Buildout planned?

Hi,

Christophe Combelles created a buildout recipe for OpenERP:

Cheers,
Stefan.

What is a "buildbout recipe" ?

something like this:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/anybox.recipe.openerp

just saw Stefan posted the same :-)

anyway, it's the best and easiest way to distribute python (not only python, btw) software

Zope, Plone, Django and other famous python software use buildout and eggs

OpenERP should follow them

Hi François,

We don't plan to provide a buildout right now. We may consider it in the future but we have more important things to do first. I think in particular to:
- tighten our setup.py files
- make it easier for someone to write its own statup script (the openerp-server executable)

But as others pointed out, the community seems to be working on it.

Ok, thank you for the pointers; I still hope I'll see an "official" recipe appear some day :-)
