[ANN] OpenERP 5.0.0-rc1

[Stephane Wirtel]

Hi Folks,

We have the pleasure to announce the first release candidate of OpenERP 5.0

There is a lot of bug fixes and improvements for this release.

You will find the Windows installers and the tarball archives on OpenERP download page.
The web client (a.k.a eTiny) will be available with the next release.

You can contribute to OpenERP on LaunchPad.

* OpenObject Project on LaunchPad: https://launchpad.net/openobject
* Translations: https://translations.launchpad.net/openobject (currently not up to date, stay tunes for news)
* Bug Reporting: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject/+filebug
* Feature Request: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openobject

You can still get the source using bazaar:

Code:

$> bzr clone lp:openerp $> mkdir trunk $> cd openerp $> ./bzr_set.py ../trunk

For more information, take a look on the wiki and the forum.

The Tiny Team,

Can't install it :

- something with dot ... missing (I had to install pydot and pychart and I did it)

- after build, the build-scripts directory is empty.


install command is inoperant

Some help needed.

You can launch the server without build it.

Code:

cd openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1/bin python ./openerp-server.py

I tried updating v5.0 to rc1 using bzr and it didn't work. See this thread:
http://www.openerp.com/forum/topic8493.html

I will wait a version with a good and tested installation procedure.

I have had some troubles with such a description about 4.2.3.4, so ...

We will make a new release candidate this evening,

If you have any bug, can you fill a bug report ?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject/+filebug

Because without bug reports, We can not fix the issues.

Thank you

python setup.py build
and not python setup.py --build

You can use the --help flag to get the help

and if you test the rc1, there is a bug with the build stage, you can use the rc1.1 or use the source from LaunchPad.

Using the latest release candidate, rc1.1, I have not been able to successfully build an rpm. I am using the command:

Code:

python setup.py bdist_rpm

and I see this error:

Code:

error: File /home/greno/build/python-dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.1/build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/openerp-server/openerp-server-5.0.0_rc1.tar.gz: No such file or directory error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

Has anyone been able to build an rpm using rc1.1?

Gerry

I will take a wild guess and suspect that your python-distutils have some trouble, perhaps with the release string (not all symbols from a release are acceptable in an RPM versioning).

I have build rpms, with an external script, for Mandriva. Only need some public host to let them out wild.

PS. Somebody fix the quotes in phpBB?

Here's the full sequence of events:

Code:

tar -cf dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.tar openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1 gzip -f9 dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.tar removing 'openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1' (and everything under it) copying dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.tar.gz -> build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SOURCES building RPMs rpmbuild -ba --define _topdir /home/greno/build/python-dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.1/build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm --clean build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SPECS/openerp-server.spec error: File /home/greno/build/python-dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.1/build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/openerp-server/openerp-server-5.0.0_rc1.tar.gz: No such file or directory error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

So it looks as though it creates the tarball and puts it in SOURCES but then it ends up looking for it somewhere else.

Ok, found a .rpmmacros file which seemed to be affecting things. So I removed that and we get this result:

Code:

tar -cf dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.tar openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1 gzip -f9 dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.tar removing 'openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1' (and everything under it) copying dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.tar.gz -> build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SOURCES building RPMs rpmbuild -ba --define _topdir /home/greno/build/python-dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.1/build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm --clean build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SPECS/openerp-server.spec error: File /home/greno/build/python-dist/openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.1/build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/SOURCES/openerp-server-5.0.0_rc1.tar.gz: No such file or directory error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

So now you can see that distutils is now looking in the right directory. However it still cannot find the file. Why? Look close. It is looking for openerp-server-5.0.0_rc1.tar.gz. The tarball that it generated is named openerp-server-5.0.0-rc1.tar.gz. So where should we look to fix this?
