Greetings,

According to the current issue under pekwm's package tracker (see:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pekwm), it looks like the 'watch' file
isn't any able to retrieve any upstream version of the required package
(which, from what i have informed myself through the Debian Wiki page
for the 'debian/watch' entry, it's mainly an issue related to Github's
current changes- this having to adopt new methods to retrieve new
upstream versions).

As a way to contribute to the issue, the report has attached a brand new
'watch' file that should be working (this, by following the interested
Debian Wiki entries firsthand as a proper guideline) and retrieve the
current upstream version from the author's Github.

To note further, i have also tested the following file (again, by
following yet another Debian Wiki entry in regard) and it flags no
errors (sadly, i have no idea on how to attach 2 files via reportbug,
but i'll be glad to report the command's output in a reply- if asked).


I hope my contribution to the package will bring a great hand for this
wonderful distribution that is debian!
