Mea Culpa, Renovate for Everything

Renovate does indeed [manage Kotlin Scripting] – since 2022. You can create your configuration for package managers, which must still be added to Renovate’s scope. With `customManagers` using `regex` you can configure Renovated so it finds dependencies that are not detected by its other built-in package managers.

With customManagers using regex you can configure Renovate so it finds dependencies that are not detected by its other built-in package managers.

\ The documentation is good enough, so there's no need to paraphrase it. The point is that you can configure Renovate for every package manager you can think of. Even better, Renovate allows the contribution of new package managers, contrary to Dependabot.

The more I know about Renovate, the more I love it.
