Git tags for v0.6.3.1

[sjakobi]

There's a bit of confusion about the git tag that corresponds to the v0.6.3.1 Hackage upload.

• The v0.6.3.1 and v0.6.3.1a tags still have the wrong package version number in the cabal file.

• v0.6.3.1b has the correct package version number, but doesn't specify any default-language fields:

  $ cabal check
  Warning: The following warnings are likely to affect your build negatively:
  Warning: Packages using 'cabal-version: >= 1.10' must specify the
  'default-language' field for each component (e.g. Haskell98 or Haskell2010).
  If a component uses different languages in different modules then list the
  other ones in the 'other-languages' field.
  Warning: These warnings may cause trouble when distributing the package:
  Warning: 'ghc-options: -O2' is rarely needed. Check that it is giving a real
  benefit and not just imposing longer compile times on your users.
  Warning: Hackage would reject this package.
  

• 97fe43c seems to correspond to the uploaded version, but hasn't been tagged yet.

I'm not sure how to best resolve this. How about we tag 97fe43c as e.g. v0.6.3.1-release to clarify that this is the one?

Yeah, makes sense. I suck at tagging. Please go ahead and do that.

[sjakobi]

No worries @treeowl!

Let's try to be sure that we solve this properly now though.

How about we tag 97fe43c as e.g. v0.6.3.1-release to clarify that this is the one?

@fumieval What do you think about this idea?

[fumieval]

Sounds good to me

[sjakobi]

I've made a proper GitHub release to give this tag a bit more authority. ;)

I wonder whether we should delete the other tags?!

[treeowl]

Oh, is that a thing we can even do?

[treeowl]

Looks like yes! Done. Wish I'd known that......

[sjakobi]

Cool! :)

Note that AFAIK it's a bit of a no-no to reassign published tags. We've avoided that here though.

BTW, I used this SO answer to delete the removed tags from my local repo: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5373319/1013393
