A file to build OpenERP 7.0/8.0 distributions.

builddist.sh

#!/bin/sh

# Build OpenERP 7.0 and 8.0 sdists.
#
# You MUST place this in the root of your odoo repository.  It expects you
# have the local branches 7.0 and any other you may use.
#
# Usage:
#
#    ./builddist.sh [BRANCH] [VERSION]
#
# The default for BRANCH is "7.0".  If BRANCH is set but VERSION is not, it
# defaults to the part of BRANCH after the first "-" which starts with a
# digit.

I'm tired of waiting for a response about how to create .tar.gz distributions for OpenERP 7.0. Furthermore, since August they are no longer publishing nightly builds.

Place this in your odoo github clone and voilà, build your own cooked sdists.
