Uwe L. Korn commented on ARROW-379: ----------------------------------- Pulling the source code from git instead of a tarball via HTTP in the pyarrow recipe might solve this issues as this should enable {{setuptools_scm}} to determine the version. Sadly you cannot determine a version from non-tagged git archives. An extreme workaround is to set {{SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION}} to force a version from the outside but that should really be the last resort. > Python: Use setuptools_scm/setuptools_scm_git_archive to provide the version > number > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-379 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-379 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Python > Reporter: Uwe L. Korn > Assignee: Uwe L. Korn > Labels: newbie > > Instead of relying on a hardcoded string, it would be better to infer the > version number from the SCM. This would get rid of the custom code in the > release script (which I'm not sure if it is actually working) and also > provide better (i.e. increasing) dev-versions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
