  • Summary of "Extension Building" Session

    ...Security concerns become increasingly more relevant traversing that list. I have in mind a couple of possible interfaces for creating built distributions; furthermore, the idea of "dumb" vs "smart" built distributions has been forming in my head since Developer's Day. (Thus it probably doesn't really belong here, since this is meant to be a summary of the Developer's Day session. So sue me.) First, consider the creation of a traditional Unix built distribution: a ...

Zope and Python, unlike Java, also provided the licensing needed for complete freedom in distributing code on LiveCD, in RPM packages, and so forth. In some applications needed in ERP, such as in Point-of-Sales (POS), an autonomous client/server GUI application provides better results than a pure Web-based solution. For these cases, the ERP5 project team selected PyQt, which supports the rapid development of mu...
