Consider the following watch file content:

version=3
http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/(\d+)-(\d+)\.(\d+)/ .*/abinit-([\d.]+)\.tar\.gz$

So there is some recursive scanning involved. Now it picks up the wrong
version (debug output):

uscan debug: matching pattern (?:(?:http://www.abinit.org)?\/downloads\/packages\/)?(\d+)-(\d+)\.(\d+)
- -- Found the following matching hrefs (newest first):
     http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/7-0.5 (7..5)
     http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/7-0.4 (7..4)
     http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/7-0.3 (7..3)
     http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/7-10.4 (7.10.4)

     http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/7-2.2 (7.2.2)
     http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/7-2.1 (7.2.1)
uscan debug: newest_dir => '7-0.5'
uscan debug: requesting URL http://www.abinit.org/downloads/packages/7-0.5/
uscan debug: redirections: 
uscan debug: received content:

Now why does it do that? Further why does it output "7..5" instead of "7.0.5"
in the output above? Might this be related to the wrong result?

Regards, Daniel
