The above used to successfully download the appmenu-gtk-module tarball
from the vala-panel-appmenu releases page:

Try the attached watch file.

[sunweaver@sunobo vala-panel-appmenu.upstream (master)]$ tree -L 1

This works for vala-panel-appmenu, but not for appmenu-gtk-module. The packaging of vala-panel-appmenu, appmenu-gtk-module and appmenu-registrar is a bit special, because all three packages get built from the same source code tree. [sunweaver@sunobo vala-panel-appmenu.upstream (master)]$ tree -L 1 subprojects/ The appmenu-gtk-module code is a subfolder in upstream vala-panel-appmenu (subprojects/appmenu-gtk-module) and that subfolder was packaged as a separate src:pkg in Debian at the time when it got introduced. 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/6c0332e34c41e99de5a1db1fc4239de2/appmenu-gtk-module-24.02.tar.xz

Thanks,
Mike

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).
