Mxdev and pip option --install-option="--pre"

Plone Support Add-on Development

with a mx.ini

[settings]
requirements-in = requirements.txt
requirements-out = requirements-mxdev.txt
contraints-out = constraints-mxdev.txt
version-overrides =
    filelock==3.11.0

[Zope]
url = https://git@github.com/zopefoundation/Zope.git
branch = fix-issue-with-plone.restapi

if i run mxdev -c mx.ini mxdev generate a requirements-mxdev.txt with this piece of configuration

-e ./sources/Zope --install-option="--pre"

but this make problems in my ci enviroment.

I notice ''--install-option" is deprecated or removed in pip 23.1. Is there an alterantive? Or should i correct the requirements-mxdev.txt via sed command?

perhaps @jensens has a opnion or solution?

I have a fix already local, but it lacks deeper testing. I'll prepare a PR soon.
Meanwhile you can pin to pip==23.0.1 (constraints.txt) and if you use a Makefile then update the pip install pip ... line to @${PYBIN}pip install -U "pip==23.0.1" wheel setuptools.

Thanks @thet and @fredvd for fixing.

I released mxdev 3.0.0b3 with the fix included.
