the fix is done in the CWS "dr32" that is part of the sources of the "main line" SRC680 (680 -> will end up in OOo 2.x , 645 -> OOo 1.x) > Another bug said it was fixed in 680m74s1 and I guess that is different > than my 1.9.74. It is different. More CWSs were integrated. > Another issue says "fixed in CWS extras17." Can I tell from that when > something will be fixed. Similar to the above statement. The CWS is extras17 (have a look at the traget milestone to which line it applies). You can expect a fix in the current developer milestone only if the issue is closed. If it is Resolved fixed or Verified this means that the issue is fixed in the sources, but not yet in a "released" version. So to check the fix at this time you either have to build OOo yourself (or use one of the "inofficial" builds (Max posted the link to Pavel's build recently). > Also, what do all the periods mean in an issue. They are dummys. You can only change certain fields of an issue when you have entered a comment. Otherwise issueZilla won't let you do this change. So if a developer updates something (e.g. reassign the fixed issue to qa) they don't want to type to much and only enter "." (To reassign a fixed issue it is necessary to reopen, reassign, set to fixed again) > If there is a document that explains all of this, I will gladly read it, > I am just not sure where to start looking. See EIS for a overwiev: http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/servlet/GuestLogon This lists all CWSs and you can query when it has been integrated.
