Everything you need should be there. If not, it must be completed

tryton.org should be enough.

There are several possibilities

hg is the way to go to preserve history and get on-going development.
Personnally, I don't like forking a work in progress server to a
production server
hg nested extension allows to get both server and modules.

You can also use distributions on pip, which are perfectly maintained

Another possibility is to download from tryton.org. Today my hosting
service uses :
wget -r -np -nd --no-check-certificate  -Atrytond-*.tar.gz
https://downloads.tryton.org/4.8/
wget -r -np -nd --no-check-certificate  -Atrytond_*.tar.gz
https://downloads.tryton.org/4.8/

care: trytond-* for the server trytond_* for the modules

You cannot prevent other people to replicate to mirrors because they
are familiar with alternative services.

It is tryton.org
Tryton is particularly consistent, in particular comparing with other
projects you know.
In order to get a single doc, we have to provide it in english only,
which is a problem for many.
Also we tend to discourage howtos, which usually refer to a specific
use, are partial and not maintained, often even not caring about
common good practices.

It will be difficult to get it simpler, but we can make it more
verbose for beginners.
Nevertheless,Tryton doc should improve but stay very focussed, and
we'd rather consider litterature "about Tryton", separated from
official documentation, to help different audiences in different
languages.
