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".
BTW you may be interested in this implementation:
