I tweeted yesterday because I tried to install both SEPA credit transfer 
from lp:banking-addons and the "clever" import/reconcile of bank 
statement from the "bank-statement-reconcile" banch at a customer site, 
but it failed. After some discussions with my collegue Sebastien, I 
figured out that, at Akretion, we never installed both the SEPA Credit 
Transfer module and the bank-statement-reconcile modules on the same 
OpenERP DB. This is a very absurd situation even inside Akretion France :
- the customers that Sebatien looks after have the import of bank 
statements, but not the SEPA credit transfer / direct debit
- the customers that I look after have the SEPA credit transfer / direct 
debit, but not the import of bank statement
None of Akretion France customers have both !!! I guess it is the same 
situation with other integrators.

I do not follow the development of the bank-statement-reconcile branch, 
but a rapid look at it seems to show that the developers of 
bank-statement-reconcile-70 branch don't work on the main banking-addons 
branch, and the developers of the main banking-addons branch don't work 
on the bank-statement-reconcile branch. This may explain why the 
bank-statement-reconcile branch is still not merged in the main 
banking-addons branch. Do you know other reasons ?

I made a quick test with the following branches :
lp:banking-addons/7.0
lp:banking-addons/bank-statement-reconcile-7.0 
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ebanking-addons-team/banking-addons/bank-statement-reconcile-70>

If you try to install modules from both branches, you will get 
conflicting views :
- In account_banking/account_banking_view.xml line 181, the field 
"period_id" is removed from the tree view of account.bank.statement.
- In 
bank-statement-reconcile-70/account_statement_ext/statement_view.xml 
line 87, the field "period_id" is also removed from the tree view of 
account.bank.statement.

There may be other conflicts, I don't know. Maybe it's just this one and 
it can be solved very easily.

So we really need to work on merging the bank-statement-reconcile-70 
branch in the main "banking-addons" branch. As suggested by Joël, a code 
sprint on this issue would be great. Of course, a code sprint "in real 
life" is always better. I'll very probably attend FOSDEM (February 1-2 
2014) with Sebastien... so if some of you also go there, we could find a 
few hours there to work on this and move forward.
