Version number: install from git archive

[dgoeries]

Hi,

we did try to install by source and noticed that the version is not set correctly (0.0.0). It also appeared that we did not get the corresponding code. Without further checking, our unit tests act differently when installing from source and not via pip or conda.

where did you get the source from?

Installing from a clone of the repository definitely works, but it is known that github's source tarballs do not – they're essentially the output of git archive which breaks setuptools_scm. We could fix that using setuptools_scm_git_archive, though.

Thanks a lot, yes the pypi seems to work now. Looks like we had a conflict. Would be great to have a number indicator what is installed :-).

I'm not sure I understand ... can you elaborate?

[dgoeries]

Sorry, I mean the version number

[keewis]

oh, okay. The version number can be fixed using setuptools_scm_git_archive. Can you reopen this issue and rename it to something like "install from git archive"? That would make tracking this a bit easier.

[dgoeries]

yes of course, thanks again!

[keewis]

great, thanks
