Update get_package_version() to include the short milestone tags.
Review Request #11475 — Created Feb. 19, 2021 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Historically, our
get_package_version()
method has returned
alpha/beta versions as, say,3.0.21alpha1
or3.0.21beta1
. However,
Python packages usea
instead ofalpha
andb
instead ofbeta
,
which leads to a warning every time we build a package. Worse, that
difference means we can't reliably call this function to get a suitable
verison string for matching a package filename.This change updates this method to use the shortened
a
andb
tags
instead.
Built a package and saw the correct filename, without warnings.
Used this in an upcoming change to correctly match a generated package
filename.
