pip install of tag 0.12 fails

I'm guessing you've fixed something to do with the Git submodules that is still present in the latest tag you have available.

Installing from master doesn't have this issue. Do you need to create a new tag that incorporates whatever the fix is?

Actually, I just noted that the 0.12 tag is from 2018 so you've obviously dropped using tags? What's the best way to pick the latest stable release?

Can you just use PYTHONPATH for your use case? MiSoC doesn't actually require anything from the python packaging systems.

Of course we could use PYTHONPATH, but that defeats one of the main benefits of tagged releases. How do you currently version MiSoC?

Most flows are based on Nix/Git these days so there's been little interest in releases.

So if I wanted to checkout a Git tag of the latest release, what do I use?
