stop ferdium getting nightlies

[philclifford]

or betas. Adding latest to the github sorts it.
So does grep -v
Also the version string needed rework

Closes #772

I have tested the above implementation locally and it works.

deb-get install ferdium
  [+] Updating /var/cache/deb-get/ferdium.json
/var/cache/deb-get/Ferdium-linux-6.2.6 100%

After the installation and a deb-get update, this error still occurs:

dpkg: error: version 'https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app/releases/download/v6.2.6-nightly.9/Ferdium-linux-6.2.6-nightly.9-amd64.deb' has bad syntax: epoch in version is empty

Thanks for the feedback @abacao, but I'm not seeing that error any more.

I have tested the above implementation locally and it works.

using 99-local.d or how ? (If you edit the definition in the 01-main.d repo manually it'll be replaced when you do a deb-get update)

/var/cache/deb-get/Ferdium-linux-6.2.6 100%

that's not the right release, it's the nightly - I just ran this branch version and installed 6.2.4 without error ...

dpkg: error: version 'https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-app/releases/download/v6.2.6-nightly.9/Ferdium-linux-6.2.6-nightly.9-amd64.deb' has bad syntax: epoch in version is empty

Clearly didn't use the latest tag or omit the 'nightly' as instructed so I don't think this implementation can have been in effect. If you deb-get show ferdium it will say which definition it uses, and then looking at the mentioned repo : /etc/deb-get/<repo>.d/ferdium will be the implementation in effect.

The grep -v is really belt-and-braces since latest will not have those they have tagged as pre-release- it is currently only offering 6.2.4
