For SDK developers

There is Makefile that can be used to test, build and publish this SDK package. Two primary targets are defined for

• develop - test, build, and install packages locally in development mode. In doing so, a development version is automatically generated and used.
  • This target will try to upload a source distribution of the dev version to our private pypi.
  • Also note that while building, it will copy some MMIF specification files from the HEAD commit and include them in the built artifact. This is intended for testing purpose.
• publish - test, build, and publish a source distribution to the official pypi.
  • In doing so, it make will ask the user for a new version number.
  • Unlike develop target, this process will copy MMIF specification files from the latest matching git tag. See versioning section of the MMIF specification for more details.
