Re: Uscan no longer works with GitLab tags

https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch#Gitlab[1]

"From 2024/03 above solution do not work anymore since Gitlab changed their tag

version=4
opts=\
searchmode=plain,\
   https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/PROJECTID/releases 
archive/v?\d[\d.]+/<project>/-v?
([\d.]+)@ARCHIVE_EXT@

Looks like you aren’t the only one with this problem.  ;)
