Oops, sorry Mathias, I didn' intend to be rude. Please don't feel
offensed. My concern was about JJ question, not about the content of
the page.

Talking here about this page, is a bit off-topic but I think better
here than nothing.

I admit I should have contributed. Because I endlessly answered the
same questions about installation, I maintain a script to automate it
and found easier to maintain a script than a documentation.

Nevertheless, I don't need to be convinced that understanding is
better than launching a script and a Debian installation documentation
makes sens.

When you install Trytond on a Debian server, you need to
- install postgresql and configure it
- install "external applications" like UNO and probably LibreOffice
- install Trytond software, modules and their dependencies

We may agree on a safe process to do it and get a working server.
At the end of the document, I read "It is highly recommended to run
pip on Debian systems in a virtual environment. You have been warned."
I share this point of view, and think this is the process we should
describe first in beginner's installation documentation JJ asked for.
Probably a list of the commands we use during this process would help.

I have no opinion about packages because I don't use them. I'm afraid
of an unsafe installation to run trytond as root and of automated
package updates, out of my control. Am I right ?
And I think pip is more stable and predictable than hg repositories
which will be the option for developpers, but this is another story.

After a second thought, I am reconsidering my initial point of view,
and I think we should improve access to documentation, even when this
documentation can still be improved. If you think that a wiki can be
phased with software versions, as an installation manual must be, then
it is maintainable for me and I have no more concern on the issue.
