But obviously you have other factors to bear in mind too: http://doc.openerp.com/v6.1/contribute/14_release_cycle.html

might I ask a *big* question also?

I am still debating whether to adopt OpenERP 6.0.x or 6.1+ for my (small) company. The 6.0 series is LTS and already was/is fairly feature packed while the 6.1+ series is cutting edge and probably receives and will continue to receive more attention from the core OpenERP dev folks.

I am currently not sure if and when I will be able to go for a “Publisher Warranty” plan, so I am leaning towards LTS, but I cannot say what LTS actually means with OpenERP. I see a lot of questions on this on the forum, but the answers are mostly all or nothing, like “be safe go for LTS” or “always go for the latest and thus most stable”. I understand both stanzas, but they don’t help…

For instance, the Outlook plugin for OERP 6.0.x does not work with OL 2010 and the Thunderbird plugin currently does not work with the more recent versions of TB either and there has not been much recent movement on Launchpad on these issues as far as I can see. Now, I am of course not writing to gripe, but from your past experience, would you say that LTS means that the OEP devs will get back to such issues when the OEP 6.1.1+ hustle blows over or does it mainly/only cover bug/security issue fixing ?

If it is the latter, then LTS would mean being left behind as third party technology advances and then LTS would probably not be the best choice and I would rather go for cutting edge and speculate on being able to afford a migration plan sooner or later.

This is an immensely difficult decision to make without knowledge of the true meaning of LTS in this context and I and I am sure many others would value your opinion and voice on this, of course not to be taken as a firm rule, but as guidance based on experience.

Thanks in Advance,

Thanks for letting everyone know. That may help others who have the same problem.

I follow your nice how-to related to nginx installation. It works like a charm! I´m using Nginx 1.2.0 the last stable version. You can get it following this (http://wiki.nginx.org/Install):

sudo -s
nginx=stable # use nginx=development for latest development version
add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/$nginx
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx

If you get an error about add-apt-repository not existing, you will want to install python-software-properties.

Thank you again for these nice works.

You need to secure your server first, then secure the connection between OpenERP and the outside world.

I have written a how to using nginx as a reverse proxy which supports ssl (https) into OpenERP.

But securing a server for is not a trivial, nor a one-time, exercise.
