Question: How Does OCA Distribute and Update Pre-Commit Rules?

[yibudak]

Hello,

I noticed that in the 16.0 branch of the OCA/crm repository, the pylint-odoo version specified in the pre-commit configuration is 8.0.19, while the latest release is currently 9.2.0.

I’m curious about the update strategy for these pre-commit checks. Will the version of pylint-odoo be updated eventually in the 16.0 branch, or is 8.0.19 intentionally fixed for this branch?

Thanks.

Versions are normally pinned for existing branches, and reviewed when a new version arises, pulling that new linter versions only for this new branch. The reason is to keep maximum compatibility with existing merged code (as the new linter version may bring some new checks that can turn the branch red). If any critical aspect requires the version bumping, then it can be discussed and incorporated.

Thank you for the clarification, @pedrobaeza.
