[14:50:12] <sumanah> jaraco: I am curious about https://pypi.org/project/pmxbot/#history and the version numbers

[14:51:42] <jaraco> When I inherited the project, the version numbers were 1000, 1001, 1100, ...

[14:52:14] <jaraco> Which I think the developer used as a means of having single-integer, monotonically increasing versions.

[14:52:51] <jaraco> But when we adopted semver, due to the prior releases already having released those versions, we had to start at whatever was the largest major version.

[14:55:14] <jaraco> I know there is a concept of an epoch, where a package can reset its version number for a new epoch, but I don’t think that concept is fully instrumented in the packaging tools, so I’ve just maintained the convention of the existing version numbers, despite their awkwardness.

[14:55:29] <sumanah> Thanks for clarifying, jaraco!

[14:55:38] <sumanah> I totally understand now.
