Could you please make the tag regularly after every update?

@levlam The use case for tags is that some Linux OS (like termux)will only package software that has associated release tags so that there is a direct download link for the tarball containing the source files (they don't use Git to clone repositories).

By not adding release tags for your p atch releases in the 1.8 series, users of apps that leverage tdlib on Termux will never have the most up to date version of the library. This is blocking my use of telega.el specifically because it expects a version of tdlib greater than 1.8.20, but I'm sure it will cause problems for many others.

Since it's not costly from a time or effort perspective to create a tag for each version bump and there are some out there who do need it, could you please reconsider?

The Termux package manager doesn't support multiple versions of the same library, therefore it is impossible to use the package manager to get the version of TDLib required by telega.el anyway.

Can you build the required version manually?

I can build.but my phone become very hot

[levlam]

You can use adjust the number of threads used for building. The building is needed at most once in a month, so it shouldn't be an issue. Other Telegram apps are distributed with bundled dependencies and doesn't require to build them only because of this.

Why tf can't you create new tag?

[aicynide]

Just create a tag already
