Version in conda metadata wrong

[BenediktBurger]

I'm trying to publish another package on conda-forge (PyLECO, issue: conda-forge/staged-recipes#26052) which depends on your package.

The build pipeline failed as the metadata of your package showed the version "0.0.0.dev0", which is obviously below any reasonable version limit.

Culprit seems to be the following code, as conda-forge does not have the github environment while creating the package:

uuid6-python/setup.py

Lines 15 to 19 in 4f87984

	if GITHUB_REF and GITHUB_REF.startswith(PREFIX):
	prefix_len = len(PREFIX)
	VERSION = GITHUB_REF[prefix_len:]
	else:
	VERSION = "0.0.0.dev0"

I haven't checked if there are some new Python packaging instructions nowadays. Are there some "official" or simple ways to keep these version variables up to date in setup.py without editing the file every time?

The python packaging works (for pypi), but it does not work for conda.
There you have to state the version manually in the project file 🤷 .

I in my package (pyleco) use an additional branch for conda release with a hardcoded version.
