* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 5.2.7 RC1 status
+ test failures, didn’t get a build that make-check worked for 1st time.
+ running checks manually – they pass.
+ issues with build parallelism here.
+ sometimes complex test or XStyleLoader2 test – only on Windows.
+ tried 4-5 times, not working – for complete check
+ is it upgrading the compiler ? (Thorsten)
+ random toolchain timing symptom (Michael)
+ random windows updates too – what changed ? (Cloph)
+ only on 5.2? (Miklos)
+ 5.3 rare to run into issues – sometimes XStyleloader2 (Cloph)
AI: + investigate signing issues around files (Cloph)
+ 5.3.3 RC1 status
+ tag yesterday – builds are currently underway
+ available tomorrow.
+ 5.4. builds / master
+ Alpha 1 – April 25th(?) - hard feature-freeze May 15th(?)
alpha still from master , libreoffice-5-4 tag along with
feature-freeze
+ translation problems
+ cleanup & re-shuffling in the src files
+ that changed lots of message contexts.
+ around 20k words to translate → thye’re not happy.
+ now down to 1500 – 2000 words; still some left.
+ improving quickly.
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ some patches need review, and some integrated.
+ no new builds yet.
+ online
+ propose skip 5.3.3 rc1 and do an rc2.
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ Zarro unconfirmed documentation bugs
+ thanks to Xisco mailing him the doc. bugs quickly.
+ New page on HC for Template manager (C. Vance and ohallot)
+ Need to review many other outdated/invalid pages on the subject
+ Guides: Change of templates for chapters triggers heavy work on update
+ style names changed – investigating if this is necessary
+ Fixes in help contents after translators
+ Tests LOOL to evaluate use for collaborative content insertion
for Guides, encouraging results with track changes,
but some issues open, e.g. protection.
+ may be better suited for doc. Authors rathern than caring about
formats
+ have to download / edit / up-load cycle currently – which is a pain.
+ use the current site – with latest master/online builds.
+ testing some issues; been reported & fixed by Pranav
+ poking at two users – to see how they interfere – v. optimistic.
* should we have keywords not components in bugzilla (Heiko)
+ would need to move things from writer → documentation etc.
+ what’s wrong with a component ? (Xisco)
+ don’t see the problem.
+ some bugs have multiple facets: l10n, UI, documentation (Heiko)
AI: + come up with a proposal (Xisco, Heiko, Olivier)
