1. Create an account for yourself on LaunchPad.
2. Upload your ssh signature as per https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair
3. Log in to Launchpad: On Centos:

   bzr launchpad-login <your-launchpad-login>

   On Ubuntu:

   bzr whoami <your-launchpad-login>

4. Get the latest trunk source code: For the server:

   bzr branch lp:~openerp/openobject-server/trunk

   For the modules:

   bzr branch lp:openobject-addons

5. To update (cf. svn update, i.e. freshen) your branch later:

   bzr pull

   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   How to contribute your changes to the OpenERP Community
   
   Join the OpenERP Community here: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community
   You should probably create a bug or mod with a Blueprint on Launchpad in the appropriate project.
   Make your changes.
   vi addons/account/account.py
   
   Commit to your local branch.
   cd addons
   bzr ci -m "Testing Modifications"
   
   Push your changes up to Launchpad.
   cd addons
   bzr push lp:~openerp-community/openobject-addons/YOURLOGIN_YOURBRANCHNAME
   
   Don’t forget to set the status of your branch (new, experimental, development, mature, …) so that contributors know what they can use or not.
   
   Bind your local branch to the one on Launchpad so that future commits will be applied directly to the one on Launchpad.
   bzr bind lp:~openerp-community/openobject-addons/YOURLOGIN_YOURBRANCHNAME
   
   Further editing would then follow these steps:
   bzr pull    # Get modifications on your branch from others
   EDIT STUFF
   bzr ci    # commit your changes on your public branch
   OR
   bzr ci --fixes=lp:453123   # Where 453123 is a bug ID
   
   Update your branch from its parent branch:
   bzr merge
   
   Once your branch is mature, mark it as mature in the web interface of launchpad and request for merging in the official release. Your branch will be reviewed by a commiter and then the quality team to be merged in the official release.
