Yann,
	I am by no means an expert with Gar.
but if you change or add
# We define upstream file regex so we can be notified of new
# upstream software release

UFILES_REGEX = $(GARNAME)-(\d+(?:\.\d+)*).tar.bz2

to match the "NEW" schema it will pick up the new version as released upstream

Thanks,
Mike
