Re: Could oca adopt report_webkit before v8

 

Yes and no, MP on 7.0 will be forward ported to 8.0. PR on 8.0 will be forward ported to master.

Not sure 100% yet that we want to keep 7.0 on launchpad, odo will take the final decision.

- Always target the correct branch
- Never duplicate PR or MP

Olivier will create a new wiki page contribute.md in the wiki with the full policy.

+1 with Joel and Nicolas

Antony,

What will hapend to my PR for 7.0? Will they be applied to 7.0 but not
automatically pushed into master?

As you still have to support 7.0 it doesn't seems such more work to take care
of report_webkit in master.

report_webkit is used a lot in community. It will take us more than 10 days to
port everything ...

Cheers,

    Is openerp happy to pay oca say 12 euro per user per month? Not supporting
    will be large blocker to v8 adoption, maybe you should release the
    automated migration tool for webkit to qweb reports, might make it easier
    to accept.  Also, We will give discount for first 2 years, more than
    enough time to deprecate.

        +1 For Nicolas's opinion here. I think it's fair in an open source
        project to at least give the community / partner one version to
        convert their work by deprecating something. Please, do not just
        remove that module for v8.0. You already dropped audittrail, project
        long term and some others.

        If I perfectly understand all the reasons that motivate you to drop
        them (trust me;), it's the editor's duty to announce, deprecate and
        then only drop something. If you're not doing so, how can we as
        partners / community rely on you ?

        Thanks for your understanding.


        See you in june !

            Hello Anthony,

            I will just quote you:

            """
            Here is my plan:

            v8:

            we keep "server/report" and "report_webkit" unchanged, but every
            report in our addons are converted to qweb.

            v9:

            we remove "server/report" and "report_webkit" from our
            repository, "report_webkit" will be moved to a community repo
            (like we do for every deprecated module).

            """

            It is a normal release cycle to deprate then to remove, even in
            OpenSource.
            Such abruts abandon of addons may not entrust people with your
            partner contract/guarantee...

            I also think some PR where made on branche 7 if I'm correct.

            As I said previously, I was was my self not against abandonning
            totally report_webkit if we can convert all our work to qweb report.
            But doing so will take the community some time to do it.

            Now, if you really do not want to maintain it and the question
            is just rethoric, Camptocamp/community will maintain the module.


            Regards

            Nicolas

                Thank you for asking.

                Weren't you the one who said about a month ago that you will
                support report_webkit through v8 and drop both rml and
                report_webkit in v9?

                Regards,

                    I would like to remove report_webkit from our master
                    branch before releasing v8.

                    I think we wont maintain it properly and i expect that
                    this will create frustrations during the lifetime of v8.

                    None of our modules use it at all (none ever did
                    actually). Now that the conversion from rml to
                    qweb/wkhtml report is done, i consider that the default
                    report system of v8 is superior to report_webkit.

                    It has all the advantages like the speed and html/css
                    syntax, but it's much more modular and versatile. It
                    supports as many layout as you want, images and view
                    inheritance. The codebase is also smaller.

                    report_webkit was a source inspiration when we developed
                    the v8 pdf report generation. And i would like to thanks
                    its author Nicolas Bessi.

                    On github we already have 2 pull requests (PR) about it,
                    i dont want my developers to spend time on code that is
                    not used at all by any addons.

                    So report_webkit PR's will stay unprocessed and i dont
                    think the module deserve that.

                    Would oca be motivated enough to take over the module to
                    ensure proper maintenance.

                    Antony Lesuisse.
