Thanks Philip,

Even better than this URL would be a link to an issue/bugreport
requesting the version number be added in the file.

I'll update both the smartparens and the haskell-mode package
specification to add those links.

It has been requested to remove haskell-mode for now, because the
maintainers are not sure how their release procedure interacts with
ELPA:
https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/issues/1755#issuecomment-896127958

Would there be any issue in just commenting the specification out?

As a side-note, would be make sense to extend elpa-admin to handle git
tags if requested?

Not that I can think of.

No, because tags from one package would collide with tags from
other packages.

Ok, I'll update that then until the upstream repo changes their mind.

I see. There might be the possibility of checking the remote repository
for new tags, without having to clone these into the repository
itself. According to [0] the command

        git ls-remote --tags </url/to/upstream/repo>

could generate such a listing. And in fact,

$ git ls-remote --tags https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode
e72677668f5fc7cc148008e885a0f256e245dd43	refs/tags/17.2
8c49232e5e507cd978aaa5a33cbf8dda7b43518f	refs/tags/2_5_1
72d395fc5fe49834116c0aaeb25d1731fa47d72c	refs/tags/2_5_1^{}
22a963b80c32cd9c16f804341cdbe41c801470e8	refs/tags/2_6
4a16cc3367aa067a71d8dd74bab1d6de45b09bfa	refs/tags/2_6^{}
753421777852b0dde5c8f899ccbd6920c10f2f43	refs/tags/2_6_1
...

gives me a list of commits and tags, that could be sorted to find the
newest version.

I don't want the act of building the tarballs to depend on info which is
not available in the elpa/nongnu Git repository itself.
