Hi Daniel,

I agree that oca_dependencies.txt remains valuable as documentation and was thinking about that too.

A good source to know in which repo each addon is located is odoo-community.org/apps.
Another one is pypi.org where each addon has a Homepage link to the repo.

It's probably quite easy to write a script that extracts that information from a list of addon names, and eventually generate oca_dependencies.txt.

@Denis, I agree with you of course, but the point here is certainly not to force everyone to use that method in their own projects.

Thank you for this work,

The oca-dependencies.txt solution was a bit clumsy, and probably it is a 
good thing that is is being sunset.

But I miss a way to get the equivalent information it gives me today.
If I deploy from Git sources (I think most people do), the 
oca-dependencies.txt gives me good clues about what other OCA repos I 
should be also including in my project.

I see some frustration coming, from not knowing what other repos we need 
to deploy to make the used modules work.
Forcing people to still maintain oca-dependencies.txt is not a good 
solution. Since it is not used in tests it is not assured to be 
reliable, and it will still have the problem of being a repo-wide 
dependency, and possibly too much for the particular modules I'm 
interested in..

I would rather prefer to have a way to have the dependency repo 
information, based on particular modules.
It would be perfect if I could run a command that would five me this 
information.
If not possible, we should required the module README to state these 
dependencies, in the Install section.

Thanks
Daniel
