That might be more convenient. That being said, Github has a history of regularly mangling with release pages, resulting in hard to track newer upstream version, due to breakage of automatic scans (or I really should dig deeper in the API, but last time I checked, I didn't find the same information on releases depending on the project, or maybe I just didn't look at the right place). > Building the debian package directly from the findimagesupes file > does not set the `$Id` string inside the code.
