The uscan tool ceased to work for the octave-forge pacakges. It seems to be
a permanent error in the QA script and it yields the following error message:
$ uscan --verbose
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:
http://sf.net/octave/bim-(.+)\.tar\.gz
uscan warning: In watchfile debian/watch, reading webpage
http://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/octave/ failed: 500 Can't connect to garr.dl.sourceforge.net:80 (connect: timeout)
-- Scan finished
I propose to change the debian/watch files according to the patch below. It
will be faster and guaranteed to work. If nobody objects I will make the
changes in SVN soon.
