Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Ability to have Snap/Flatpak/etc. for bug hunting season

Some contributors aren't eager to test because installing the current .deb/.rpm could interfere with their current profile. Having a simple Flatpak/Snap/AppImage packages could ease the ongoing bug hinting process. This can be solved fairly easily is some steps are followed. If the pre-release version agrees with the current version (e.g.:6.4.4.2 and 6.4.2.2 resp.), then the pre-release needs to be installed in parallel, both the installation file and the help file that goes with it. How to do this is on the LibreOffice website. Then the bootstrap file for 6.4.4.2 needs to be modified. The /4 needs to be /6.4.4.2 (this requires administrative rights). If desired, with administrative rights, the entire 6.4.4.2 installation folder can be moved to /opt/ next to the 6.4.2.2 version. Now when 6.4.4.2 is first run, a new folder appears in ~/.config/libreoffice/. I do this all of the time. Dan I know some images are not managed by TDF directly, but providing one for those we officially support could help IMHO.

[Libreoffice-qa] Bug #92434
I have downloaded 5.0.0.4 RC4 this morning. I will be checking this bug against it. If I find a problem, do I add a comment to the bug, or do I file a new bug? Two days ago, I added a comment to this bug after testing it against that day's daily build. The bug was still there. I reopened it at that point. This is why I am asking. I'm not sure I did the right thing in reopening the bug. I will list my results by this afternoon (I live in eastern US).

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Base 4.3.0.4 has serious problems with forms with subforms within subforms
There are now three bug reports on this particular problem: 81976, 82150 (mine), and 82151 (filed by the person who mentioned the problem in the user list). I have marked mine as a duplicate of 81976. Between the three bug reports, there are three databases which exhibit the problem. How much confirmation is needed? Any idea when this might be fixed?

[Libreoffice-qa] Report Builder Bug #68190
I have just filed this bug about a property for header, Detail, and footer sections of the Report Builder. The problem is with the *Force New Page* property. This sets the page breaks for a report. For LibreOffice 4.1.0.4, the names used in this property do not match where the page breaks appear. What I get are the following results: None: the page breaks appears after the last control of the section. Before: the page break appears before and after the section. After: the page break appears before the section. Before and after: no page breaks appear. It would be nice is some developer could rearrange the order so the names match the location of the page breaks. --Dan ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Purposes for the Integer field types in LibO 4.0.2
Hello Robert, Thanks for the quick reply. You were right: I had a MySQL database when opened a table in Design View to see what the Field Types were in LO 4.0.2.2. I found MEDIUMINT when I searched my user guide for MySQL. It listed the lengths for these field types in terms of Bytes instead of bits. (I understand the meaning of both.) Once I saw what you had written, I understood how each of these lengths were written: 1 bit for the + or -, and the rest of the bits contain the number. I also have a copy of the HSQLDB 1.8 user guide on my hard drive and have seen this table there also. --Dan On 04/19/2013 02:37 PM, Robert Großkopf wrote: Hello Dan, the list you created I couldn't read so well, so I add a new list: The data-types of the HSQLDB are defined in the description of the HSQLDB.

[Libreoffice-qa] proposed mysql-connector-ooo for 32 bit Linux for LibreOffice 4.X
I have built this connector while also building LibreOffice 4.0.1 alpha. I am also beginning the process to add it to the Extensions on the LO website.

The build was installed in /usr/lib/... . So, being curious, I tried sudo make Hmm, you should've probably done a make dev-install instead of make install, as now, you've got a link to your dev build in your /usr/lib/, i.e. it will have overwritten any default LO installation that you already had, I think. The advantage of make dev-install is that it keeps everything in your LO development directory. install instead. The build was installed within the solver folder as it should be. I made ooenv executable and ran it. Since then I have run soffice and looked at Help About LibreOffice. I now have my own alpha build number! One further test: I ran Base in my new LO-DEV opening MySQL.odb which connects to my MySQL server. (This is a copy of the file I use to connect to MySQL. So, if it becomes corrupted, I still have the original database file.) I successfully connected to the MySQL server. Again because I was curious, I looked at the libreoffice configuration folder, specifically the extension folder. It contained buildid file which contained a number. I checked this number against the build number of my new Alpha version. They matched. It appears that I have created an alpha version of the MySQL native connector. So where is this connector in the extension folder? What is the next step to convert it into the .oxt final version? The connector itself isn't alpha anything, as the actual connector libary code doesn't change version much, and was only bumped to 1.0.2 last year with a change in the requirement for the version of libmysqlclient. As for its whereabouts, you should be able to find it here : /core/workdir/unxlngx6.pro/ExtensionTarget/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt and /core/solver/unxlngx6.pro/bin/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt and /core/mysqlc/unxlngx6.pro/bin/mysql-connector-ooo.oxt In my builds, it has a size of about 2Mb. This is because the connector links to libmysqlclient and libmysqlcppconn, whereas on the Mac, it is packaged altogether with these libraries (or at least it should be) leading to an OXT file that weighs in at about 4Mb. Alex What I have done: Created a folder for the files for the LO build: LO-Build. Added the AOO mysql-native-connector 1.0.1 to LO 4.0.0.3, and closed LO. Installed libmysqlclient18 and libmysqlcppconn5 Used git to download the master build. Ran autogen.sh --with-ext-mysql-connector --with-system-mysq Ran make dev-install Made ooenv executable and ran it. Ran soffice in the program folder of my new alpha build. But when I searched for mysql-connector on the command line (I ran sudo updatedb first). I found a folder named lu17qwu9.tmp_/mysql-connector-ooo-1.0.1-linux-intel.oxt. This is located at /home/dan/.config/libreoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/. I had earlier also installed the same mysql-native-connector on LO 3.6.5.2. If it matters, doing this search I found a similar folder in /home/dan/.config/libreoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/: luxhljqk.tmp_/mysql-connector-ooo-1.0.1-linux-intel.oxt/.

All open bugs in Base today: 225 Bugs, which are Unconfimed: 27 Bugs, which are Needinfo: 26 I don't think that we need automatically way to get these bugs away. Problem of many of these bugs: They couldn't be confirmed by everybody, because there are special configurations with external databases or Mac. What we need: developers, who will work on bugs in Base. There are many bugs New and opened since the first version of LO. Robert I agree with Robert. This also goes to a complaint that I saw on the LibreOffice user list. The person wanted more time spent by the developers on removing the bugs that exist in LO and less time on producing more code that contains more bugs. This is poor planning. From Robert's data, 172 open bugs have not had a developer correct . These are the ones that have been confirmed and contained enough data for a developer to begin work. That is 76% of the bugs reported for Base. A bug reporting system is only as good as the resources allocated to fixing the bugs. Otherwise, people send in bug reports that may or may not even have a developer look at them. Meanwhile, another milestone is reached as a newer version comes out containing some of these bugs. Where is the quality assurance in that? The symptom we have is many bug reports that need additional information. But what is causing this? Could it be that there are too many versions being produced at the same time? (3.6.5 and 4.0.0) Personally, I think LO (perhaps the BOD) needs to look at what is being done and what effects it is having on the product they are making available for downloading. --Dan ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

Thanks in advance! And there has been quit a bit of subsequent discussion. I wonder just what Lionel was proposing [1] after the announcement [2] of changed licence for the mariadb / mysql client library. I was commenting that for LibreOffice, this is not sufficient. We, as a project, have decided not to ship (binaries compiled from) GPL code in our main product, that is LibreOffice (we do ship GPL code that does not end up in LibreOffice, e.g. in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/dev-tools/tree/make-3.82-gbuild ). The MySQL native (SDBC) connector is made as follows:: MySQL SDBC connector itself (SISSL / Apache / LGPL licence, depending on version) using MySQL Connector/C++ (GPL) using MySQL Connector/C (AKA libmysql or client Library) (GPL) Swapping out the MariaDB client library for the MySQL client library brings the picture to: MySQL SDBC connector itself using MySQL Connector/C++ (GPL) using libmariadb (LGPL) So still not OK for integration into LibreOffice proper, because still a GPL component. For us to be able to ship the MySQL SDBC connector (with our current self-imposed policy), one of these things has to be done: 1) Write an Apache/BSD/LGPL/... licensed clone of MySQL Connector/C++ OR 2) Change the MySQL SDBC connector to not need MySQL Connector/C++, but use libmysql/libmariadb directly (these are API-compatible; we would ship with libmariadb, but if a downstream user would want to swap it with libmysql, technically there should be no problem) But that's only *our* policy. Any third party can make a different choice, and e.g. Debian has made another choice and *does* ship GPL code, including the MySQL Connector/C++ and the MySQL SDBC connector for use with LibreOffice. It is my understanding any such third party would be allowed to upload the MySQL SDBC connector for use with LibreOffice to extensions.libreoffice.org; I don't see on that website a policy that forbids that. If any such third party would do that, at least for Microsoft Windows and MacOS X, I believe it would make some of our users happier. Then perhaps it is time to reconsider *your* policy. Or, perhaps you should explain to us what problem does the GPL license present to LibreOffice? This seems a little hypocritical. You will not include GPL licensed code in LO that you make available for download. Yet, the same website can contain extensions that include GPL licensed code. As a result, we the users of LO may have to use inferior software in the extensions because you will not provide us with a good SDBC to connect to MySQL or MariaDB. There is another possibility: provide a JDBC that can be used. Is there a license problem with that also? I know there is a potential Java problem. --Dan How would this compare in effort and benefit to the job of making the mysql extension work with LibreOffice 4.0? The MySQL extension just needs to be compiled/linked against LibreOffice 4.0; then it should work. No development work needed. Only building (for GNU/Linux and MacOS (if necessary): on an OS install as old as what the extension wants to be compatible with). So, here's how it compares in effort and benefit, it being the stuff described in the ESC minutes that you linked to. - MUCH more work - MUCH more benefit, since it would allow the MySQL SDBC connector to be bundled with LibreOffice. I will *gladly* review a patch that does that! Just by the way, does this change of licence return mysql to consideration for LO's built-in database [4]? No, because this is only the client library, not the database engine itself. For our embedded database, we want to ship a database engine. The database engine is still GPL. Be it MySQL or MariaDB. ___ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/

Under Windows the installation fails. Linux-user might think: Connector is installed, no error appears, should work - but it doesn't: ... No SDBC driver was found for the given URL. OK, I understand. Perhaps this points to a possible bug in the Extension Manager itself. The AOO version of this connector seems to install, but it fails to enable the connector. I have clicked the connector, and two buttons appear: Enable and Delete. When I click the Enable button, I get the error message. Seems to me that installing an extension should also enable it. Then if someone wants to disable an extension, he can open the Extension Manager to do this.
