Re: Best approach to deploy one module from OCA/GitHub?

 

Thanks Pedro,

Indeed, the strategy with the symlink is a good solution if we don't want all others modules listed in Odoo.

As we use Mercurial subrepos, the .hgsub mapping might look like this:

  server = [git]git://github.com/odoo/odoo.git
  addons_oca_PROJECT_X = [git] git://github.com/OCA/PROJECT_X
  addons_oca_PROJECT_Y = [git] git://github.com/OCA/PROJECT_Y

And in this repository, add relative symlinks in our custom addons path and commit them, at the end we will have this structure:

.
├── addons
│   ├── MODULE_FROM_PROJECT_X (symlink)
│   ├── MODULE_FROM_PROJECT_Y (symlink)
│   └── other_custom_module
├── addons_oca_PROJECT_X
│   └── [...]
├── addons_oca_PROJECT_Y
│   └── [...]
└── server

The configuration file pointing only on our 'addons' directory. Good point.

Regards,

Hi all,

You can develop a deployment strategy using symbolic links for desired
modules in only one addons folder, but you have to be very careful,
because there are some modules that have auto_install switch activated,
and you can lose functionality in this case. As Lorenzo has said, is
more or less safety to add full repository to addons_path.

Regards.

    Yes, I usually do like that.
    Modules in OCA repositories are supposed to not have syntax errors,
    so you can add them to available modules and just avoid to install
    the modules you don't need.
