Tagging Builds
--------------
It is useful to distinguish between release and development builds. Add a
:file:`setup.cfg` file to configure these options.
[egg_info]
tag_build = .dev
tag_date = 1
[aliases]
release = egg_info -RDb ''
Running ``python setup.py sdist`` will create a development package
with ".dev" and the current date appended: ``flaskr-1.0.dev20160314.tar.gz``.
Running ``python setup.py release sdist`` will create a release package
with only the version: ``flaskr-1.0.tar.gz``.
