[Python-apps-team] Bug#638720: Odoo packaging

[Aaron Bohy]

Dear Martin,

I am part of the Odoo team working on packaging and we are currently 
working
on an Odoo 8.0 package for the Debian archive.

Here is our work so far: https://mentors.debian.net/package/odoo

There are still some lintian errors or warnings.

Many of them are due to the fact that Odoo embeds javascript libraries, and
those libraries are often minified. However, we prefer to keep those 
libraries
in the archive to have a better control of those libraries updates.

We also get a warning because we put image files in /usr/lib, but we 
can't put
images apart from python code.

About the script-with-language-extension, we could replace odoo.py by 
odoo but
we prefer not to do so as it could break scripts of people already using the
deb packages published on http://nightly.odoo.com/, especially because 
v8.0 is
the stable version of Odoo (released in Sep. 14).

We would like to do a RFS for this package. What do you think?

Regards,
Aaron Bohy
