Hi! The new templates feature in uscan for debian/watch contents greatly streamlines things: Example: Version: 5 Template: Github Author: guimard Project: llng-docker This is a great improvement, thanks for working on it! I was wondering if we could go one step further and use the existing fields in debian/upstream/metatada directly? Or if they don't suffice, extend https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep12/ so that it is enough? This would feel like a very natural place to document how and where upstream publishes releases, and was also proposed in https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/08/msg00147.html Also, if Jelmer is open to it, the upstream metadata could maybe be extended to have a field documenting if upstream publishes signature files or not, and uscan could maybe read that file too when deciding if the new version can be downloaded and trusted or not.
