fieldservicemodule abusive dependencies?

[dreispt]

I note that the fieldservice has dependencies on modules that don't seem necessary for it to work.
For example, partner_fax and web_timeline.
In my opinion if they not essential, the installation of those modules should be optional, and not be in the dependencies.
Such a change is simple wouldn't have an impact on existing installations.

Yeah, I agree and don't see the connection.

timeline view functionality provided by web_timeline module and v12 fieldservice module has used timeline functionality.

In v13 fieldservice module has dropped that functionality. I will share discussion link for reason.

[brian10048]

web_timeline has already been separated as of v13
Agreed that partner_fax isn't very essential either

While we are on the subject of dependencies...
I feel that the fieldservice_stock module has extra dependencies on some OCA stock_request modules. For me it would be better to split into one module that depends on base stock module and another one for the stock_request modules. I'll do the work to split up fieldservice_stock if others are OK with that change

[pedrobaeza]

Yes, please!

[bodedra]

I take my words back for dropped functionality. It actually timeline functionality separated in new module called fieldservice_timeline. Here is open PR #521

@dreispt For fieldservice v13, we can remove dependency of partner_fax and web_timeline modules.

base_territory can be removed too I guess.
