Uploading brances from launchpad

Launchpad now a days is the online mall for open source projects so this section is dedicated to explain the process to upload a branch from launchpad .


First you need to create your account at www.launchpad.net by clicking register on top right

Creating the key

How you create your SSH key pair depends on which operating system you use.

Linux/Cygwin

Step 1: Install OpenSSH. On Ubuntu, you can install OpenSSH by opening your terminal and typing:

sudo apt-get install openssh-client

With Cygwin you can follow the instructions here: http://pigtail.net/LRP/printsrv/cygwin-ssh.html

Step 2: Once OpenSSH is installed, stay in the terminal and type:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Step 3: When prompted, press Enter to accept the default file name for your key.

Step 4: Next, enter then confirm a password to protect your SSH key. Your key pair is stored in ~/.ssh/ as id_rsa.pub (public key) and id_rsa (private key)

Now you need to upload the public portion of your SSH key to Launchpad.

Windows (PuTTY)

Step 1: Download the PuTTY Key Generator from here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

Step 2: Run puttygen.exe and click the generate button. PuTTYGen will ask you to move your mouse around in the blank area to generate entropy.

Step 3: Set a key passphrase and confirm it.

Step 4: Click "Save public key" and choose a location to save it. Click "Save private key" and choose a secure location to save it. You must keep this secret key safe!

Step 5: Do not close Puttygen window just yet! Copy the public key from the Puttygen window.

This way you get key for the next step ("Registering the key with Launchpad").

Note: Step 5 helps avoid the "Invalid public key" error. (Taken from launchpad question 26705)

Step 6: Run/Install Pageant as either a standalone .exe or as part of the entire putty package. Make sure Pageant is running and rt+click the icon in the notification area. Add the private key you saved earlier. This step is crucial if you want to connect to launchpad from a Windows PC.

Cygwin/Windows (PuTTY)

Follow these steps if you wish to use Pageant under Cygwin.

Step 1: Follow the procedure in the 'Windows (PuTTY)' section

Step 2: Add 'BZR_SSH' as an environment variable with the value 'plink'

Step 3: Close all existing bash terminals and open a new terminal.

Step 4: Run 'plink INSERT_YOUR_USERNAME_HERE@bazaar.launchpad.net' and accept 'yes' to store the server's host key

Registering your personal computer with launchpad id to inform bzr of your Launchpad ID

Example :

bzr launchpad-login maansatyamitra-yahoo

If you don't know your log in the surf it at

http://launchpad.net/people/+me

Uploading a branch

for some projects you can directly upload the branch with out being registered but you may be deprived of it many times specially restricted ones .

example :

bzr branch lp:~openerp-commiter/openobject-addons/stable_5.0-extra-addons

Open ERP A B C on UBUNTU Server

INSTALLING SERVER

Installing Dependencies

sudo apt-get install python python-psycopg2 python-reportlab \
    python-egenix-mxdatetime python-xml python-tz python-pychart \
    python-pydot python-lxml python-libxslt1 python-vobject

Getting Server 

EITHER YOU GET IT FROM LAUNCHPAD - 

sudo apt-get install bzr

bzr branch lp:openobject-server

bzr branch lp:openobject-addons

please note from bzr you find the openobject which has addons seprately thus you need to
take the another branch for addons .

OR YOU CAN EASILY GET THE WHOLE OPENERP SERVER WITH ADDONS FROM

wget http://openerp.com/download/stable/source/openerp-server-5.0.3.tar.gzgo to current directory where you have saved it by cd ./../openerp-server-5.0.3.tar.gz

and extract

tar -zxvf openerp-server-5.0.3.tar.Installing dependencies for Webserver

get the webserver as same way you got the openerp server either of the option \

and install

apt-get install python python-dev build-essential
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

then go to lib/ directory
lib/./populate.sh will install all the required dependencies

Starting servers

openerp server

go to the bin directory of open erp server and launch ./openerp-server.py

else go to the bin directory of openobject server and
lauch ./openerp-server.py --addons-path= ../../addons"

webclint server

simply go to openerp-webclint folder
and launch ./openerp-client.py

make sure you have isntalled all the dependencies


Installation of database

you can install postgresql through
sudo apt-get install postgres

Creation of user

and go to postgres user

sudo su postgres

then you can create a user with the same name as of your account

for example youare loged in enova account
then create user

createuser enova


now you are ready to go live with open erp
