[dev] Coverity Open Source Defect Scan of OpenOffice
Hello OpenOffice Developers, As some of you may have heard, last month Coverity set up http://scan.coverity.com as a site dedicated to scanning open source projects for defects. In just 1 month, over 4500 defects have been examined by various open source developers, and from what we can tell, it seems that there have been over 2500 patches to the scanned code bases! Due to popular request, I’m happy to announce that we’ve added OpenOffice to the list of projects scanned on the site. For those of you not familiar with scan yet and by way of introduction ... I'm the CTO of Coverity, Inc., a company that has technology that performs static source code analysis to look for defects in code. You may have heard of us or of our technology from its days at Stanford (the Stanford Checker). The reason I'm writing is because we have set up a framework internally to continually scan open source projects and provide the results of our analysis back to the developers of those projects. To see the results of the project, check out: http://scan.coverity.com My belief is that we (Coverity) must reach out to the developers of these packages (you) in order to make progress in actually fixing the defects that we happen to find, so this is my first step in that mission. Of course, I think Coverity technology is great, but I want to hear what you think and that's why I worked with folks at Coverity to put this infrastructure in place. The process is simple -- it checks out your code each night from your repository and scans it so you can always see the latest results. Right now, we're guarding access to the actual defects that we report for a couple of reasons: (1) We think that you, as developers of OpenOffice, should have the chance to look at the defects we find to patch them before random other folks get to see what we found and (2) From a support perspective, we want to make sure that we have the appropriate time to engage with those who want to use the results to fix the code. Because of this second point, I'd ask that if you are interested in really digging into the results a bit further for your project, please have a couple of core maintainers and/or developers reach out to us to request access. As this is a new process for us and still involves a small number of packages, I want to make sure that I personally can be involved with the activity that is generated from this effort. So I'm basically asking for people who want to play around with some cool new technology to help make source code better. If this interests you, please feel free to register on our site or email me directly. And of course, if there are other packages you care about that aren't currently on the list, I want to know about those too. If this is the wrong list, my sincerest apologies and please let me know where would be a more appropriate forum for this type of message. Many thanks for reading this far... -ben Ben Chelf Chief Technology Officer Coverity, Inc. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In our own case RedHat keeps and provides debuginfo rpms of extracted debugging data, so theoretically I guess we would be able to use the same or similiar process to make sense of crash reporter data from our stripped builds. Is the stripped stacktrace - stacktrace with symbols code used by the Sun process freely available in any form ? The tool heavily relies on our infrastructure to track the checksums and the setup we have over here so it would make no sense to make it available publicly. But it should not be too hard to build some tooling around addr2line to get the same results. FWIW http://people.redhat.com/caolanm/ooocvs/ooomapstack is a simple little script which does what I want on our stacktraces and sticks the line numbers back in for me.

For UNIX I suggest to use UNIX domain sockets in case of colocation of client and server, instead of TCP ... but with minimal admineffort/minimal harddisk-usage (for each instance do a complete oo-installation is possible but not the best solution!) Every running office instance needs its own user data (directory), you can provide a pointer to the user directory by providing a reasonable directory via the command line, e.g. soffice -env:UserInstallation=user directory for instance #1 soffice -env:UserInstallation=user directory for instance #2 ... soffice -env:UserInstallation=user directory for instance #n if the passed directory has not been populated yet, OOo asks for some data and fills it on the first start. and under windows ... the instances should start at system-start (without a logged in user). May be something around the quickstarter combined with UserInstallation ? Any windows gurus around? any ideas/scripts/?

Re: [dev] Adding extra menu element to HELP menu that opens a document from samples
Hi Kami Can you give me a hint how can I add an extra menu element to the help menu.

[dev] Why are the language packs so hard to find?
I need an OpenOffice that I can switch between English and German, so I either need a German version with Englisch language pack or the other way around. Now every time a new OOo version comes out I start hunting for a language pack. And I'm always disappointed that no matter where I click on www.openoffice.org I just can't find a download link for language packs. Why is that? And where do I find language packs for OOo 2.0.2?
