Now, about the whole git subree extraction process, why does it matter at all? -> if you use the bzr revno as the minor number, as we group modules together because we have no decent packaging (it's a vicious circle, you see?), you'll have minor increment every time there is a commit, even a commit that touch only other modules. Just the same issue as http://assertive.io/blog/0-openerp-packages today. Let's that that can be OK for a bootstrap installation, but that makes the minor version useless then because it doesn't reflect if a module changes or not. On the contrary, if we first do some automated git subtree extraction BEFORE putting the revision number as the minor version number in __openerp__.py or setup.py, then it really reflects if the module changed or not. Now imagine an ideal world: 1) we slowly set that process of getting module packages automatically with proper minor revision numbers. 2) THEN, this is terrific, WE DO HAVE A DECENT PACKAGING SYSTEM(assertive or a an equivalent system) for deployment or development/tests 3) AS we do have that packaging system, we can finally do like any successful modular system project do: we can start having modules being developed in their own branches (no matter the forge, but git would make it easier as it is where we get the minor number) because suddenly we don't have issues to explicit a given modules works with this given set of dependencies because we can finally pin them properly and get them installed automatically without reinventing the wheel. Am I the only one to see these 1) 2) and 3) steps as the only path to productivity with OpenERP? -- Raphaël Valyi Founder and consultant http://twitter.com/rvalyi <http://twitter.com/#!/rvalyi> +55 21 2516 2954 www.akretion.com
