My watch file was looking at ftp.gnu.org, and that is a flat dir with
all releases ever. Now that I've changed to nano-editor.org, I'm
looking at https://nano-editor.org/dist/v(.*)/nano-(.*).tar.gz.

Can we switch to .tar.xz, while doing housekeeping? Or publish both 
formats.

I've just uploaded 2.6.0 to unstable.
