    Hi Nilesh,

    I don't know how to go about it, but I suspect -devel might be a better list for this since this is a general question and many package maintainers could be using bitbucket sources.

    While I considered debian-mentors@l.d.o usually the proper list to find
    a solution for problems in watch files I agree that this should be made
    public also on debian-devel. It seems quite some packages are affected:

    https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Fwatch+bitbucket&literal=1

    My guess is that most of these watch files might be not working any more.
    May be gitmode as proposed by Juri Grabowski[2] is a promising solution
    (but as I wrote in my response it does not create the link to orig.tar.gz).

    Kind regards

    Andreas.

    the watch file for metabat[1] used to work nicely until some point in
    time when bitbucket replaced `v@ANY_VERSION@` by the commit ID which is
    not sensibly sorting any more. Is there any trick how I can get
    bitbucket pages working again?

    Kind regards

    Andreas.
