I've looked it up, and it seems Fedora does something sort of like it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring In any case, you're right that I can't access https://github.com/suntong001/histring/archive/, but I can still access your release tarballs at https://github.com/suntong001/histring/releases! I've made a sample d/watch: version=3 opts=dversionmangle=s/-[0-9]//,uversionmangle=s/-[0-9]// \ https://github.com/suntong001/histring/releases /suntong001/histring/archive/(.+)\.tar\.gz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
