Tag a release #6

Hi @rcedgar, thanks for publishing MUSCLE on GitHub! I'm working on updating the MUSCLE package on Bioconda. Bioconda strongly recommends using releases (or at least Git tags) in package recipes, which is also general good practice for reproducibility. Would you please be able to tag a release on GitHub?

rcedgar commented 3 years ago

Hi @nsoranzo thanks for the feedback! Implementing releases per standard github conventions is on my to-do list, but it will probably be a while before I get to it as I'm working on extensive improvements to the algorithm. It's premature to update muscle in widely-used distributions such as Debian and Bioconda, this should be regarded as an experimental/beta release which has yet been widely tested in practice.

OK, thanks for the reply! I'll mark the Bioconda update as Work In Progress for the time being.

Just saw your online talk about MUSCLE v5, and came to check if it was shipping on Bioconda! 📦 🐍

For what it's worth, the bioRxiv preprint has already been cited, and you could tag a release candidate as v5.0.1428-rc.1 to show it's still in beta.

v5.0.1428 is out, closing.
