In setuptools 7 and below this was True. In setuptools 8 and above this is
False.
A bug? Are these tags not supported anymore?
The documentation still mentions them extensively, e.g. in:
https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html#managing-continuous-releases-using-subversion
setup.cfg options are recommended that generate similar versions:
[egg_info]
tag_build = .dev
tag_svn_revision = 1
Am I missing something?
Version numbers are now standardised under PEP 440
(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/). Under that PEP,
post-releases come before pre-releases. "r" represents a post-release
and "dev" a pre-release. So your version isn't a valid PEP 440
version, and gets parsed as a legacy version. Legacy versions then get
sorted before any PEP 440 version, such as 1.0dev.
It looks like the setuptools documentation hasn't been updated
(setuptools now uses PEP 440 versions since 8.0, see
https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/history.html#id48).
OK, thanks.
So what is the equivalent PEP 440 SVN tagged development version? 2.0.dev123? How can I
get setuptools to create that instead? It looks like with the above egg_info setuptools
automatically adds the "-r".

2.0.dev123 is the correct version number to use, setuptools might need
additional updates to it to properly generate those though.
Thanks for the info. Is there a ticket I can follow, or should I create one?
Also, is using tag_svn_revision generally not recommended? It's rather
useful when it works, but it's been a source of problems more than once.
