You've of course pinpointed the problem with manually generated
"temporary" workarounds.

As in:

# Temporary LibCoAP URL is a fork of the original.
# Once a pull request is merged, change this back to the obgm original
below.
libcoap_repo_url    = 'https://github.com/dthaler/libcoap'
#libcoap_repo_url    = 'https://github.com/obgm/libcoap'


but there's no "inotify watch" :) set up to tell people when stuff has
changed in a positive way so this should be changed back.

Temporary becomes... a long time, because people are focused on other
stuff once something is working.

I guess for this one it's time?
