Pandas version checks
- I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on
main
here
Location of the documentation
https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/development/contributing_environment.html#
Documentation problem
If you are working from an old fork that doesn't sync tags with pandas upstream, versioneer will install pandas with a really old version tag which other dependencies like pyarrow don't like
Suggested fix for documentation
Add a note that users may want to run git fetch upstream --tags
before installing
