Only a few obstacles remain before this can become a reality:

It would not be recommended for production and not merged back into the official distribution.

Stefan, does this accurately describe the options we discussed?


Thanks Olivier, for highlighting your intentions in this direction again.

My personal gripe is with [3]. I think having an 'unstable' series that does allow the occasional new field to percolate through is a major attraction to OCB. It must be the reason that I remember our conversation at the community days slightly differently: keep the OCB branch in its current form with its current policy, but using technical means to mark merged changes that conform to the OpenERP stable policy so that you can easily feed back bugfixes from OCB to the official series. We have not yet had the chance to work this out.

As for hosting the series branches under openobject-addons, that would be great. I'll gladly give up the separate projects for the ease of having to prepare only a single branch and MP for each fix.

What do the main OCB contributors think about it?

I'm curious to know as well, as the above reflect my personal views only.

Cheers,
Stefan.
