Emacs 30.0.91 pretest is available

[Andrea Corallo]

Hello all!

The first pretest for what will be the 30.1 release of Emacs (the
extensible text editor) is now available at:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-30.0.91.tar.xz

The tarball is signed; you can get the PGP signature file at:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-30.0.91.tar.xz.sig

Please give it as much testing as you can.

As always, if you encounter problems building or using Emacs,
send a report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org with full details
(if possible, use M-x report-emacs-bug).

Thanks for helping to test Emacs.

--------------------------------------

To verify that the tarball is intact, download both the .sig and
the tarball, and run this command:

  gpg --verify emacs-30.0.91.tar.xz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys \
    12BB9B400EE3F77282864D18272B5C54E015416A

You can also run sha1sum or sha256sum and confirm that these
checksums match:

SHA1  emacs-30.0.91.tar.xz
d7cef700cde7406887e764458f7fb01b7968e479

SHA256  emacs-30.0.91.tar.xz

Any particular reason why the series starts with .91 instead of .90
this time?

Boring technical reasons: the emacs-30.90 tag was pushed to Git
upstream several days ago, and making the tarball took all that time
because we had a problem to find and fix.

Yep, I'd be for removing the unused tag as well given we have not
published a corresponding tarball.
