For this the upstream maintainer provides appmenu-gtk-module as a separate tarball for download at [1]. So the watch file should achieve downloading this exact tarball, i.e. https://gitlab.com/vala-panel-project/vala-panel-appmenu/uploads/6c0332e34c41e 99de5a1db1fc4239de2/appmenu-gtk-module-24.02.tar.xz Only chew on this if you really want to nut-crack it. I have burnt quite a few brain cells on it yesterday and failed (which does not mean you will also, but be warned, the solution does not seem trivial, however, maybe it is).That is indeed complex as the tarball is only available as an upload the developer has manually added to GitLab and not as one of the standard release tarballs generated byGitLab.If GitLab weren’t being a punk and would present the same HTML a browser gets to uscan(or wget) when pulling up: https://gitlab.com/vala-panel-project/vala-panel-appmenu/-/releases[1]it would be easy. But GitLab is presenting what amounts to a login screen to uscan instead.You might be able to resolve the situation by switching to using Git to download a tag and then producing a tarball locally from that, but I don’t know how to have uscan produce a tarball from just a subdirectory in Git. Perhaps one of the people who are currently advocating using git instead of pre-packaged tarballs on devian-devel would have an ideaof how to do that.
Thanks for taking a closer look. I'll need to find some quiet moment and then do a manual re-packaging in d/rules, I guess. Just like the really old way that @onlyjob in Debian wiki years ago.
