Summary

build release snapshots from tag

Metadata

Description

I've started tagging versions in the git repo and it would be good if the script that builds the snapshot tarball could check and build the highest numbered tag (instead of HEAD, as soon as the version changes).

The development snapshot scripts now checks out the experimental branch, takes the highest numbered tag, and builds the snapshot only if the tag is greater than the version of the current snapshot.

Excellent. But should it build `master`?

I mean: shouldn't it build `master`?

You are right, I had misunderstood the purpose of the experimental branch. I have fixed the script to build from master.
