Bug Description

This is installing OpenERP Server, 6 rc2, on Linux Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10).

There is a warning right at the start of installation, like this:

$ version=6.0.0-rc2
$ cd /usr/local/src/openerp_fp
$ tar xfz ~/Téléchargements/openerp-server-$version.tar.gz
$ cd openerp-server-$version/
$ python setup.py install
/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown
distribution option: 'console'
  warnings.warn(msg)
[...]

I do not know if this has any consequence, nor if it represents a bug, or some action I could take. If it has no consequence, some README or other machinery should warn the user that this is to be expected.

It seems this is not a new problem, or if not a problem, that it has been worrying other users a few years ago. It was mentioned for OpenERP 5 rc2, in this report:

`Bug #309575 in OpenObject Server: “Revno 1443 doesn't build - bin/ssl doesn't exist, and 'console' warning”` https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/309575

Thanks for your attention.

This is a keyword argument used when invoking the setup.py with the py2exe option. It has no consequence otherwise. The setup.py files will be reworked in the days to come and that argument will probably be added only on the appropriate platform (so the warning will disappear).
