Hi,

when trying to download the new GNUmed tarball via uscan (the Debian
tool which inspects a so called watch file for new upstream versions) I
realised that this fails.  The problem is that I learned that uscan is
not clever enough to ignore a directory which only consists of release
candidates so once you create a 0.6 directory I will again get false
positives of new upstream versions (see [1]).

As a workaround it was suggested [2] to parse the page where you are
mentioning the latest released tarball [3] - but this page is terribly
out of date (and the reason why I'm writing here).  I think I brought
this up here because my watch file now rather mentiones the Wiki page
[4] which used to mention the latest released version as a link to the
recent tarball as well - but this has changed now.

So I will probably switch back for the moment to parse the ftp directory
directly which works until you create 0.6.  In the meantime you might
consider creating a page which links to the latest tarball again (and
please make sure not tor provide outdate information like [3] - it is
probably better to remove the page completely if it is not presenting
the real status.

Kind regards

     Andreas.

I surmise Sebastian had cloned [3] from yet another page [5]. However I have now updated both [4] and [5] making either suitable for uscan. Maybe though I broke your parsing (sorry) so please advise if you need some syntax restored. Alternatively if Karsten and Sebastian are happy with my tweaks, these pages may be stable in their current format going forward and simply being updated as appropriate.
