Bug#705989: devscripts: [uscan] Lookup pattern in the text contained in the html a tags as well

[Maximiliano Curia]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.13.0
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

Following my previous patch, I also added a new uscan option, uselinktext,
that makes uscan to also search the version in the text contained in the
<a>...</a>, instead only checking the href value.

A bit of a complex example would be:
version=3
opts=uselinktext,filenamemangle=s!.*/([^/]*)$!xawtv-$1\.tar\.gz!,downloadurlmangle=s!commit/([^/]*)!snapshot/$1\.tar\.gz! \
    http://git.linuxtv.org/xawtv3.git/tags xawtv-([\d.]+)

Thanks and happy hacking,
