May you please create a tag for release? #4

Good evening,

Tonight I am writing to humbly put in a request for you to tag this project.

The reason is that a lot of users want to rely on the most "stable" release, by the most broad definition of the term. For me, it is really simple, I am setting up a "stable" Emacs configuration of my system here https://github.com/grettke/home/blob/master/.emacs.el and I would like to rely 100% upon MELPA Stable http://stable.melpa.org/#/ .

I've used your package for a long time, love it, and so do many, many others. This is a way to get that project out to the other thousands and thousands of users who also rely upon MELPA stable.

All it takes is for you to create a tag, and within hours, it will show up on MELPA stable.

Can't wait to hear about what you think and whether or not a tag is in this project's future!

Kind regards,

Grant Rettke

P.S.

Your package does something very specific, and it does it very, very, very well. It is a big part of my daily life and many thousands of others. Making it available with a tag will open the door for many other thousands, thanks so much.

I see no reason not to tag it. It's not like it adds man-months of administrative overhead ;) I'll take care of it later today.

@pitkali Thank you, and have a great day.

pitkali commented 9 years ago

Is that good enough?

grettke commented 9 years ago

Beautiful, it should show up soon. I'll keep my eye open for it.

grettke commented 9 years ago

For some reason, it has not yet shown up. Usually it just takes a couple of hours. Eg http://melpa.org/#/pos-tip vs http://stable.melpa.org/#/pos-tip .

I will keep my eye open for it.

Hmm, maybe it needs to be tagged with version number, rather than just stable. Suddenly I remembered that git tags are immovable.

grettke commented 9 years ago

I've been searching for a spec, because I too was wondering.

pitkali commented 9 years ago

I created a new tag with version number, and it seems to show up at the site.

grettke commented 9 years ago

It does. Thank you sir.
