Custom Odoo platform repository

AI-translated from Russian.

If the organization maintains its own fork of Odoo core (not only the official github.com/odoo/odoo), it is connected via project manifest fields.

Fields in odpm.json

Field	Meaning
odoo_git_link	Git URL of the platform repository; branch and commit can be specified after a space
platform_name	Python package name of the fork (default odoo); affects conf file name and launch command
odoo_version	Must match the branch in the platform repository
python_version, distro_name, distro_version	Compatible with fork requirements

Configuration file name: {platform_name}.conf (not necessarily odoo.conf).

Example at initialization

odpm --init https://github.com/aayartsev/odoo_demo_project.git --branch 19.0 \
  --odoo-version 17.0 \
  --odoo-git-link 'git@github.com:org/odoo-17.git 17.0' \
  --platform-name odoo \
  --python-version 3.10 --distro-version 12

Nightly builds and commit date

The odoo_build_date field or --odoo-build-date parameter (format YYYYMMDD) selects which commit on the platform branch to take "as of end of that day". Not applied if the link already pins a commit hash.

Dependencies with nested odpm.json

With use_oca_dependencies enabled, odpm reads manifests in nested repositories. Odoo/Python version incompatibility with the main project: warning in developer mode, error in the ci scenario. The host platform repository is not replaced.

See repository links, odpm.json.
