  https://github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB/tags, which
doesn't have asc    
      If that were entirely true then where does the, in this case,
downloaded file ledgersmb-1.5.21.tar.gz.asc from? I'd always thought that
resulted from the GitHub pgpsigurlmangle entry[1], which does point to the
'releases'. And if the final URL is pointed to the 'releases' also, it
fails
because it can't find the *.asc file as it's looking for the wrong file name
and ends up not downloading anything.  That's why it confused me; the form
of watch I ended up using at least downloaded files but still failed due to
the apparently bad downloaded archive.

...
  And I think using upstream http release page is much
simpler for you. 

    I'm inclined to agree and will look at using that site instead.  

    Thanks!
