Hi Ron,

The recommended way to install external addons is not to clone them
inside odoo/addons.
Instead, you clone them in a separate directory, here is an example of
setup:

  root/
    server/addons/
    connector/
    other_addons_repo/
    ...

Then, you create an openerp.cfg file with all the addons paths:

   [options]
   addons_path =
/path/to/server/addons,/path/to/connector,path/to/other_addons_repo...

Every path is a folder that contains one to many addons.

Then, start your server with the option "-c /path/to/openerp.cfg".
