Re: Remembering Ian Lynch in 4.1.2 announcement

2015-10-28 Thread O.Felka

+1


my personal opinion is that we should keep the release announcement
focused on the product. People behind and/or involved the project can be
addressed in a separate blog where we can also remember project members
who passed away.

People leave the project or became less active (including me) and new
people started to become more active and do more and more. I suggest to
focus on the new fresh blood that can make the difference in the future.

Procedural note: I didn't add it to my initial mail in order to keep it

brief motivation (1-2 lines), especially if you haven't participated in

for the -1 votes that have already been expressed too.

If this should be a vote no one has to argue for his decision.

Another problem came up that looks serious enough so that I would like
to cancel this vote, if nobody objects. Juergen, who started the vote,
is on vacation today, so I need your help to do that.

The problem is described by issue 124599 [1].  Here is a summary:


If you don't object to a cancellation of the vote then the current plan
is to provide a fix today, rebuild and upload tomorrow and re-start the
vote on the second RC on sunday or monday depending on how smooth this
process works.


*1 for the cancellation: AOO should have a working update for older 
versions.

Re: Drop support for OSX 10.4 and 10.5 for AOO 4.1

2013-08-08 Thread O.Felka

Am 08.08.2013 10:08, schrieb Herbert Duerr:


This is very true also in other areas. I suggest we drop support for OSX
10.4 and 10.5 for Apache OpenOffice 4.1.

There are some good points for the proposal:
- the latest update of OSX 10.4 was in 2007 and Apple dropped support
for it in May 2011
- the latest update of OSX 10.5 was in 2009 and Apple dropped support
for it in July 2012
- Mozilla stopped releasing for them after FireFox 16
- Google stopped releasing for them after Chrome 22
- Microsoft stopped releasing for them after MSO 2011
- Adobe stopped releasing for them in 2012
- Oracle only provides Java for OSX 10.6 and up
- Adium stopped releasing for them after Adium 1.4.5
- etc.


It sounds reasonable to drop these OSXs for AOO 4.1 and I would second 
the proposal.

But it's not a good style to drop an OS within a minor update.
What are the big changes in AOO 4.1 compared to 4.0 that we can't 
support these OSXs any longer?

We should have done that for AOO 4.0.

Olaf

When I consider what I hear in the real world, I would prefer a fast

x.0.x releases monthly are the way to go. I think LibreOffice really
got this right. If you do this, the users will be happier because they
anticipate happiness in the *near* future, not a year from now.



If we get quality we don't need quantity. We don't have to bother the 
user with monthly installations.
The majority of feedback I remember is: 'We don't want all these new 
features but we want it stable.'

Monthly updates are a pain in business areas.

Re: Do language packs have update notifications?

In OOo 3.3.0 we support Tamil with a language pack, but not a full

Are we able to notify 3.3.0 users of the Tamil language pack about the
update?  Is that something the update notification system can handle?
Or does it only handle updates to the base install?

AFAIR they don't have an update functionality.

Re: [CODE][PROPOSAL]: AOO 4.0 getting rid of the 3 layer office, part 1

2013-03-22 Thread O.Felka

Sorry for top posting but:

+1 !!!

Groetjes,
Olaf

Am 22.03.2013 17:15, schrieb Jürgen Schmidt:

Hi,

the so called 3layer office is not really useful anymore (it was never)
and makes more problems than it helps.

I thought that AOO 4.0 would be the best time to start at least with the
necessary rework. The main idea is to use a new simplified directory
layout and tweak the necessary config file (*rc, *.ini), rpath or
similar linker flags where necessary etc. Eliminate the URE completely
because we don't really want support it as a standalone product.

I did some initial work so far and I am now able to build an office for
Windows, MacOS and Linux with a new simplified directory layout.

Windows and MacOS have already one main directory whereas on Linux we
have openoffice (basis layer + URE) and openoffice4 (brand layer).

I removed all this base-link, ure-link, URE, urelib stuff and
reorganized the directories.

Example layout on Linux:
openoffice4
openoffice4/help
openoffice4/presets
openoffice4/program  - contains basis-link/program + URE/bin + URE/lib
openoffice4/program/misc  - former URE/share/misc - will be removed
openoffice4/README
openoffice4/README.html
openoffice4/readmes
openoffice4/share

In general the layout becomes more equal on all platforms.

The good news is that the office work on all 3 platforms, I am able to
select Java, extensions seems to work as well. Python is not yet tested,
language packs are not yet tested and built but in general I am thinking
it will be no problem.

Advantage of this move would be a simplified structure, long term a
simplified configuration when the *rc/*.ini files are consolidated.
Easier deployment on Linux, no conflicts with an URE from LO or the
distro at all.

My idea is to continue this basic work, do further cleanup in the office
as well as the build system, do further testing including the SDK...
Still some work to do but from my point of view a useful move forward to
get rid of this complex and unnecessary 3layer stuff.

What do you think?

On demand I can provide test builds if there are people interested to
help with testing.

Juergen
