Author fix watch file for sourceforge software

Hi,
if you want to fill a watch file or u want to fix your Dehs status[1]
please, for upstream software on sf.net doesn't use
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/.

For example egroupware:

version=2
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/...are/eGroupWare-(.*).tar.gz

But it is better (so it can really download package and also extract upstream changelog):

version=2
ftp://ftp.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/e/...are/eGroupWare-(.*).tar.gz

Cheers

Of course. But when failling to guess the correct location, why do you
print the full copyright ?

That's why I was wondering why I saw the copyright there...

Because this package doesn't has a Watch file. Dehs Wwiz tried to
generate one from you copyright file, but it doesn't find any valid url
for trying to generate it. So po4a is in a "NotMatch" status and when
you click notmatch you can see the copyright file for manually find a
download url and manually create a valid Watch file and put it in your
package.
In this case the copyright file is:
This package was written by Martin Quinson martin.quinson@tuxfamily.org
and
Denis Barbier barbier@debian.org on Sat, 16 Nov 2002 19:28:48 +0200.

Copyright: GPL (see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL)

I think it is hard to find a download site from here Probably need to google-it.

Cheers,
Stefano
