Deploy Conan develop branch on test.pypi.org

To help us debug your issue please explain:

Hi!

My proposal here is return to use test.pypi.org (used until Conan 0.4.1) when merging a new PR into develop branch. I see no difficult installing Conan on my machine running pip install . but for who wants to install the latest version (non-stable) without git, it could be an good option.

For example, bincrafters-package-tools is uploaded to test.pypi.org for every new change in master branch (we follow github flow), only tags are uploaded to pypi.org. That flow helped me to find many bugs, including missing files in the package.

The version released could be incremental, using the suffix dev as well.

Conan Version: ANY
OS: ANY

• I've read the CONTRIBUTING guide.
• I've specified the Conan version, operating system version and any tool that can be relevant.
• I've explained the steps to reproduce the error or the motivation/use case of the question/suggestion.

I like very much this idea, and it could help a lot to close the loop easier with feedback from users.
Is this possible @lasote ? What would be the complexity?

[lasote]

Hi, yes, I like it too. The complexity is not high, just automate it in jenkins for the develop branch, but a couple things need to be done, and you know, the CI stuff takes time:

1. Mechanism to bump the dev version in our __init__.py file
2. Jenkins job tune: pypi credentials (managed as secret credentials in Jenkins) and deploy when develop

It didn't work!

I fixed it already. The first auto-packages started to show up: https://test.pypi.org/project/conan/#history
