conda-builds with correct version.

@vmuriart so why not versioneer which is also internally used by conda-build? bumpversion has stalled for 2 years and it is also used 10 times less on github:

https://github.com/search?l=Python&q=bumpversion&ref=searchresults&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93
https://github.com/search?l=Python&q=versioneer&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Is it easier to use or has some features?

I forgot to add my reasoning, thanks for the reminder.

versioneer requires that the source code be checked-in with the repository and updated periodically for new updates.

theversion is calculated at runtime withimport versioneer; __version__ = versioneer.get_version() which works great on python script/files but not as well on static files or non-python language files (such as our use case).bumpversion on the other hand statically updates all the files. In the end this is what tipped the scales.

bumpversion has alot of quirks (which I documented for how annoying they were) but in the end was the simpler solution. I gaveversioneer multiple tries but in the end I couldn't integrate it for our use.

can you add instructions to developer docs?

Added the documentation to thewiki.
Just reviewed the search results from above, I think they are a bit skewed sinceversioneer commits itself into each project that uses it and might show up in the results more because of it.
