Testing Apache Open Office with JDK 8 EA builds
Hi, I am from the OpenJDK QA group at Oracle, and we're trying to get an idea about how much community testing is happening on JDK EA builds and to encourage more of it to happen as part of our engagement in the Adoption Group in OpenJDK. [0] [1] I'm curious if you have been testing against JDK 7/8/9 EA builds, if you've run into showstopper issues, and if you'd like to continue to discuss the subject on the quality-discuss mailing list in OpenJDK, of course.

I find more annoying (and for sure they waste more bandwith) mails that
reply to a single paragraph but don't clean the message from all the
quoted text, like this one I'm sending on purpose (I didn't even remove
the mailing list footer texts).
For the annoying duplication in your mailboxes, there are solutions for
the problem depending on the software you use; dovecot, for example, has
a Sieve extension vnd.dovecot.duplicate
http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole/raw-file/tip/doc/rfc/spec-bosch-sieve-duplicate.txt
that can solve it with one line (if duplicate { setflag "\\seen"; }).
The main problem with mailing list is not the concept in itself, but the
lack of knowledge of the proper tools.

How to change default template from source
Hello every one I've succeeded to built open office, and for next step I want the writer I build to create new file from my template. But I don`t know where should I put the template file. And how to change the source file. I am not asking how to do it from UI but asking from source. Could anyone help me? Best regards -- Aron

Notification and alerts about future forum/wiki outages
Apache has a new status page and notification system for outages (there is no ongoing or planned outage at the moment, it is just for your information). You can find a report of current problems (none at the moment) at http://status.apache.org/ Everyone can also subscribe and receive alerts when the OpenOffice forum or wiki is down. You can do so at http://status.apache.org/pubsub/manage.cgi ; of course, everybody who has access to the relevant servers and can act in case of an outage is expected to subscribe, but you are free to subscribe just to be informed immediately in case of an outage (so heavy forum or wiki users are welcome to subscribe too). All new tools have been made available by Apache Infra.

On the use of C++ exception handling
Dear all, I've been investigating the use of C++ exception handling constructs in open-source C++ projects (including open office). Currently, I am conducting a survey on this subject and I would really appreciate if you could contribute to this research by answering a few questions. The survey is available on-line: https://pt.surveymonkey.com/s/exceptionHandling All the best, Rodrigo.

How to add generate symbols for gdb?
Hi, I tried to configure with --enable-symbols to build with symbolic generation. Here is my command line: ./configure \ --with-dmake-url= http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2 \ --with-epm-url= http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7-source.tar.gz \ --disable-odk \ --disable-binfilter \ --with-lang="en-US zh-TW" \ --enable-symbols Then in the module I wanted to debug, I built with build debug=t dbglevel=0 && deliver However gdb still told me that there was no debugging symbols found. Do I have to build all with debug=t to in order to get symbolic tables? What are the necessary and not necessary steps? Please suggest. Thanks. Best Regards

I'm not surprised this is the first issue to come up :$ There's a *lot* of knowledge I need to document for others; questions from you and others are the best way to motivate me to get that written ;) What's happening here is that when the filename.html produced in the first step, each of its elements contains an id attribute containing a numeric identifier that refers to a specific element in the source docx file (specifically, the word/document.xml file within the package). These numeric identifiers are generated during parsing, and correspond to the position of the element in document order (so 1, 2, 3, etc.). When you convert from HTML to .docx, it uses the id attributes to re-establish these relationships, so that it knows which elements in the HTML file correspond to which elements in the .docx file. The problem you encountered stems from the fact that this mapping is only valid in specific circumstances - that is, when the .docx file being updated is exactly the same as its original. If this is not the case, then the identifier assigned to a given node will different whenever there are other nodes that have been inserted between it. So for example if you do the following: dfutil filename.docx filename.html # Modify filename.html dfutil filename.html filename.docx dfutil filename.html filename.docx Then the third run will fail, because in the second the docx file will have been updated based on the changes in the HTML, changing the sequence numbers assigned to each node, and then on the second run the mapping will be valid. The conversion works on the assumption that the docx file is the same as the original. The way that UX Write uses the library, it ensures this is the case, but the library does not check for this (and yes, it should; more on this below). Your case is similar, though in this case you're creating a new docx file, not updating an existing one. However what it actually does in this case is to create an empty .docx file, and then "update" that based on the HTML. In doing so, it assumes that the HTML does not contain any mappings (that is, id attributes with the prefix "bdt"). Since the filename.html you generated does, it tries to map these to elements in the docx file, failing badly. The only workaround for this at present is to manually edit the HTML file and remove all id attributes. The quickest way to do this is with the following command: sed -i '' -E ' s/ id="word[0-9]+"//' filename.html Then, when you run dfutil, it will see that there is no mapping for any of the elements in the HTML file, and thus avoid the problems in the output you observed. Now, onto the fix: The library needs to have some way of checking that the HTML file being used as part of an update operation has a mapping (id attributes) that match the docx file being updated (in the case of creating a new file, this is just an empty docx file). In the even that this is not the case, it could still do the update, but would act as if the entire document had been replaced with a completely new one. The solution I'll likely implement (and this should really be my first task, given the potential for problems like the above is this): - Include a hash of the .docx file (or relevant parts of it) in the HTML file, e.g. as a meta element or as part of the prefix on all id attributes - On update, have re-compute the hash of the .docx file and compare it against the one stored in the HTML file (if any), and if there's no match, treat the HTML file as a complete replacement of all content > > What is the best channel to report issues? -- Dr. Peter M.

Since the filename.html you generated does, it tries to map these to elements in the docx file, failing badly. OK, but the following fails equally badly (producing an invalid OOXML file, even though this time it looks more consistent in size and internal content with filename.docx): $ dfutil/dfutil filename.docx filename.html Created filename.html $ dfutil/dfutil filename.html filename.docx What the best channel to report this issue and the 38 tests that are failing in my setup (provided they are all expected to pass)? - Include a hash of the .docx file (or relevant parts of it) in the HTML file, e.g. as a meta element or as part of the prefix on all id attributes Seems a good idea. Perhaps having it as a meta element will be enough, unless it makes sense for some reason to link each attribute to a specific .docx file. Still, this won't solve the problem above.
