--------------------------------------
Summary: [Packaging] Bump the minor part of the automatically
generated version in crossbow
Key: ARROW-9014
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9014
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Packaging, Python
Reporter: Krisztian Szucs
Assignee: Krisztian Szucs
Fix For: 1.0.0
Crossbow uses setuptools_scm to generate a development version number using git
describe command. This means that it finds the latest {{reachable}} tag from
the current commit on master.
The minor releases are created from the master branch whereas the patch release
tags point to commits on maintenance branches (like 0.17.x) which means that if
we already have released a patch version, like 0.17.1 then crossbow generates a
version number like 0.17.0.dev{number-of-commits-from-0.17.0} and bumps its
patch tag, eventually creating binary packages with version 0.17.1.dev123.
The main problem with this is that the produced nightly python wheels are not
picked up by pip, because on pypi we already have that patch release available
and pip doesn't consider 0.17.1.dev123 newer than 0.17.1 (with --pre option
passed).
So to force pip to install the newer nightly packages we need to bump the minor
version instead.
