Release maintenance 101

[mpasternak]

Hi,

• support "bumpversion" so you can release new versions easily (pip install bumpversion; bumpversion patch; git push --tags)

• support universal wheel target in setup.cfg

• release target for makefile so you can easily release sdist + wheel at once

credits go to @pydanny and @audreyr for creating cookiecutter-pypackage.

Hi, thanks so much. I don't have time right now to look into it, sorry.
It will be the end of next week before I can do an update.

[interrogator]

Could this include bump2version in setup.py (with version locks) and/or currently non-existent requirements.txt (which would also need to have lxml and six, ideally version locked? It's kind of a dev-only dependency but it's tiny and I think it's a really nice way to manage releases...

Also in an ideal world I think you would add version to src/pyoai/__init__.py with a line like:

__version__ = "x.x.x"

You then add this file to the bumpversion config so that it is updated correctly when you run the bumpverion command, and also, having this here means you can import this variable for use elsewhere. And you can do import pyoai; pyoai.__version__ to see what's current installed. As far as I know, that's the standard way of doing this at the moment.

I'd volunteer to do this if it @mpasternak doesn't have time, and if you guys actually agree to start merging these maintenance PRs :)

[mpasternak]

@interrogator I'm here, but feel free to do that. I really do hope other @infrae guys get their stuff together and start merging PRs. Let me know how it went.

Although I technically have the permissions to merge PRs I will not merge any PR as long as Travis does not checks PRs, and I cannot enable that.

[interrogator]

So we wait on @jascoul 🐈

[jascoul]

@wetneb what is needed for Travis to build PRs? Is it just a change in the .travis.yml?

I feed bad for the project being on hold because of a lack of time on my part.
I would like to have the whole release maintenance sorted out. If you are willing to take the responsibility, I will also add you to Pypi so you can do new releases.

[wetneb]

@jascoul the .travis.yml is fine, it is the Travis integration in GitHub. One easy way to fix it would be to disable the Travis integration entirely in the GitHub project settings, and add it again from Travis. This would set up the integration correctly.

[jascoul]

@wetneb I removed Travis as an authorized app, is that what you meant?

[wetneb]

Yes, and now you should be able to add it back from travis-ci.org.
