Re: Branch Saas and stable 7.0

 

Yes this feature is quite small it's located in account_analytic_analysis.py
recurring_* feilds and account.analytic.invoice.line.

We plan to improve this feature a bit to allow choosing between SO or invoice, discount on lines, and optional pro-rata temporis invoicing on lines.

Thanks Anthony, I hope that theses precisions will also be useful to others
and help understand your development process. So saas branch are really the
future V8, really interesting.

About my case, unfortunately I can't wait for V8 but it's clear it would be
safer to stick to OCB branch. Maybe I'll follow the Raphael advice (thanks
Raphael :) ), and try to extract and backport the feature.

    Dear OpenERP Community,

    As we can see on launchpad, theses days a new saas-3 branch has been
    created by OpenERP SA, following their process described here :
    http://help.openerp.com/question/36712/what-is-the-difference-between-trunk-saas-1-and-saas-2-versions-in-launchpad/.

    My concern is, I need to use a feature which is actually only available
    in the saas branch, the recurring invoicing. I'm using actually the OCB
    branchs for this project.

    I'd like to know if the publication of this saas-3 means that the stable
    7.0 will also be updated, either with the code from saas-2 branch or
    saas-3. In general, is the position of OpenERP SA to update the stable
    branch with features from saas from time to time or do we have to wait
    for the next major version (here V8) to get the early features which are
    in Saas?

    Thank you for your opinions, following them I'll decide either to go on
    Saas branch or wait for stable 7.0 (and then upgrade to OCB branch when
    it'll be updated). If you know a good community module which allow the
    recurring invoices (And please, not subscription module :) ), this could
    also allow me to stay on OCB branch.

    Best Regards,
    Yannick Buron.


Hello Yannick,

during this period of time when OpenERP trunk is said to be too unstable to
be deployed outside of a SaaS, my advise is to use git-subtree to extract
key features as individual modules that can be backported alone without too
much effort (pre-pended in your addons-path then). For instance, I think
this is absolutely the case with recurring invoice while it wouldn't be
reasonnable for quant based stock management.

I explained the idea and gave 2 examples here of such backport. Please don't
hesitate to suggest pull request if you see room for improvement or re-synch
with upstream.

Again, I'm all behind sticking with bzr with OCA and core of OpenERP, right
now, it's just that I think git is so much more appropriate for these
synchronized extractions.

Regards.
