+* [ ] Make sure the needed helmRelease fields for renovatebot are in place and
+      order, i.e.
+      ```
+      # renovate: registryUrl=https://helm-charts.wikimedia.org/stable/
+      chart: eventrouter
+      version: 0.3.6
+      ```
+
+      **Note**: the order of these lines is important for renovatebot's regular expression to match them.
+
+      For adding the registryUrl automatically, you could use the
+      [renovate-helm-releases](https://github.com/k8s-at-home/renovate-helm-releases)
+      script:
+
+      ```

+      /tmp/renovate.py --cluster-path flux2

+      checks for app updates **after the new app is merged into the main branch**
