lsst_versions
This package is used to calculate a version dynamically from a Git repository when it is being built by pip
.
It is not needed for EUPS-only packages, and the calculated package version will be pip
-compatible and thus differ from that produced by EUPS's pkgautoversion
.
It avoids the need to hard-code and continually update a version string.
It assumes the use of LSST DM release and tagging practices.
