Closed astrofrog closed 11 years ago
Just now I tried creating a new virtualenv on my local computer, running pip install -r docs/pip-rtd-requirements
in a checkout of astroquery, and then python setup.py build_sphinx
. The result was correct - that is, it gave the a revision number of 140-something, rather than the astropy value. So it appears to be something somehow unique to readthedocs...
My statement above seems to hold both in linux and OS X, so I don't think it's a platform thing, either...
To add further to the mystery, the astropy RTD build is giving that same number for latest version ("dev2070"), regardless of what the actual number of commits is (that is, it's no longer changing as commits are made).
This is now fixed by updating to the latest master astropy, so I am closing this.
Somehow, affiliated packages get the dev revision number from astropy in the docs:

I don't have time to look into it for now, but if anyone wants to, please go ahead!
