Hello.  I'm trying to dust off my very dusty skills as a Debian developer.  I tried to build
alire locally but your git repository appears to lack the v1.2.1 tag:

[~/src/debian] git clone https://github.com/stcarrez/alire/

Can you suggest a way forward?  Should I clone another repository instead?
