[emms-help] Stable tag for v4 series?

[Alex Bennée]

Hi,

I was looking for emms in Melpa Stable and couldn't find it so I started
investigating the repo/web-site to see if I could add the recipe. I
discovered the v3.0 tag is around 9 years old and there didn't seem to
be a v4.0 tag associated with the recent* release.

Any chance a new stable release could be tagged?

*recent being 2014.

I don't mind slapping a 4.0 tag on a July 2014 commit, but Emms doesn't
really use point releases. We keep the git master stable.

I can also tag the current head as 4.1.

Ultimately, I'd just as well not tag anything.

What do people think?

For users of MELPA stable you need some sort of tag to release from.
While it is possible to mix and match melpa-stable/melpa a lot of people
don't.

FWIW I track melpa on my main machine but only melpa-stable on my other
boxen so I don't get surprised by a broken emacs when I access them
because of a random change.
