Hello Simon; I know rebasing from Symphony option was never very popular here.
Just for the record, I ran a small experiment in the Symphony SVN: I used "svn merge" to bring some changes from AOO. The process was rather easy and fun. I find the Symphony team did a good job updating a lot of stuff from AOO. The effort was incomplete but it was in the right direction. If we could identify areas that are outdated I think it wouldn't be difficult to merge changes from the legacy SVN server. Some changes would require care but they are doable. I like the current work going on in trunk and I am OK with what seems to be the choice of the majority, just thought I'd share the experience :). best regards, Pedro. --- Gio 5/7/12, Shenfeng Liu <liush...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > Da: Shenfeng Liu <liush...@gmail.com> > Oggetto: Re: Next steps for Symphony and AOO > A: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org > Data: Giovedì 5 luglio 2012, 01:28 > Hi, all, > It was 4 weeks since Rob raised the topic, and there were a > lot of > discussions. > > I'm so glad to see that people got more familiar with the > values in the > code contributed from Symphony, tried it out, and liked to > see those values > to be integrated into AOO future releases.
