While uscan now supports checking remote git repositories, it relies on git tags to find new releases so that feature isn't useful to you. You might be able to use pagemangle or one of the other new features to hack around this, depending on the content of the github HTML. The best would be to convince upstream to do proper releases (with tags and tarballs) and sign the commits, tags and tarballs with OpenPGP. https://wiki.debian.org/debian/watch#Cryptographic_signature_verification https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices At worst you could set yourself calendar reminders for every Friday/Saturday. If you want more specific info, you would need to mention a crucial detail; which github project is this? -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
