> ######################################
> version=3
> http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php \
>   http://downloads\.sourceforge\.net/octave/tsa-([\d.]+)\.tar\.gz\?download
> ######################################

> 
> ######################################
> version=3
> http://sf.net/octave/tsa-(.+)\.tar\.gz
> #######################################
> 
> works like a charm.
> 
> I think we should start using it for our packages.

I just ad a note in the Wiki requiring the SF redirector in the
debian/watch file.
