I'm getting the same error you noted when trying to build twice in a row
getting on the 2nd build - that ./lib/daemon.sh doesn't exist and so
can't be copied.

Good.  I'm still working on it (meaning an updated package).

Fair enough.  The tarball is available at this link:

http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/download/3.5.3/wrapper_3.5.3_src.tar.gz?mode=download

So a generalized watch file would need to first look at the contents of
./download/, parse the latest version folder, and then fetch that from
the contents of that version folder.

Thank you,
