Hello there,

I updated again the gotosocial packages  (see on pkgsrc-wip).

I need a solution to easily track upstream releases in my packaging 
factory.

It seems many packages hosted on github have a TAG variable to track 
github's release tag, I tried to to the same for gotosocial hosted on 
codeberg. Is it OK or is there a reserved variable name for it ?

"

CODEBERG_TAG=   0.22.1

DISTNAME=       gotosocial-${CODEBERG_TAG}-source-code

"

Kind regards,

M33
