</div></div>As a library, tripleo-common should not use pre-release versioning like<br>
alphas and betas because of exactly the problem you've discovered: pip<br>
does not allow them to be installed by default, and so we don't put them<br>
in our constraint list.<br>
<br>
So, you can keep tripleo-common as cycle-trailing, but since it's a<br>
library use regular versions following semantic versioning rules to<br>
ensure the new releases go out and can be installed.<br>
<br>
You probably do want to start with a 7.0.0 release now, and from<br>
there on use SemVer to increment (rather than automatically releasing<br>
a new major version at the start of each cycle).<br>
<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>OK, thanks. We need to determine now whether to release 7.0.0.0b1 as 7.0.0, or release current master:</div><div><a href="http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tripleo-common/log/">http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tripleo-common/log/</a><br></div><div><br></div></div><br></div></div>
