Re: [Dolibarr-dev] [Dolibarr-association] Dolibarr 4.0.1

[Developpement | Open-DSI]

Hi

Thanks to Camille for pointing the main problem : Module and ratio time spend / bug / patch
As integrator of Dolibarr, it's not "sustainable" for me to test every six month Dolibarr and the modules I'm commonly using. Today I only install 3.9. Maybe next year, I will uprade to 5.0 or not... depending of what functions will be added or remaining experimental.
Modules are too often broken by new version. On the Dolistore you can see module labeled 3.x-4.0 who are in fact broken with the last version or doesn't exist for the current version of Dolibarr. I think it's not good for the reputation of Dolibarr.
I'll be pleased to discuss about this subject in Valence :-)

Hi

Thanks for sharing this.

I agree, Dolibarr migration is pretty nice !

but only core part, modules looks more problematic to update.

 

Regarding communication, this is a work in progress.

Yes I saw this :) But looks again difficult. But it's better :)

 

From now on, we'll have systematic annoucement when a major version is released, minor version too, why not. A communication group has been started within the fundation with the goal to better communicate with the community. We already are present on social medias, but this dev mailing-list and the dolistore customers are 2 audiences we poorly communicate with (not to say not at all).

I don't understand logic, dolibarr users/community are on forum, mailinglist but piority is social network, strange

 

About your concerns around PRs and plugins, I'm sorry you feel that way. PRs are usually correctly integrated and not lost.

Maybe now, I'll try again. But I'm not sure. My fear is to lost again energy to nothing.

 

Plugins are the responsibility of their developers. Personnaly, our plugins are upgraded with the new releases

I'm not module developper then I don't know if is complicate or not to follow release and provide. As user, i prefer to have my own script and don't use module. In my use case ratio time spend / bug / patch is too heavy.

Thanks a lot

km
