Mention oca-port in migration procedure wiki page

[sbidoul]

I'm under the impression that oca-port is not now mature enough to recommend in the migration procedure wiki page.

What do people think?

@sebalix would you be able to propose that (while keeping the manual procedure in the document for now)?

In any case, it should be odoo-module-migrator instead.

[sbidoul]

Why "instead"? In my understanding they are complementary tools, with oca-port caring about the branch creation and cherry-picking, while odoo-module-migrator is to transform the source code. That's why I created a separate issue.

[pedrobaeza]

I think odoo-module-migrator does also the commit history fetching.

[sebalix]

Yes odoo-module-migrator does the git format-patch as well, that's the only common point I think, otherwise oca-port is only about playing with git repositories/commits, while odoo-module-migrator deals with code transformation in respect to the targeted Odoo version. In fact it could be called after oca-port process during a migration.

@sbidoul agree, oca-port is not mature enough, and we aim to change a bit the input parameters so I would not recommend this tool yet in the migration guide.

Ow, I had mistyped "not" where I meant "now mature" enough. But, good to now there are still changes upcoming in the CLI. Thanks for the update.

That said, odoo-module-migrator exists since a long time so it deserves to be mentioned in the doc.
Once I'm confident with oca-port stability, and if it doesn't break any workflow with other tools I'll be glad to mention it as well.
