Example of patches in RDO: https://github.com/redhat-openstack/nova/commit/a19939c8f9a7b84b8a4d713fe3d26949e5664089 https://github.com/redhat-openstack/python-keystoneclient/commit/e02d529a87aef8aaca0616c8ee81de224bf1f52a https://github.com/redhat-openstack/neutron/commit/85302b75362df30270383e3a373e60e81b1b2384 (well, it's always the same change) Can't we enhance pbr to build (source/wheel) distributions of applications which don't depend on pbr? Basically implement these patches in pbr? I read somewhere that pkg_resources may also be used to get the version. Victor
