Hi Raphael,


Is sameone around here with Java 7? I hear that LO 3.4.x has trubble
with Java 7. So this is
probabily also a problem at AOO 3.4. Can sameone test this?

i installed aoo34m1 revision 1226179 from
http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/
on my win xp 32bit vm with jre 1.6_24 - no problems

now i uninstalled jre 1.6_24 and installed jre 1.7_02,
but aoo does not find the new jre.
i cannot add the jre 1.7 via "tools - options - ooo-dev - java add.."
aoo tells me, the path does not contain a jre...

Thanks for the feedback. Then we have a problem... do you write a issue?
Or you prefer to fix it your self ;-)

Greetings Raphael




We have Issue 118352: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118352

Do we know what we have to test if AOO will support JRE 7.x? The 
detection on Tools | Options will not be enough.

Do you had OOo 3.4 Beta installed on your system? May be with
user-installed extensions.
I had it on my machine and the installation of the AOO developer
snapshot work without any problem, but it updated my installed OOo 3.4
Beta.
As I had no user-installed extension in my OOo 3.4 Beta I got no error
regarding the registration of extensions during the installation.
But, I first I did not run 'setup.exe -a' - I just installed it by
executing the installation set executable.
When I recognized that it trashed my OOo 3.4 Beta, I uninstall that
mixed version from my system and installed the developer snapshot again.
This works.
After the installation I had the folder with the installation files on
my disk. Here, I executed 'setup.exe -a' and successfully installed and
run it.

Can you give it another try?

I've done the installation on a virgin XP image. No Office has been

I tend to disagree here. It seems you're not subscribed to the issues
mailing list (ooo-issues-subscr...@incubator.apache.org). Many issues
have been discovered (and even solved) since we started providing builds
for testing purposes.


I'm writing about AOO and Java 7 (see subject).



Calling this a nonsense is underestimating the efforts of people doing the
build, people doing the QA (Regina, Reizinger, Oliver, et. al.), and
people solving the issues.

Just to quote an example, Regina's work testing the new SVG
implementation is remarkable, and I'm sure Armin appreciates it.


This example doesn't fit. I've you've watched the issue 
(https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118352) and this thread 
you'll see that I've been told to try

- http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/
- 
http://people.apache.org/~orw/DevSnapshots-Rev.1229535/win32/OOo-Dev_OOO340m1_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe

- http://people.apache.org/~orw/
That's not the same as the work of Regina and Armin.




Facts have shown that builds are useful, we have volunteers willing to
help QAing, so we should keep providing them until we have official weekly
Developer Snapshots.

That said, I agree that the situation is suboptimal, but we do not have
buildboots for all platforms yet.


It makes no sense
to jump from developer playground A to developer build b to c to see
if something is fixed or not.



Back to the present issue, as I wrote in the bug, we have to split:

a) this issue, detect JRE 7.0 version
b) issues with things that don't work with JRE 7


For (b), please open new bug reports of the kind "[java 7] XXX does not work"
or the like. And set them as blockers for i118352 when/if they are
confirmed.


And I wrote that this are two sides of one medal. Fixing a) without b) 
is senseless. So it has to be fixed in one go.

Olaf

I think that it is worth the effort and very helpfull to translate the
old Star Basic tests to Java. We have had always regressions in the
existing and 'stable' functions. So we really need the old tests for
finding regressions in the existing functionality.

Mentors and IPMC members have had 8 months to offer IP related

a Release Candidate is especially effective at concentrating their
attention on that task.

We should plan on having multiple RC iterations. There are enough
unwritten rules related to release requirements that we'll almost
certainly need several iterations.   But the most effective way to
uncover these unwritten rules is by proposing a RC for a release vote.


A release by votes? Wouldn't it be better to have some
concrete release criteria?
Having some quality goals that must be reached?

-Windows 7 64/32 bit
-Windows Vista 64/32 bit
-Windows XP SP2


No tests for Windows 2000?


-RedHat Enterprise Linux(RHEL) 64 bit/32 bit
-Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit/32 bit
-Mac OS 10.7(Lion)
-Mac OS 10.6.x
-Mac 10.5


Additional Platform are suggested:

-FreeBSD 9.0/8.2
-OS/2
-Solaris x86 10


2. Extension testing
Volunteers can get the extension list from:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/ (??)

-Directory
-Extensions based on OOo (Verify they still works with IP clearance
work done in AOO 3.40
-Extensions based on AOO (View by "Most Recent" category on
extension page)


3. Basic Interoperability Testing
The test scenarios cover:

-Load
-Save
-Reopen

And the interoperability cover both compatibility with MS office 2003/MS
office 2010 and old OOo versions.

4. General testing
Do free testing on AOO six components, Math, Base, Draw, Impress,
Writer, Calc for three days.

5. Globalization and Translation testing
If other languages build are offered as RC builds(seems we will only
have English only RC build for AOO 3.4), quick globalization and
  translation testing will be done. Which include:

- Check the UI
- Switch locale and check some culture related functions, such as
currency, date, formula etc.


The above testing are supposed to be done during 1 week and during this
week, if no critical issues are reported, we can say the RC build is ready
to ship based on vote.

I did some additional tests for r1299571 on Windows XP and Suse 11.3

Hi Ian,

I've made some tests om Windows and linux with the vcl testtool you've 
mentioned. Most tests have passed successfully.
But it's true, the testtool and the testscripts are no longer maintained 
and I think that they won't be valid in upcoming AOO versions.
The testcases can be found in the sources of AOO in

Am 30.11.2011 11:16, schrieb Gianluca Turconi:

This message, as Andre Fischer suggested in the thread "GPL'd
dictionaries", is a separated discussion in order to find a final
consensus about how to provide Linguistic Tools replacements after the
removal of GPL'd modules.

The solutions that were suggested (though without volunteers' manpower
to implement them ;-) are:

a) download the extension (assuming that the right locale can be
detected) automatically from the extension repository during
installation;

b) as last step of the installation, pop up a web page that, among
other things, tells the user that there is a dictionary extension that
can be installed and what its license is;

c) let the user know that there is one (or multiple) linguistic tools
pack extension for his/her native language when the main AOO binary is
downloaded.

d) to consider the distribution and inclusion of GPL'd Linguistic Tools
as 'mere aggregation" according to GPL.

Point d) needs legal endorsement from Apache, of course.

IMO, in a transition phase, point c) is the easiest one.

In the long run, point d), if legally doable, is the better one.

Regards,

Gianluca


From a user point of view we can't only deliver an Office without 
solution d). Coming along with an Office without a "out of the box" 
spell checking is unprofessional.


Solution a) is not good because opening an internet connection at 
installation time without telling what's going on looks pretty insecure.


With b) I as a user would notice this as "nice to know" as I expect this 
to work out of the box and close the nag screen. And as a user I'm not 
interested in license stuff.


The same for c): Why should the user care because this should work out 
of the box.

IMHO this applies also for the strings in the basename for the install

Sure, we'll have to :

- modify the application name ( instsetoo_native, sysui, desktop,

You can find a signed download file under

NOICE: this is a build based on AOO34 branch without the updated version
numbers. It's no dev build, please be careful if you test it.

I have to check the whole process and probably have to improve some
things to make it final. The last important step is triggered manual by
now.

I use a Personal Information Exchange file (*.pfx) of my self signed
certificate with a passcode that is specified during the build process.

This seems to be a good approach to handle a certificate in this
scenario and during our build process.

Regina,

thank you for your good work.


One minor remark:
May be we can use status "VERIFIED" for a two step verification:
First step, verification on a dev. snapshot or on built version or ...
--> change status to "VERIFIED".
Second step, verification on a release candidate --> closing issue.
It is just an idea for discussion.
The two step verification would decrease the possibility that a
sucessful made fix may be got lost by another change before the next
release is coming out.


We had this two step verification before and end up in a lot of verified
but not closed issues. Which in the end lead to a large campaign to
close all those issues. Such two step verification would need an
automatic "reminder". I do not know, whether it is possible in Bugzilla
or how it can be organized in other ways.


at least in OOo we haven't re-verified the issues in MWS. We've been 
confident in the release process that all CWSes that have been 
integrated bringing the fixes in the MWS.
We've waited for about six month after release and closed all verified 
issues for this release in one go.


If we have reached the state that we are confident that all fixes in dev 
will come to the master we can think about a process to close the issues 
without a second verification.

Olaf

I think that "Make sure it is a valid issue" [1] is not a QA job only. 
DEV is involved also and should be in future.

I' m curious about this bug. I have OpenJDK 7 installed on my system

the word processing and spreadsheet components).

Is there a bug filed against OpenJDK7 for this?

Yes:

Re: Should quickstarter be enabled or disabled by default?

2012-07-19 Thread O.Felka

Hi,


We had a problem that is fixed and the quickstarter provides more
features that people like. And people who don't like can already disable it.


I also see the benefit of the Quickstarter.



I see no reason at the moment to change here anything because the
problem is fixed.


+1



If we have problems with a feature let us fix it and not drop the
feature completely ;-)


'Hey, we have a bug in Writer? No problem, let's disable it.' :-)



But that is only my personal opinion


Do you have another one?

Re: [VOTE][DISCUSS]: Release Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 (incubating)

The only issue I saw is that when we install over 3.3.0 or 3.4.0, we
leave behind the older version's unpacked files on the desktop, the
files from the earlier install.  Those files could be deleted to save
disk space.  But this is not a regression and is not a critical issue.

It's not a common software behavior to delete old installation files and 
we shouldn't do that too.

The installation files are not temporary files, they are needed for 
maintenance mode. It's not helpful to delete them. It might be better to 
delete the download file.

I agree with Oliver, the default status should be set to UNCONFIRMED
even if the reporter has canconfirm privileges. IMHO "confirmed" means
"confirmed by some else".



We have a lot of professional QA folks here: They know how to verify 
their findings and issues. That's a lot of overhead if someone has to 
re-test to confirm a well tested bug.

So we should trust the QA who has 'canconfirm' privileges.

I don't see much overhead; on the contrary, every careful reporter,
after pressing "Submit", surely goes and check if he did fill everything
ok.  Leaving the default status to unconfirmed works just like
a reminder to be careful.


A careful submitter will check before he presses the ok button.

Herbert,
I would like to save you the effort to make the change, even if it
won't cost much.

The key thing here is we should be careful and avoid opening duplicate
or invalid issues as many as we can.

I would like to see some concrete examples, especially invalid issues.
And see if this is pervasive for all the reporters who have confirm
right.

i am pretty sure that i did not set the "confirmed" status when
submitting a new issue,
default status is "confirmed" - and you have to select "Show Advanced

to see the listbox ... this seems to be the root cause of the problem ...



I agree with Oliver, the default status should be set to UNCONFIRMED

Seeing so much consensus I'm confident that we'll reach "lazy consensus" by
next monday (2012/9/19 + 72h) and I volunteer to change the behavior then.

So please speak up now if you disagree with the opinion that the extra step
to the "confirmed" status is an idea that does benefit the quality of our

Re: Did we ever reach consensus on support for Windows 2000

2012-09-28 Thread O.Felka

Ah, I just had an idea.  Google Analytics tells us how many users are
running Windows 2000.  It gets that info from the browser agent header
in the HTTP requests.  If I look at all website visits since AOO 3.4.0
was released the breakdown for Windows users is:

758.83%
XP29.74%
Vista10.31%
NT0.62%
Server 20030.36%
20000.13%
980.01%
ME0.00%
CE0.00%
(not set)0.00%
950.00%

So, 0.13% are running Windows 2000.


With that numbers I would propose to drop everything below 1%. We are
lucky, we do not need to *guess*, we have numbers. Thanks, Rob!


+1

Regards,
Olaf



We have limited ressources and everything we try to keep alive costs
some of these (even if not always recognized, see binfilter discussions).

With limited ressources keeping this means to evtl. not do things which
would serve the other 99% better.

Drop it.

Just my 2 ct...
