Any update about how they installed will be welcome.

Yes, but honnestly it will be an easy thing to do: like just change your
symlink. We had much more harder migrations to follow recently, like he
ir_model_data format refactoring for the CSV import/export compat.
We could possibly create a new branch for that, but that need to be simple
to track. Any idea? I'm personally in favor of biting the bullet and doing
the "bzr mv".

Also, I think it's important to showcase our work on "OpenERP Apps"
platform, no matter how amateurish this platform is. Because else you know
like me that there are some shameless companies that will have no shame
uploading any Magento connector fork and try to attract the leads to them
while they didn't make a shit about the project. You see more and more
people using the connector and never mentioning what connector they are
using.
Did you know for example that the old 2008 Smile connector has also
apparently be forked silently by some of those companies and claiming
ownership over it? The good news is that just that the old Smile one, it
doesn't come close to magentoerpconnect (I guess they prostituted themselves
into maintaining somebody that took the old connector or they were to stupid
to understand the abstractions we built in magentoerpconnect.

Actually it makes some sense when you need to pass a module from one branch
to another using bzr. For instance with such a layout you can send tour
module to the extra-addons using bzr-replay, else you cannot.

You are kidding me I suppose ;-)
