+- Convert to use a proper git source _service:
+  + To update, one just needs to update the commit/revision in the
+    _service file and run `osc service dr`.
+  + The version of the package is defined by the commit date of the
+    revision, followed by the abbreviated git hash (The same
+    revision used before results thus in a downgrade to 20210118,
+    but as this is a alltime new package, this is acceptable.
