Comment 4 for bug 798293

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.69ubuntu2
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/uscan
Tags: patch

A few (admittedly very few) upstreams host their files on S3.
By default, S3 does not do apache like file listings, but instead gives
file listing in XML format.

uscan can be modified to allow watch files that reference these listings.

Attached is a suggested patch.
See also ubuntu bug 798293 (http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/798293).

There is very little chance for false positives, and the content that is
found in s3 bucket listings is well defined so it is not likely to stop
working. Before considering the content to be an S3 bucket listing, it
checks:
 a.) that the file begins with "<?xml"
 b.) that it contains the string
     'xmlns=http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/'
