2011-12-26 11:27 <sisalp> hello,
2011-12-26 11:27 <sisalp> looking for an explaination how bug fixes work
2011-12-26 11:28 <sisalp> let's take this example : http://codereview.tryton.org/213003/patch/1/2
2011-12-26 11:28 <sisalp> this patch seems mandatory to me since it affects database creation with account charts
2011-12-26 11:29 <sisalp> in fact I don't know exactly when it should be applied : 2.2, 2.0, 1.8 ... ?
2011-12-26 11:29 <sisalp> always or when account_fr is present ? etc.
2011-12-26 11:29 <sisalp> Now I'm proposing it to my on-line customers.
2011-12-26 11:30 <yangoon> sisalp: generally patches go to trunk
2011-12-26 11:30 <sisalp> my question is : when will this patch be integrated to 2.2 ?will it be retrofited for 2.0 and previous ?
2011-12-26 11:31 <yangoon> sisalp: if they are evaluated to be bugfixes they are backported to stable releases
2011-12-26 11:31 <sisalp> yangoon: but fixing trunk is useless. It is openerp's failure
2011-12-26 11:32 <sisalp> yangoon: good, but what is the process to spped up backport ?
2011-12-26 11:32 <sisalp> speed
2011-12-26 11:32 <yangoon> jftr: I am currently uploading the bugix releases for current releases
2011-12-26 11:33 <yangoon> sisalp: generally there is not much you can do
2011-12-26 11:35 <yangoon> sisalp: you can take load off from the maintainer(s), if you want to have transplants or bugfix releases more often
2011-12-26 11:36 <sisalp> yangoon: how is the best way ?
2011-12-26 11:37 <sisalp> I guess if this code is "code-review" it is to collect opinions from reviewers.
2011-12-26 11:37 <yangoon> sisalp: exactly
2011-12-26 11:38 <sisalp> I'm not skilled enough to comment on this code, I just trust it and can ask users to test it
2011-12-26 11:38 <yangoon> sisalp: to begin with contributing it is very helpful to have testers
2011-12-26 11:38 <yangoon> second is reviewing, which is also learning
2011-12-26 11:38 <sisalp> but will a comment on the code review page help ?
2011-12-26 11:39 <yangoon> sisalp: of course, feedback is always appreciated
2011-12-26 11:40 <cedk> sisalp: stability is a matter of time
2011-12-26 11:41 <cedk> sisalp: so the process about backport is when *I* find it should be backported
2011-12-26 11:41 <cedk> sisalp: and most of the time I try to backport one week after the commit to trunk
2011-12-26 11:42 <cedk> sisalp: also it is better to have a bug report to talk about it
2011-12-26 11:42 <cedk> sisalp: and about your bug, a work arround is to have the user in the company for which the chart is created
2011-12-26 11:43 <sisalp> cedk: thank you, do you mean that the user faced the bug because the admin user was in a different company ?
2011-12-26 11:44 <cedk> sisalp: yes
2011-12-26 11:44 <sisalp> so it is just an initial mistake he did somewhere if he doesn't intend to run multiple companies ?
2011-12-26 11:46 <cedk> sisalp: perhaps or the user did not have a company
2011-12-26 11:46 <sisalp> he will be interested in learning this since he is trying to setup a simple case. Thank you for explaination
2011-12-26 11:47 <sisalp> and I understand I don't have to urge to reproduce this patch against all the instances of tryton I'm running if users are not affected.
2011-12-26 11:48 <sisalp> and I agree, stability is a matter of time first
2011-12-26 12:49 <yangoon> cedk: maintenance release done, pypi updated, news prepared
2011-12-26 12:52 <cedk> yangoon: ok thanks
2011-12-26 18:17 <cedk> do you think a uuid is large enough for the authentication of the shared webdav?
2011-12-26 18:37 <udono> cedk: good question. It seems to be unique enough http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1155008/how-unique-is-uuid .
