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! --alec
