Hi there, back from the OpenDays, it's been a great experience,  and I'm
especially glad to have met so many of you in real life !
This message summarizes the current status of anybox.recipe.openerp (for
short, *a.r.openerp*), future plans for Odoo support (*a.r.odoo*), and
asks for testing.

We're open to suggestions, especially for the medium term plans.

I'll be mostly offline until next monday, 2014-06-16


    a.r.openerp stable release

We are very close to a 1.8.4 stable version, that'll handle Odoo properly.

Both bzr branches of the recipe are supposed to work for Github versions of
 -  Odoo 8
 -  OpenERP 7 (odoo repo, branch 7.0)
or any fork of them, of course.

(many thanks to the contributors that helped make this happen)

This is a special time for assembly / packaging tools, so we'll try and
do it the cautious way.
If all goes well, release should happen during next week.

Since it's called a "stable" branch, existing buildouts should run
smoothly, so, please, give it a try in the context of your projects
(whatever version of OpenERP or Odoo they use), and report any problems
on launchpad. I'll look them up once I return.
Preliminary tests look good, and anybox's buildbot is green, but that's
never enough.

Here's a sample config to use the stable (1.8) bzr branch:

    [buildout]
    extensions = gp.vcsdevelop
    vcs-extend-develop = bzr+http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~anybox/anybox.recipe.openerp/1.8#egg=aro-1.8
    vcs-update = True

    [versions]
    # in some cases that's needed
    anybox.recipe.openerp = 

(see also
http://pythonhosted.org/anybox.recipe.openerp/contributing.html#using-a-development-version)

To check that you are indeed on the correct version (assuming the part
is called 'openerp'):

    bin/python_openerp
    >>> import anybox.recipe.openerp as aro
    >>> aro.__file_

Simplest Odoo 8 config:

    [odoo]
    recipe = anybox.recipe.openerp:server
    version = git http://github.com/odoo/odoo.git odoo master

    [versions]
    reportlab = 2.7

 There should not be a new development branch (1.10 or 2.0) after 1.9
(the current trunk) is declared stable.


    anybox.recipe.odoo

As I announced during my talk, there'll be a new recipe for Odoo, and
we'll take the name change as an opportunity to drop backwards
compatibility and remove all these nasty workarounds meant to support
OpenERP from 5.0 onwards.

So, a.r.odoo will support Odoo 8 and subsequent versions.
To ease the transition, a.r.openerp should also support Odoo 8.
If that becomes too much of work, we may change plans about that.

As for version numbers, they'd start from 1.9.x


    Transition to Github (both recipes)

So far our plans are to have a reference repository on Github, with
three branches:

 - master: that's anybox.recipe.odoo, and the work starts from the
current 1.9 branch of a.r.openerp
 - a.r.openerp-1.8, a.r.openerp-1.9 : current branches of
anybox.recipe.openerp, imported from launchpad


It's too early for a stable branch of a.r.odoo, we'll see about that
later down the road.

After 1.9 becomes the new stable, all development of a.r.openerp will
stop on launchpad, in favor of the correct branch in Github.
That should happen around the end of june. Do we need a precise deadline ?

My current experiment to that effect is at
https://github.com/gracinet/a.r.odoo-testimport

Sounds good ?
