Aren't you noticed that for medium/big complex Odoo projects/deployments the developments or maintenance are slow because of frequently update of modules that also updates their depends modules?
Odoo module updates sometimes are slow but necessary, but there are cases where one update could take hours due to large data loading from xml or csv when you just needed to add a field or a couple of changes, you may end drinking more coffee because of the waiting message that appears every time you clic the update button of the module form view.
There are tools for view edition when you activate the developer tools located at the User menu/About Odoo at the top right that adds the debug param in your url location href. That works ok for views/templates/qweb reports but when you are doing a bunch of changes in a module(including python code changes) and you wanna see all your changes updated but an update is needed then you will see what I'm talking about it
You could say: "But my xml records are with <data noupdate='1'>", ok, It will be slow anyway, because Odoo needs to inspect your xml files to determine if you delete a record from your xml files to raise an unlink for that deleted records.
How can this be solved?
What other options are out there for speed up developments or maintenance updates?
