Description

Originally reported by: ngrilly (Bitbucket: ngrilly, GitHub: ngrilly)


The command egg_ingo, when used with the option tag-date, produces versions in a format similar to X.Y-YYYYMMDD which looks incompatible with PEP 386.

As I understand it, the incompatibility arises from the use of a character '-' before the date.

It causes some problems when tag-date is used in conjunction with more recent tools like "pip wheel".

What is your advice on this?

Thanks :)

Research direction

Start by tracing the egg_ingo command's tag-date option and compare its generated X.Y-YYYYMMDD version with PEP 386 and the pip wheel behavior described here. The issue needs a decision on the compatible version format and confirmation that tag-date works with the affected tooling.
