put dependency as submodule and use well-defined version tag?

[easz]

Just a general suggestion:

is it possible to put flre, synapse, rcmdline and internettools as submodules with specific revision/tag?

so that once xidel has a new tag (e.g. 0.9.9), it can be "bundled" with specific revision/tag of dependencies.

For example, I cannot build 0.9.8 easily now, because the latest code from dependencies do not fit to 0.9.8 and I don't know which revision I should use.

It is difficult. I do not actually use the github repositories. I have everything in one big Mercurial monorepository, and upload it through a Mercurial->git converter. I do not know if that can create submodules

I have another big Mercurial repository on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/p/videlibri/code/ci/Xidel%200.9.8/tree/

I also have bundled everything in the release source code: https://github.com/benibela/xidel/releases/download/Xidel_0.9.8/xidel-0.9.8.src.tar.gz
