[Bug 529310] Re: uscan should remove things like "+dfsg" from the current-version

[Maarten Bezemer]

Thank you for your report.

(Current) versions of uscan are able to 'unmangle' the version. he man page contains an example how to filter '.dfsg' from a version, adapting it to '+dfsg' is not too hard I suppose.
You should take a look at the 'per-site options' and specifically to the 'uversionmangle' option

Please update this report, whether this solves your problem/wish or not.

Title:
  uscan should remove things like "+dfsg" from the current-version

Status in “devscripts” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: devscripts

  My package has a version number like "5.0+dfsg-1", which uscan
  interprets as greater than remote's version:

  lfaraone at Opus:~/Projects/ppt/cmospwd/trunk$ uscan --dehs
  <dehs>
  <package>cmospwd</package>
  <debian-uversion>5.0+dfsg</debian-uversion>
  <debian-mangled-uversion>5.0+dfsg</debian-mangled-uversion>
  <upstream-version>5.0</upstream-version>
  <upstream-url>http://www.cgsecurity.org/cmospwd-5.0.tar.bz2</upstream-url>
  <status>Debian version newer than remote site</status>
  </dehs>

  
  Ideally the +dfsg would be cut out from the version number.
