I like using a version of "0" on my project trunks. I set the release version on release tags. I really wish there was a special version (or a version pattern) that indicated that something is a development version *only* and can't be released. I don't think best practices have been established.
Some of the projects I work on have a setup.cfg which says it's a development version. If you then build it you get the horrid package version with r34567654 in it, and you notice that you shouldn't release it. I then usually delete it in the tag. I guess that's the "official" version of setting the the version to 0. I have no idea if something is better or worse. :) -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64
