Nope - still misbehaving about versions as noted in #166 by @dtantono

[philclifford]

In case anyone wants to work around this (not uncommon) problem, if you add a line into the definition with

VERSION_PUBLISHED=${VERSION_PUBLISHED/<github release installed>/<dpkg installed version>}

then when a new release arrives it will be installed, but you'll need to edit the above line (so own repo or 99-local.d override behaviour until some genius writes a self-maintaining self-patching function ...)

I have this in 99-local.d

DEFVER=1
get_github_releases "NicolasConstant/sengi" "latest"
if [ "${ACTION}" != prettylist ]; then
    URL="$(grep "browser_download_url.*\.deb\"" "${CACHE_FILE}" | head -n1 | cut -d '"' -f4)"
    VERSION_PUBLISHED="$(echo "${URL}" | cut -d '-' -f2)"
fi
VERSION_PUBLISHED=${VERSION_PUBLISHED/1.2.0/1.1.4-1087}
PRETTY_NAME="Sengi"
WEBSITE="https://nicolasconstant.github.io/sengi/"
SUMMARY="A Mastodon and Pleroma desktop focused client."

This gives scary but ignorable warnings because the app is currently marked as deprecated because of this behaviour, but otherwise produces

  [*] WARNING! Deprecated package sengi detected. It will no longer receive updates, and keeping it installed is considered unsafe.
  [!] Please remove it with: deb-get purge sengi
