I think I've misunderstood the development model. Basically, it is
briefly changed from e.g. version 25-beta to version 25 when it is
released, and then it is changed to 26-beta. So if you're running from
current master, it will always be such a "beta" version.

In this case, we could tag up an old commit and build a package from
that, but I don't think it's worth it. Let's just wait for version 26.

I'm therefore closing this bug report.

In elpa-packages, we have:

    ("paredit"		:url "https://mumble.net/~campbell/git/paredit.git"
     :ignored-files ("check.sh" "genhtml.sh" "test.el"))

But I can't find it on:

    http://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/

However, it is available here:

    https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu-devel/

I guess this has to do with the version number, which is "25beta".  I'm
not sure why it is a beta, as I've been using it for 10+ years with no
issues whatsoever.

Perhaps we should gently ask the developer to bump it to some non-beta
version number, or alternatively accept that as a full release in this
case?
