This is a notice not a question. As a noob to odoo I was struggling to get the new 8.0 version to install on a fresh Ubuntu server. This script from André Schenkels works like a charm! My Karma is still too low to post links apparently but this is the text version of a link to his blog and the script.

Good Luck!
