Are you working on an ebuild for OpenERP version 6.1?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to install OpenERP 6.1
2. Try to find an ebuild for this version. No ebuild found!
3. Decide if install from source tarball, make my own ebuild or look for some 
help from yarik...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I want to install OpenERP version 6.1 on Gentoo preferably using emerge.

Please provide any additional information below.
Apparently now the tarball package contains everything so a more complex 
installation ebuild with USE flags could be needed.

Unfortunately I don't have free time for it. May be I'll make ebuild in the end 
of March.

I've compiled this information.
Could be useful for writing the ebuild for the new version.

Server: Seen in openerp-server ebuild or Server documentation section 
(http://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/install/linux/server/index.html)
Web: Seen in openerp-web ebuild or Web Client documentation section 
(http://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/install/linux/web/index.html)

Disclaimer: The documentation for the 6.1 version seems to be based on 6.0 
reference documentation and is not really up to date. It is a mess because 
comments seems to be shared and are embedded all around. It still has 
references to the inexistent separate tar-ball for the web client in 6.1 
version.

Apparently openerp-web has disappeared because now openerp-server is a complete 
WSGI application.

This could trigger an additional dependency for any WSGI compatible server.

openerp-server includes WSGI applications.

There are many options to deploy openerp-server 6.1 web client.
Two options are Apache HTTP Server with mod_wsgi and Gunicorn.

An example configuration file for Gunicorn found in
http://thu.openerp.com/open-days-2012/gunicorn-draft.html#%2814%29

"""
import openerp

bind = '127.0.0.1:8069'
pidfile = '.gunicorn.pid'
workers = 4

on_starting = openerp.wsgi.core.on_starting
when_ready = openerp.wsgi.core.when_ready
pre_request = openerp.wsgi.core.pre_request
post_request = openerp.wsgi.core.post_request

conf = openerp.tools.config
conf['addons_path'] = 
'/home/openerp/addons/trunk,/home/openerp/web/trunk/addons'
"""

The server has  its WSGI entry point located in the `openerp.wsgi` module. It 
is simply  named `application`.

Assembling the pieces together,  launching the server with multiple processes 
is a simple as: 

> gunicorn openerp:wsgi.core.application -c /path/to/gunicorn.conf.py

Apparently, it is still possible to run openerp-server as a stand alone multi 
thread HTTP server. Internally, openerp-server 6.1 uses WSGI so is not the same 
web server as the 6.0 version. It is not a separate package. It is included 
with the openerp-server.

So you can run OpenERP stand alone (with the included web server) or as a WSGI 
application.

I propose to go for the easiest configuration (stand alone probably) and let 
other more complex WSGI deployments triggered by USE flags in future ebuilds 
versions.

mod_wsgi flag for Apache2 with mod_wsgi
gunicorn flag for Gunicorn

Thank you, googuy.
I will start after May 15.

I attach a new version of the previous document with a few comments added.

Finally I'm going to try the manual installation so I could verify if OpenERP 
works with those dependencies or if any package is missing.

I'll keep you informed.

OpenERP 6.1 installed manually with the documented dependencies in the attached 
document and for now apparently working fine.

dev-python/python-ldap could be optional as it should be only needed by the 
module users_ldap. USE flag candidate?

openerp-6.1.1_p20120617-r1.ebuild with stand alone multi thread HTTP server 
(zsi) is ready.

Great work!
I'll try it.

Is the python flag needed for dev-libs/libxslt and dev-libs/libxml2?

I noticed that dev-python/lxml already depends on those packages but apparently 
doesn't force the python flag.
So maybe the ebuild could be simplified by putting only lxml as a dependency 
and removing libxslt and libxml2.

I'll test dev-libs/libxslt and dev-libs/libxml2 without python flag later. 
Second step is a gunicorn and zsi use flags.

Why you choosed version 6.1-20120617-233256?

Why not doing an ebuild based on the latest version found at
http://nightly.openerp.com/6.1/nightly/src/openerp-6.1-latest.tar.gz
or
http://nightly.openerp.com/6.1/releases/openerp-6.1-latest.tar.gz

The init script has:

depend() {
    after postgresql
}

What happens if you don't activate the postgres flag because you don't have the 
database in localhost?

openerp-6.1-latest.tar.gz is changed every night. I need to fix distfile and 
it's checksum.

>after postgresql
I will fix it

`openerp-6.1.1_p20120617-r2.ebuild`:
dev-libs/libxslt[python] and dev-libs/libxml2[python] depends are removed.
Removing "after postgresql" depend in init script if postgres use flag is 
missing.

`openerp-6.1.1_p20120617-r3.ebuild`:
Openerp depends on dev-python/vatnumber

About the removal of dev-libs/libxslt[python] and dev-libs/libxml2[python]:
If the python flag is not really needed, both are already dev-python/lxml 
dependencies.
It is better to remove them and simplify.

About CDEPEND in the ebuild, I suggest the following patch:
