Hi,

  In production we usually setup erp5 from latest version:

    - http://git.erp5.org/gitweb/slapos.git/blob_plain/refs/heads/erp5:/software/erp5/software.cfg

 or sometimes we use some "pin" version of URL (this makes sure your environment don't change over time):

     - http://git.erp5.org/gitweb/slapos.git/blob_plain/dd6cc21787ee4a92a3a5d180dfaec1ba2fe2c7db:/software/erp5/software.cfg

 Anyway, the tag version really works, but it has a problem, which is not present on the version you above. If during the compilation of the gcc your server lose internet connection, or you kill the compilation or it has not enough memory, small /tmp ... there is no way to return from where it stopped, it will fail for ever.

In this case, you have this problem, the only way is remove entire folder /opt/slapgrid/XXXX (where XXX is where erp5 is compiling on), and relaunch "slapos node software".

 We are planning to make a new tag of erp5 for a while, but we have no time. I also don't recommend the RPMs or Deb, they are quite old, slapos should be used instead. 

 Several students (about 1500) uses a VM (vmware/virtualbox), like described on this tutorial http://www.osoe-project.org/lesson/osoe-Lecture.ERP.Configuration.Introduction , this allow us provide massive trainning.

Notice for questions related to this setup (VM) or erp5 usage, I recommend use osoe-project.org forum. 

 Regards,
 Rafael Monnerat

Without solving the actual issue, you might get the desired result by installing erp5 from a debian package as discussed on http://erp5solutions.blogspot.nl/2013/01/install-erp5-using-rpmdeb-for-end-users.html.

I did recently successfully install ERP5 trough slapos on an Ubuntu laptop and on a debian VM following the tutorials of the OSOE  project.

Thank you for your answer. Is this kind of installation recommended for production environments?
