[00:48:35] <omry_> question, is the version in https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/master/src/pip/__init__.py maintained manually or automatically?
[00:50:20] <omry_> looking at setup.py, it appears that the version in the __init__.py is the source of truth.
[00:50:30] <omry_> is this like this for towncrier?
[02:02:59] <omry_> is it okay of I steel the text from guiding users on how to create news items from pip for my project? (with possibly minor changes)
[05:48:11] <pradyunsg> omry: FWIW, if you're still wondering, the __init__.py version is maintained manually and is the source of truth for pip. Please feel free to piggy back off of pip's language for that.
[07:04:36] <pombreda> Hi :) can someone help with https://discuss.python.org/t/improving-license-clarity-with-better-package-metadata/ ?
[07:04:55] <pombreda> Discourse is flagging my answers to pf_moore as spam :|
[07:06:02] <pombreda> pradyunsg: do you moderation powers there? (you suggested that I should be using this in the first place instead of distutils-sig ;) )
[07:15:24] <pombreda> dstufft: you are listed as a moderator ^
[07:57:31] <pradyunsg> pombreda: this is something I haven't seen on our Discourse before. Are you able to create a thread on https://discuss.python.org/c/site-feedback? I think if you can, it'd be great if you could flag this there.
[08:07:27] <omry> pradyunsg thanks. I figured it out by now and I integrated towncrier similarly to how it's integrated with pip.
[08:07:37] <omry> I also used the language there as base for my guidance.
