Osmocom Libraries » libosmocore

When building any osmocom project (from libosmocore on) the make output is interspersed with many instances of

usage: bumpversion [-h] [--config-file FILE] [--verbose] [--list]
                   [--allow-dirty] [--parse REGEX] [--serialize FORMAT]
                   [--search SEARCH] [--replace REPLACE]
                   [--current-version VERSION] [--dry-run] --new-version
                   VERSION [--commit | --no-commit] [--tag | --no-tag]
                   [--tag-name TAG_NAME] [--message COMMIT_MSG]
                   part [file [file ...]]
bumpversion: error: the following arguments are required: --new-version, part

What is going on here? I'm not tagging a new release or bumping any versions. I'm just doing a normal build, and that should neither need bumpversion, nor call it in a way that is a syntax violation that spews help texts to stdout/stderr.

This entire bumpversion story is going on for months now. I had to create Debian packages for it to fix builds. Now this. Honestly, I'm very close to reverting "Change-Id: I790ceb958195b9f6cbabfe8c977dc30e2bd7414b" and related follow-up commits.

Local environment:

bumpversion: v0.5.3 (using Python v3.5.4)
