What I don't like about your chosen project namespace is the fact that there is a version number in it... so you really intend to move this to a different devel project every so often? That's not very friendly to anybody, least to eventual users subscribing to the repository... as they can't just follow it and receive updates to new versions.

If you are using this ERP, you stay within one major release. Several major releases (currently 3.0/3.2/3.4/3.6/3.8/4.0) are maintianed in parallel, every 1-2 month a set of fixes is released. Thats why we have a version in the directory tree, to keep consistency.

GNU Health is tied to a specific version of Tryton, in this case GNU Health 3.0 -> Tryton 3.8 A mix of modules between major versions is deadly - and the number one problem for people installing from source.

So the plan is to release current GNU Health to Factory - and Leap 42.2 if not alread too late. When next GNU Health is released in January 2017 (version 3.2 based on Tryton 4.2) it will be build and tested in ERP:Tryton:4.2, and submitted from there to Factory

Which will get you back to square one then: ERP:Tryton:4.2 will not be a registered devel project...

You might want to make your prj setup a bit different:

ERP:Tryton => the PACKAGES you want to submit - this would be the devel prj

ERP:Tryton:3.8 => what you work on for now and 'offer' to users. Funnel all submissions through ERP:Tryton to Factory and 42.2

ERP:Tryton:4.2 => you can start working in parallel, users can start testing. At the point this is ready, you submit stuff to ERP:Tryton and from there again to openSUSE:Factory

Like this, you don't have to run after new devel project registration every so often.

What do you think?

Sounds like a plan. I like the idea from Simon to create ERP:Tryton:Factory, to make it even more visible what will go to openSUSE:FActory. Can the packages in ERP:Tryton:Factory be linked to ERP:Tryton:3.8, or should they be copied?
