<--no-conf>, B<--noconf>
+
+Don't read any configuration files. This can only be used as the first option
+given on the command-line.
+
+=item B<--no-verbose>
+
+Don't report verbose information. (default)
+
+=item B<--verbose>, B<-v>
+
+Report verbose information.
+
+=item B<--debug>, B<-vv>
+
+Report verbose information and some internal state values.
+
+=item B<--extra-debug>, B<-vvv>
+
+Report verbose information including the downloaded
+web pages as processed to STDERR for debugging.
+
+=item B<--dehs>
+
+Send DEHS style output (XML-type) to STDOUT, while
+send all other uscan output to STDERR.
+
+=item B<--no-dehs>
+
+Use only traditional uscan output format. (default)
+
+=item B<--download>, B<-d>
+
+Download the new upstream release. (default)
+
+=item B<--force-download>, B<-dd>
+
+Download the new upstream release even if up-to-date. (may not overwrite the local file)
+
+=item B<--overwrite-download>, B<-ddd>
+
+Download the new upstream release even if up-to-date. (may overwrite the local file)
+
+=item B<--no-download>, B<--nodownload>
+
+Don't download and report information.
+
+Previously downloaded tarballs may be used.
+
+Change default to B<--skip-signature>.
+
+=item B<--signature>
+
+Download signature. (default)
+
+=item B<--no-signature>
+
+Don't download signature but verify if already downloaded.
+
+=item B<--skip-signature>
+
+Don't bother download signature nor verifying signature.
+
+=item B<--safe>, B<--report>
+
+Avoid running unsafe scripts by skipping both the repacking of the downloaded
+package and the updating of the new source tree.
+
+Change default to B<--no-download> and B<--skip-signature>.
+
+When the objective of running B<uscan> is to gather the upstream package status
+under the security conscious environment, please make sure to use this option.
+
+=item B<--report-status>
+
+This is equivalent of setting "B<--verbose --safe>".
+
+=item B<--download-version> I<version>
+
+Specify the I<version> which the upstream release must match in order to be
+considered, rather than using the release with the highest version.
+(a best effort feature)
+
+=item B<--download-debversion> I<version>
+
+Specify the Debian package version to download the corresponding upstream
+release version. The B<dversionmangle> and B<uversionmangle> rules are considered.
+(a best effort feature)
+
+=item B<--download-current-version>
+
+Download the currently packaged version.
+(a best effort feature)
+
+=item B<--check-dirname-level> I<N>
+
+See the below section L<Directory name checking> for an explanation of this option.
+
+=item B<--check-dirname-regex> I<regex>
+
+See the below section L<Directory name checking> for an explanation of this option.
+
+=item B<--destdir> I<path>
+Normally, B<uscan> changes its internal current directory to the package's
+source directory where the F<debian/> is located. Then the destination
+directory for the downloaded tarball and other files is set to the parent
+directory F<../> from this internal current directory.
+
+This default destination directory can be overridden by setting B<--destdir>
+option to a particular I<path>. If this I<path> is a relative path, the
+destination directory is determined in relative to the internal current
+directory of B<uscan> execution. If this I<path> is a absolute path, the
+destination directory is set to I<path> irrespective of the internal current
+directory of B<uscan> execution.
+
+The above is true not only for the simple B<uscan> run in the single source tree
+but also for the advanced scanning B<uscan> run with subdirectories holding
+multiple source trees.
+
+One exception is when B<--watchfile> and B<--package> are used together. For
+this case, the internal current directory of B<uscan> execution and the default
+destination directory are set to the current directory F<.> where B<uscan> is
+started. The default destination directory can be overridden by setting
+B<--destdir> option as well.
+
+=item B<--package> I<package>
+
+Specify the name of the package to check for rather than examining
+F<debian/changelog>; this requires the B<--upstream-version> (unless a version
+is specified in the F<watch> file) and B<--watchfile> options as well.
+Furthermore, no directory scanning will be done and nothing will be downloaded.
+This option automatically sets B<--no-download> and B<--skip-signature>; and
+probably most useful in conjunction with the DEHS system (and B<--dehs>).
+
+=item B<--upstream-version> I<upstream-version>
+
+Specify the current upstream version rather than examine F<debian/watch> or
+F<debian/changelog> to determine it. This is ignored if a directory scan is being
+performed and more than one F<debian/watch> file is found.
+
+=item B<--watchfile> I<watchfile>
+
+Specify the I<watchfile> rather than perform a directory scan to determine it.
+If this option is used without B<--package>, then B<uscan> must be called from
+within the Debian package source tree (so that F<debian/changelog> can be found
+simply by stepping up through the tree).
+
+One exception is when B<--watchfile> and B<--package> are used together.
+B<uscan> can be called from anywhare and the internal current directory of
+B<uscan> execution and the default destination directory are set to the current
+directory F<.> where B<uscan> is started.
+
+See more in the B<--destdir> explanation.
+
+=item B<--bare>
+
+Disable all site specific special case codes to perform URL redirections and
+page content alterations.
+
+=item B<--http-header>
+
+Add specified header in HTTP requests for matching url. This option can be used
+more than one time, values must be in the form "baseUrl@Name=value. Example:
+
+ uscan --http-header https://example.org@My-Token=qwertyuiop
+
+Security:
+
+=over
+
+=item The given I<baseUrl> must exactly match the base url before '/'.
+Examples:

+=item B<--no-pasv>
+
+Don't use PASV mode for FTP connections.
+
+=item B<--no-symlink>
+
+Don't rename nor repack upstream tarball.

+Display version information.
+
+=back
+
+B<uscan> also accepts following options and passes them to B<mk-origtargz>:
+
+=over
+
+=item B<--symlink>
+
+Make B<orig.tar.gz> (with the appropriate extension) symlink to the downloaded
+files. (This is the default behavior.)
+
+=item B<--copy>
+
+Instead of symlinking as described above, copy the downloaded files.
+
+=item B<--rename>
+
+Instead of symlinking as described above, rename the downloaded files.
+
+=item B<--repack>
+
+After having downloaded an lzma tar, xz tar, bzip tar, gz tar, zip, jar, xpi,
+zstd archive, repack it to the specified compression (see B<--compression>).
+
+The unzip package must be installed in order to repack zip and jar archives,
+the mozilla-devscripts package must be installed to repack xpi archives,
+the xz-utils package must be installed to repack lzma or xz tar archives, and
+zstd must be installed to repack zstd archives.
+
+=item B<--compression> [ B<gzip> | B<bzip2> | B<lzma> | B<xz> ]
+
+In the case where the upstream sources are repacked (either because B<--repack>
+option is given or F<debian/copyright> contains the field B<Files-Excluded>),
+it is possible to control the compression method via the parameter. The
+default is B<gzip> for normal tarballs, and B<xz> for tarballs generated

+=head1 DEVSCRIPT CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
+
+For the basic usage, B<uscan> does not require to set these configuration
+variables.
+
+The two configuration files F</etc/devscripts.conf> and F<~/.devscripts> are
+sourced by a shell in that order to set configuration variables. These
+may be overridden by command line options. Environment variable settings are
+ignored for this purpose. If the first command line option given is
+B<--noconf>, then these files will not be read. The currently recognized
+variables are:

+
+Download or report only:

+be downloaded. This is the default behavior.
+
+See also B<--force-download> and B<--overwrite-download>.
+
+=back
+
+=item B<USCAN_SAFE>
+
+If this is set to B<yes>, then B<uscan> avoids running unsafe scripts by
+skipping both the repacking of the downloaded package and the updating of the
+new source tree; this is equivalent to the B<--safe> options; this also sets
+the default to B<--no-download> and B<--skip-signature>.
+
+=item B<USCAN_PASV>
+
+If this is set to yes or no, this will force FTP connections to use PASV mode
+or not to, respectively. If this is set to default, then B<Net::FTP(3)> makes
+the choice (primarily based on the B<FTP_PASSIVE> environment variable).
+
+=item B<USCAN_TIMEOUT>
+
+If set to a number I<N>, then set the timeout to I<N> seconds. This is
+equivalent to the B<--timeout> option.
+
+=item B<USCAN_SYMLINK>
+
+If this is set to no, then a I<pkg>_I<version>B<.orig.tar.{gz|bz2|lzma|xz}>
+symlink will not be made (equivalent to the B<--no-symlink> option). If it is
+set to B<yes> or B<symlink>, then the symlinks will be made. If it is set to
+B<rename>, then the files are renamed (equivalent to the B<--rename> option).
+
+=item B<USCAN_DEHS_OUTPUT>
+
+If this is set to B<yes>, then DEHS-style output will be used. This is
+equivalent to the B<--dehs> option.
+
+=item B<USCAN_VERBOSE>
+
+If this is set to B<yes>, then verbose output will be given. This is
+equivalent to the B<--verbose> option.
+
+=item B<USCAN_USER_AGENT>
+
+If set, the specified user agent string will be used in place of the default.
+This is equivalent to the B<--user-agent> option.
+
+=item B<USCAN_DESTDIR>
+
+If set, the downloaded files will be placed in this directory. This is
+equivalent to the B<--destdir> option.
+
+=item B<USCAN_REPACK>
+
+If this is set to yes, then after having downloaded a bzip tar, lzma tar, xz
+tar, zip or zstd archive, uscan will repack it to the specified compression
+(see B<--compression>). This is equivalent to the B<--repack> option.
+
+=item B<USCAN_EXCLUSION>
+
+If this is set to no, files mentioned in the field B<Files-Excluded> of
+F<debian/copyright> will be ignored and no exclusion of files will be tried.
+This is equivalent to the B<--no-exclusion> option.
+
+=item B<USCAN_HTTP_HEADER>
+
+If set, the specified http header will be used if URL match. This is equivalent
+to B<--http-header> option.

+
+=head1 ADVANCED FEATURES
+
+B<uscan> has many other enhanced features which are skipped in the above
+section for the simplicity. Let's check their highlights.
+
+B<uscan> can be executed with I<path> as its argument to change the starting
+directory of search from the current directory to I<path> .
+
+If you are not sure what exactly is happening behind the scene, please enable
+the B<--verbose> option. If this is not enough, enable the B<--debug> option
+too see all the internal activities.
+
+See L<COMMANDLINE OPTIONS> and L<DEVSCRIPT CONFIGURATION VARIABLES> for other
+variations.
+
+=head2 Custom script
+
+The optional I<script> parameter in F<debian/watch> means to execute I<script>
+with options after processing this line if specified.
+
+See L<HISTORY AND UPGRADING> for how B<uscan> invokes the custom I<script>.
+
+For compatibility with other tools such as B<git-buildpackage>, it may not be
+wise to create custom scripts with random behavior. In general, B<uupdate> is
+the best choice for the non-native package and custom scripts, if created,
+should behave as if B<uupdate>. For possible use case, see
+L<http://bugs.debian.org/748474> as an example.
+
+=head2 URL diversion
+
+Some popular web sites changed their web page structure causing maintenance
+problems to the watch file. There are some redirection services created to
+ease maintenance of the watch file. Currently, B<uscan> makes automatic
+diversion of URL requests to the following URLs to cope with this situation.
+
+=over
+
+=item * L<http://sf.net>
+
+=item * L<http://pypi.python.org>
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Directory name checking
+
+Similarly to several other scripts in the B<devscripts> package, B<uscan>
+explores the requested directory trees looking for F<debian/changelog> and
+F<debian/watch> files. As a safeguard against stray files causing potential
+problems, and in order to promote efficiency, it will examine the name of the
+parent directory once it finds the F<debian/changelog> file, and check that the
+directory name corresponds to the package name. It will only attempt to
+download newer versions of the package and then perform any requested action if
+the directory name matches the package name. Precisely how it does this is
+controlled by two configuration file variables
+B<DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL> and B<DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX>, and
+their corresponding command-line options B<--check-dirname-level> and
+B<--check-dirname-regex>.
+
+B<DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_LEVEL> can take the following values:
+
+=over
+
+=item B<0>
+
+Never check the directory name.
+
+=item B<1>
+
+Only check the directory name if we have had to change directory in
+our search for F<debian/changelog>, that is, the directory containing
+F<debian/changelog> is not the directory from which B<uscan> was invoked.
+This is the default behavior.
+
+=item B<2>
+
+Always check the directory name.
+
+=back
+
+The directory name is checked by testing whether the current directory name (as
+determined by pwd(1)) matches the regex given by the configuration file
+option B<DEVSCRIPTS_CHECK_DIRNAME_REGEX> or by the command line option
+B<--check-dirname-regex> I<regex>. Here regex is a Perl regex (see
+perlre(3perl)), which will be anchored at the beginning and the end. If regex
+contains a B</>, then it must match the full directory path. If not, then
+it must match the full directory name. If regex contains the string I<package>,
+this will be replaced by the source package name, as determined from the
+F<debian/changelog>. The default value for the regex is: I<package>B<(-.+)?>, thus matching
+directory names such as I<package> and I<package>-I<version>.
+
+=head1 HISTORY AND UPGRADING
+
+This section briefly describes the backwards-incompatible F<watch> file features
+which have been added in each F<watch> file version, and the first version of the
+B<devscripts> package which understood them.
+
+=over
+
+=item Pre-version 2
+
+The F<watch> file syntax was significantly different in those days. Don't use it.
+If you are upgrading from a pre-version 2 F<watch> file, you are advised to read
+this manpage and to start from scratch.
+
+=item Version 2
+
+B<devscripts> version 2.6.90: The first incarnation of the current style of
+F<watch> files. This version is also deprecated and will be rejected after
+the Debian 11 release.
+
+=item Version 3
+
+B<devscripts> version 2.8.12: Introduced the following: correct handling of
+regex special characters in the path part, directory/path pattern matching,
+version number in several parts, version number mangling. Later versions
+have also introduced URL mangling.
+
+If you are upgrading from version 2, the key incompatibility is if you have
+multiple groups in the pattern part; whereas only the first one would be used
+in version 2, they will all be used in version 3. To avoid this behavior,
+change the non-version-number groups to be B<(?:> I< ...> B<)> instead of a
+plain B<(> I< ... > B<)> group.
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<uscan> invokes the custom I<script> as "I<script> B<--upstream-version>
+I<version> B<../>I<spkg>B<_>I<version>B<.orig.tar.gz>".
+
+=item * B<uscan> invokes the standard B<uupdate> as "B<uupdate> B<--no-symlink
+--upstream-version> I<version> B<../>I<spkg>B<_>I<version>B<.orig.tar.gz>".
+
+=back
+
+=item Version 4
+
+B<devscripts> version 2.15.10: The first incarnation of F<watch> files
+supporting multiple upstream tarballs.
+
+The syntax of the watch file is relaxed to allow more spaces for readability.
+
+If you have a custom script in place of B<uupdate>, you may also encounter
+problems updating from Version 3.
+
+=over
+
+=item * B<uscan> invokes the custom I<script> as "I<script> B<--upstream-version>
+I<version>".
+
+=item * B<uscan> invokes the standard B<uupdate> as "B<uupdate> B<--find>
+B<--upstream-version> I<version>".
+
+=back
+
+Restriction for B<--dehs> is lifted by redirecting other output to STDERR when
+it is activated.

+=head1 AUTHOR
+
+The original version of uscan was written by Christoph Lameter
+<clameter@debian.org>. Significant improvements, changes and bugfixes were
+made by Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>. HTTP support was added by Piotr
+Roszatycki <dexter@debian.org>. The program was rewritten in Perl by Julian
+Gilbey. Xavier Guimard converted it in object-oriented Perl using L<Moo>.

+# * If $opt_watchfile and $opt_package are defined, test specified watchfile
+# without changelog (sanity check for $opt_uversion may be good idea)
+# * If $opt_watchfile is defined but $opt_package isn't defined, test specified
+# watchfile assuming you are in source tree and debian/changelogis used to
+# set variables
+# * If $opt_watchfile isn't defined, scan subdirectories of directories
+# specified as ARGS (if none specified, "." is scanned).
+# * Normal packaging has no ARGS and uses "."
+# * Archive status scanning tool uses many ARGS pointing to the expanded
+# source tree to be checked.
+# Comments below focus on Normal packaging case and sometimes ignores first 2
+# watch file testing setup.
