icrs.releaser 1.1.0

icrs.releaser

This package provides support for releasing projects using zest.releaser, especially in combination with setuptools_scm.

This package does three things:

• Insert the correct version number in source files.

  It’s helpful for readers of the source code and the documentation when object docstrings contain abbreviated change logs. Sphinx supports this with the special directives versionadded, versionchanged, and deprecated. For example, a docstring might contain:

  .. versionchanged:: 2.0.1
     Now frob the frizzle correctly when *frob_frizzle* is true.

  But the author of the docstring doesn’t always know what the version number that contains the change will ultimately be. In a scheme like CalVer, that will depend on when the release is made, and in a scheme like SemVer, that will depend on what other changes are part of the release. In either case, it can’t be determined until the release is actually made.

  To solve this, this package has a plugin that lets you write your docstrings like so:

  .. deprecated:: NEXT
     Turns out frobbing the frizzle was a bad idea.

  When a release is made, all .py files that are found in the src/<PROJECT>/ directory are examined for those three directives with an argument of NEXT, and the NEXT value is replaced with the version number the user selected.

  The user will be presented a diff of the changes made and asked whether to commit them before continuing.

• Removes C compiler flags from the environment.

  You may have custom C compiler flags in your environment (CFLAGS, etc). These may contain non-portable options such as -ffast-math or -march=native that would prevent binary wheels built on your machine from working on other machines.

  This package removes those flags from the environment that builds binary wheels.

• Makes setuptools_scm respect the version number the user entered.

  zest.releaser asks setuptools what version to use when it tags the repository. It expects to get back the version that the user entered, and which it wrote to disk (typically in setup.py).

  But because setuptools_scm overrides the value stored in setup.py based on the last tag in the repository, this doesn’t work: it would only work if the tag was already made! Instead of getting the correct tag like 0.0.2, zest.releaser wants to create a tag like 0.0.1.dev11+gbeb8b20.

  This package forces setuptools_scm to respect the version that the user entered so that the tag is correct.
