 Can anybody help?


 Don't know them either. But am willing to post a polite message, if in the
 mean time (we're only 9 days later ;-) ) not someone else took action on
 this.

As there is no possiblity to write to the page owners I commented on
https://www.facebook.com/libreoffice.org/posts/364685130219760 with
some hints, but nobody of them replied.

I think we have to wait for the next pre-release and see how they will act.

Promoting RCs on Facebook

2012-03-07 Thread Volker Merschmann
Hi,

as already written to the marketing list:

Can the maintainer of https://www.facebook.com/libreoffice.org please
raise his hand?

I've seen again that the folder
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/ has been mentioned
there to promote testing.
This is not very useful as this is a single machine to carry the load.
It is better to wait for the mirror network, which makes the
test-builds available at
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/

Thank you.

Volker

Re: [libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.1 RC1 available

2012-02-27 Thread Volker Merschmann
Hi,

2012/2/26 Thorsten Behrens t...@documentfoundation.org:
 for the upcoming new version 3.5.1, the RC1 builds now start to be
 available on pre-releases. This build is slated to be one of two
 release candidate builds on the way towards 3.5.1, please refer to our
 release plan timings here:

  http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#3.5_release

 Builds are now being uploaded to a public (but non-mirrored - so don't
 spread news too widely!) place, as soon as they're available. Grab
 them here:

  http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/

 If you've a bit of time, please give them a try  report *critical*
 bugs not yet in bugzilla here, so we can incorporate them into the
 release notes. Please note that it takes approximately 24 hours to
 populate the mirrors, so that's about the time we have to collect
 feedback.

 The list of fixed bugs relative to 3.5.0 is here:

  http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-1-release-3.5.1.1.log

 So playing with the areas touched there also greatly appreciated - and
 validation that those bugs are really fixed.

There are some duplicate entries in the options menu for Writer here,
installed in german on Windows XP32. One localized, one in english,
for Mailmerge, Compatibility and AutoCaption.

 is that a parallel installer?

Yes, it is.

BTW I can tell that it installed fine on my Windows XP32.   I have
started to check the minimum functionality.

 Also please CC yourself on the EasyHack you created ;)

 still no takers? If nobody CCs himself in the next days I will kill the
 EasyHack status on that bug (A easy hack without a mentor is no easy hack).

 The bug history
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_activity.cgi?id=38884
 suggests to me that the was created with EasyHack in the
 description and that EasyHack was added to the whiteboard
 by--wait for it--Bjoern Michaelsen.  I wonder what it is
 that I do not understand.

 I think Bjoern migrated Easyhacks from some wiki page to bugzilla, so
 he is the bugzilla-reporter of old easyhacks.

Indeed he did: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=Development/Easy_Hacks_Complete_Listdiff=prevoldid=28253

So it has been added before that day, but has not been mentioned in
the comment. (Did *I* mention that comments are recommended at the
wiki?)

Is anybody willing to go through the list:

Re: [Libreoffice] Blocker Bug for 3.4.2 release

2011-08-01 Thread Volker Merschmann
Hi,

2011/7/30 Rainer Bielefeld libreoff...@bielefeldundbuss.de:
 I decided to rate Bug 39510 - CRASH closing document with footnotes
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39510 as a blocker, because
 LibO currently is unusable for scientific texts or other ones with many
 footnotes, see my Comment 7 in the bug.

 I know it's rather late and I do not know whether everyone will rate that
 one like me, but may be you can check severity of that bug?

I am sharing Rainers opinion.

Is there any decision on this?

[Libreoffice] Quality of nightly for beta2

2011-04-21 Thread Volker Merschmann
Hi all,

I have tried to install and use the actual nightly (20110420) on a
Windows XP system and found at least two obvious and annoying bugs.

The localisation is completely broken and you will get a crash every
time your closing it. See the bug-list here http://goo.gl/dXoAt

We should discuss if it makes sense to make the actual nightly for
windows (20110420) the beta2.

I know we will have more delay from time for the fixes, time to build
and at least easter.
But beta1 was desastrous and the people did not only look at us but
pointing with fingers too.
So we should go for quality imho.

Opinions anyone?

Bye

Volker
