auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds OCA-specific tools to the VCP app: repository categories, a must-have flag on modules, README and icon extraction, GitHub login and avatar sync on contacts, an OCA collaboration index, and organization history for attributing contributions.
This module customises the VCP application for OCA needs. It adds a new "Repository Categories" screen under the VCP settings menu, where managers can create categories with a short description, a description and a list of repositories. Repositories get a Category field, visible on their form and list, and can be grouped by category in the search view.
On Odoo modules, a "Must have" checkbox is added next to the module name. Module versions now store extracted README fragments (converted from RST to Markdown) and an icon URL, with a known deprecated logo ignored.
On contacts, a new "Contributor" tab shows a GitHub section with a main login and an avatar sync option, plus a "Company History" list. The main GitHub login is unique per contact and links to a VCP user; if the login is already used by another contact, an error is raised. A computed "OCA collaboration index" is shown, based on merged requests, reviews, created requests and comments over the last 12 months. The current organization is computed from the company history, falling back to the parent company.
Reviews and comments now record the organization of the contributor who wrote them, based on the date of the review or comment. A new Organization History model stores, per contact, a start date and an organization.
