Well the reason for zip before unzipped might be because OpenERP was proposing to "Import module" as a .ZIP file in 4.2 and 5.0.
And in this case the assumption is that the imported ZIP module should take precedence on the installed (not zipped) module. However I agree that it is deprecated now, and the behaviour you propose looks more sane. I did not know you were already working on a patch. The merge proposal covers the point 2 and also the other bug 928507. I refactored the utility while preserving as much compatibility as possible (and keeping an eye on Win32, even if I don't run it). It is very easy to adapt it to cover point 1 too (loading from directory first, from zip second). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP Indian Team, which is subscribed to OpenERP Server. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928376 Title: file_open is not safe and performs too many useless syscalls Status in OpenERP Server: In Progress Bug description: It happens with 5.0 and certainly with 6.1 too. When you update the list of modules, the application calls: tools.file_open(terp_file) And file_open will browse all the parents of the "addons_path" for a zip file ... I've added a statement to trace the call to "open()" : open('/home/florent/erpdemo/parts/openerp-server/bin/addons/account.zip', 'rb') open('/home/florent/erpdemo/parts/openerp-server/bin/addons.zip', 'rb') open('/home/florent/erpdemo/parts/openerp-server/bin.zip', 'rb') open('/home/florent/erpdemo/parts/openerp-server.zip', 'rb') open('/home/florent/erpdemo/parts.zip', 'rb') open('/home/florent/erpdemo.zip', 'rb') open('/home/florent.zip', 'rb') open('/home.zip', 'rb') open('/.zip', 'rb') This behaviour is seen on module installation or upgrade too. It is probably a security issue which impacts performance as well.
