As I said earlier:

I honestly did not expect a flamewar on this but it probably
illustrates why the topic was stuck before.
But we are now making progress, so that's good :)
And I repeat this was and still is totally revertible, and it has had
zero impact on anyone's workflow in practice yet.

Since v13 we can and should use the PyPI package name in manifest
external dependencies.

There is a pre-commit hook that does it for you, it's part of the template.

The problem is then locating the repo in the first place. Having a
flat space with all OCA addons easily installable is a simplification,
IMO.


> If the wheelhouse is meant to be used as a playground before real packages are pushed to pypi, have you considered using https://test.pypi.org? These might be dumb questions, but if it speeds up OCA workflow and removes the maintenance burden, it can be good.

The wheelhouse predates the decision to push to PyPI, it's not really
been a maintenance burden so far (especially compared to all the rest
of the OCA infra :). I think it still has value as an OCA only source.


> Where can we find docs about all of this? If none, then may you add them please?

The OCA infrastructure lacks documentation in general. I'm trying to
organize my slides of Thursday in a format that we can use as a
reference in the future.
Now I think I'll mute this thread otherwise said slides are never
going to materialize :)
