Hi,
i'd like to propose making the work-flow of creating releases by just
pushing vcs tags to a ci system as easy as possible
personally all i ever want to do to release a new version is::
$vcs tag $version
$vcs push
currently that would require various nasty hacks to get the version
meta-data static on sdist and to grab the version number in a setup hook
Maybe you should go the other way: Put the version number in your
source code. Make a short script that picks out the version number and
constructs a tag name for the vcs. Raise an error if the tag already
exists.
This method is easy to implement for your project alone, it is easy to
distribute to others who want to do the same thing, and there are no
nasty hacks involved. For example,
% python tagdist.py
You didn't change the version number!
% emacs setup.cfg
% python tagdist.py
Tagging release 0.0.2
%
If you find it works well in practice, you might then propose to move
the script into "python setup.py tagdist".
