Setting to autobuild all tags

[jakirkham]

Would be nice to have a setting for simply autobuilding all tags. Currently one needs to go into the settings and enable these one at a time. By having all tags autobuilt, this would smooth out the release process quite a bit.

Hi @jakirkham! Thanks for the report.

I mean, I understand that you want to create a new tag and make RTD automatically active it and build it. I assume that this would only works for tags since branches make no too much sense to me, right? I like the idea.

Maybe we can add something to the YAML file like

autobuild: tags

or

autobuild: true

or similar.

+1, it would be a very nice new feature. And it would be good if we could also define a maximum number of versions to automatically built, if this is not a version explicitely selected. This would allow to prune old versions automatically.

@stsewd this is something that could be considered in #3878

@humitos I don't understand this very clear :/. This seems like a global setting, those aren't going to be handled on the YAML file. Maybe #4001 is better for this use case (If I believe is this)?

Closing this in favor of #4001 which is closer to start being implemented.
