update-upstream-versions fails for poppler due to leading zeros #6021

@pkgw

Description

@pkgw

The autotick bot is unable to find updates to the poppler package. Its source URLs look like this:

https://poppler.freedesktop.org/poppler-26.05.0.tar.xz

I belive the problem is the leading zero in the 05 in the middle of the version. As far as I can tell the updater tries URLs that look like ...-26.6.0.tar.xz, which don't resolve. (These version numbers are based on the current date, i.e. May 2026 above, which is probably where the zero-padding comes from. In principle, I think the ticker could probably handle something like 26.10.0 ⇒ 26.11.0 properly.)

It Would Be Nice™ to have a bot setting in conda-forge.yml that let me give the ticker a hint about this so that it could guess the right URLs. Poppler doesn't appear to use GitHub Releases or some other mechanism that we could use to detect new releases more reliably.
