# Note: why do we bother including a 'scapy/VERSION' file and doing our
# own versioning stuff, instead of using more standard methods?
# Because it's all garbage.

# If you remain fully standard, there's no way
# of adding the version dynamically, even less when using archives
# (currently, we're able to add the version anytime someone exports Scapy
# on github).

# If you use setuptools_scm, you'll be able to have the git tag set into
# the wheel (therefore the metadata), that you can then retrieve using
# importlib.metadata, BUT it breaks sdist (source packages), as those
# don't include metadata.
