Hi, Some community modules are incompatible with each other, or with core modules. It may not be desirable but it is sometimes unavoidable and is a fact today. Discovering such incompatibilities is a painful process, and there is no structured mechanism to communicate about them once they have bee

I agree with Fabien. Having this conflicts field will also legitimate incompatibilities and they will remain forever. Not having this field will force people to collaborate and solve the conflict when discovered. My 2 cents. -- Maxime Chambreuil +1 (514) 276-5468 #126 - Mail origin

+1, I still feel this is needed. Fabien : I've seen at least one re-implementation of MRP in the wild, which are obviously not compatible with the official mrp addon. Just having a comment in the description of the module is not enough : we need something stronger which prevents accidental install

+1 on having "conflicts" field. Even if some incompatibility is not unavoidable and can be considered a bug, the module should be marked as incompatible until the conflict is resolved. Also If you know beforehand that some module is incompatible, you can plan a budget to resolve the conflict and pr
