As I said, perhaps not clear enough, using the watch file is an obvious
nobrainer. This gives the possibility to scan for new releases.
My gut feeling still is that using get-orig-source and consistent lf
line ends is a better option than wading into a mess of inconsistent
line endings. That said, I'm a newbie, I could try to walk this path.
However, this means reworking large parts of my setup, and I question
the value. It will considerably delay my work.
To be frank, it also effects my motivation.
Cheers!
