Another tagged release for Upsilon?

[imadnyc]

Upsilon seems to be an active project, yet it's latest tagged release is older than Omega's latest tag. Is it possible for a stable tag to be created? I want to package this for NixOS, but there's no point if it's older than Omega - I'll just package that. Also, what is the release currently on the web app installer?

Upsilon is newer. Basically Upsilon has 3 release channels: stable, beta and dev. Dev is built every commit and has no themes because that would take far too much resources for something updated very often. Beta is updated every couple of commits when they are stable, and Stable is rarely updated. The latest dev build is a week old, and is stable, but beta is great too if you want themes. Lmk if I didn't answer your question.

Upsilon don't use release from GitHub. Instead, they post theirs releases on Upsilon's website.
I think you will need to build it yourself if you want a specific version

@PetitFrapo @BloomyInDev So it seems that I should just build from beta?

Or build from dev

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but where can I find the beta branch? https://github.com/UpsilonNumworks/Upsilon/branches/all only seems to have an omega-beta branch, which was updated 2 years ago.

Beta files are on Upsilon's website, you just have to scroll
They don't seem to keep a beta branch nor a "stable" branch (idk for the second)

The betas are there : https://github.com/lolocomotive/Upsilon/tree/upsilon-beta, but it should be improved. I don't remember if there is a stable branch. Almost everything is in the upsilon-dev branch, which is almost as stable as others branches, so you could just use this one. On AUR (for Arch Linux), that's what the package does.
I don't remember if Nix require package to be reproducible, but if not, you could just use the upsilon-dev branch as source (and store the commit hash, if you want, but it's already saved automatically).
The spirit of Upsilon is more "rolling release".

Yeah, I wanted to target the beta so that I would have a stable-ish thing to build off of. Thanks!
