Hiya,

Is anyone working with python packages that use versioneer[1]? My
primary issue here is that upstream does not include tests in the pypi
tars, but because they use versioneer and it does all sorts of "magic":

- it is non trivial to figure out what untagged commit on Github matches
   the latest pypi tar release

- even if one does manage to locate the commit, if we use the GitHub
   archives, versioneer cannot get the version information from them:
   https://github.com/warner/python-versioneer/issues/140#issuecomment-292746426

Does any one have any ideas here? I've requested upstream to include
tests in the pypi tars[2], but a way of forcing versioneer to provide the
correct version would be really nice.

I remember it was but it was extremely hard to use anything but the sdist when hacking on nb2plots. See:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-nb2plots/pull-request/2

Overall, versioneer behaves very badly when you try to bend it for RPM packaging. Also, it appears upstream dead and this particular issue is not getting anywhere:

I'd ask upstream if they could consider using setuptools_scm instead.
