Bug#747412: uscan: option to *download* current upstream tarball

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi,

Your request:
 uscan: option to verify current upstream tarball

What uscan do with
  remove locally existing upstream tarball
  add --force-download
  add --download-current-version

This should do:
 uscan: option to *download* current upstream tarball

It seems to work nicely :-) 

$ mv gccintro_1.0.orig.tar.gz gccintro_1.0.orig.tar.gz-keep
$ uscan --force-download --download-current-version
gccintro: Version (1.0) available on remote site:
  http://www.network-theory.co.uk/gcc/intro/src/gccintro-1.0.tar.gz
  (local version is 1.0)
Successfully downloaded updated package gccintro-1.0.tar.gz
Successfully symlinked ../gccintro-1.0.tar.gz to ../gccintro_1.0.orig.tar.gz.

I guess if version needs to be specified, just use --download-version
option, I guess.

Trick is to remove upstream tarball out of your way.

Do you still think we need to add more feature to uscan?

Osamu
