Package: devscripts

I tried V5 with this V4 watch file
version=4
opts=dversionmangle=auto,\
      pgpsigurlmangle=s/$/.asc/,\
      searchmode=plain \
      https://api.github.com/repos/libarchive/libarchive/releases?per_page=100 \
      
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/releases/download/@ANY_VERSION@/[^/]+tar.gz

Upstream seems to use the releases pages for distributing release and pgp

I think this should be supported but I do not achieve to get something working

Hi,

you just have to use "Release-Only: yes" with Github template
