minversion should return true for a final release if required version is 1.00dev #5814
Description
I'm trying to update the conda-forge package with numpy 1.12, conda-forge/astropy-feedstock#7
This fails because of the function call minversion('numpy', '1.12dev'). There is a type Error in the final comparison. I assume parse_version doesn't strip the dev. I would be nice if minversion would allow that minversion('package', '1.00dev') returns true if the release version of the package is installed.

In the short term, that comparison should be changed to not have the dev anyway since Numpy 1.12 is out, and in the long term we should also prevent this kind of issue.

The numpy version is already fixed in master. This would help only in future releases that work check for numpy 1.13dev before it's released.
