[platform-testers] Emacs 29.0.90 pretest is available

[Eli Zaretskii]

Hi!

The first pretest for what will be the 29.1 release of Emacs (the
extensible text editor) is now available at:

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz

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

  https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/emacs-29.0.90.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-29.0.90.tar.xz.sig

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

  gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys \
    17E90D521672C04631B1183EE78DAE0F3115E06B

Alternative keyservers to try are keyserver.ubuntu.com and
keys.openpgp.org.

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

SHA1  emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz
2821bea77e8535447e9b98d9f61dde85d19bb8f1

SHA256  emacs-29.0.90.tar.xz
