If "svn up" does nothing in main/apple_remote for you, yes it does.

Else rebuild libAppleRemote.dylib

Note : hdu seems to have removed mxi suffix recently. Just rename the  
lib in case OOo doesn't start, because checked in SalData at launch



Thank you !

Let's proceed the incremental way : first be sure there is no  
problem, or fix the potential issue in OpenOffice.org, then we'll see  
for the other cases.




I couldn't see any problem with my versions of OOo 3.2.1, 3.3.0 or
3.4.0-dev (last dev build provided by Oracle).




I recently fixed several issues in Apache OpenOffice.org source code,  
and I added another part I forgot to commit in OOo3.3.x long time ago.


Now, the metallic remote should work (apologies, I don't have one  
myself), but maybe there is another issue elsewhere in the code (in  
slideshow, or vcl probably).



Thanks for the feedback,

White of course. :-)

This is the issue one reported me  :-/

So it occurs at least whith  OOo3.4.0 + 10.6 + white remote

I think the isue is deep in the system, and to reproduce it, you'll  
probably have to reboot.


What I could do, is try to find someone using 10.6 close to me, and  
debug myself locally too (will save time).

 1. The public names of Apache committers are all available on this page, 
listed by User ID: <http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html>.

 2. Although the SVN only shows the ID of the committer, the practice at Apache 
is that if the author is different than the committer, the author is 
acknowledged in the commit message (along with bug ID, etc.).  If that has not 
been done in some case, it is possible to correct the log message.  

 3. When others make use of AOOo fixes, there is sufficient information to 
acknowledge the source of the fix and not have incorrect designation of author 
by another project.  And vice versa.

I am used to a certain amount of vitriol on the Apache OO mailing lists, but I

You are implying there was a "first time" were LibreOffice cleared your name of
your contribtion. This is simply not true. The ARM patch was upstreamed from
Debian Packaging, where it was already cleared of any author information or bug
reference. It had therefore to be assumed to be of Debian origin. If you want
to put any blame, but it there, not on LibreOffice. Once the truth came to
light (IIRC by my Canonical co-worker Jani Monoses hinting you at it, which
does not exactly suggest malicious intend), we very quickly contacted you to
rectify the situation. Ironically, in the process of this, we discovered that
recent gcc versions provide better code themselves, so none of this code is
even used in current releases. As the original ASM code is not even SMP-safe
and all the compilers Ubuntu use provided a better solution, I could have
dumped that patch -- but we left it in for vanilla gcc 4.5 versions (not Ubuntus
fixed one). And we (actually Jani) fixed the original patch, so that it would
be SMP-safe on old, non-Ubuntu compilers. Looking back, I would have loved to
have never touched that patch at all: it created a lot of work and no extra
value for LibreOffice on Ubuntu.

As for the patches lifted from Apache by Thorsten: Complain to the guys who
maintain that nostalgic SCM at Apache to provide more explicit author
information. LibreOffice really cant be blamed if Apache publishes your work in
ways that do not suit you.

To sum it up: There was not even a "first time" -- the people on the
LibreOffice project behaved correctly in both cases.

Best,

Bjoern

Everybody can take the code from our svn repository and as long as the 
original author is identified i think it's ok. If the information 
provided by svn is not sufficient we have indeed to solve this problem 
on our side.


So again please stop this discussion here or move it to the LibreOffice 
lists where it belongs to.


If LibreOffice thinks that they can benefit from our work here it's fine 
and they can use it (and i am sure they will). That's allowed by the 
Apache license anyway and hopefully our users of a free available (and 
OpenOffice based) office suite will benefit from this in the end ;-)

Hi Eric, all,

I am used to a certain amount of vitriol on the Apache OO mailing lists, but I

Well, the people who know me know I'm always glad and happy to share
my code, everytime I can. But this is not the first time : previous

discussion with Jani Monoses and Björn Michaelsen.


You are implying there was a "first time" were LibreOffice cleared your name of
your contribtion. This is simply not true. The ARM patch was upstreamed from
Debian Packaging, where it was already cleared of any author information or bug
reference. It had therefore to be assumed to be of Debian origin. If you want
to put any blame, but it there, not on LibreOffice. Once the truth came to
light (IIRC by my Canonical co-worker Jani Monoses hinting you at it, which
does not exactly suggest malicious intend), we very quickly contacted you to
rectify the situation. Ironically, in the process of this, we discovered that
recent gcc versions provide better code themselves, so none of this code is
even used in current releases. As the original ASM code is not even SMP-safe
and all the compilers Ubuntu use provided a better solution, I could have
dumped that patch -- but we left it in for vanilla gcc 4.5 versions (not Ubuntus
fixed one). And we (actually Jani) fixed the original patch, so that it would
be SMP-safe on old, non-Ubuntu compilers. Looking back, I would have loved to
have never touched that patch at all: it created a lot of work and no extra
value for LibreOffice on Ubuntu.

As for the patches lifted from Apache by Thorsten: Complain to the guys who
maintain that nostalgic SCM at Apache to provide more explicit author
information. LibreOffice really cant be blamed if Apache publishes your work in
ways that do not suit you.

To sum it up: There was not even a "first time" -- the people on the
LibreOffice project behaved correctly in both cases.

Best,

Bjoern

Which was done, just without the awkward extra step of having looked up
a realname in the committer-index. For example,

Eric has complained about handles instead of real names before.

Perhaps he should login to id.apache.org and see how his "Full name" is set.

Dave

this is a number that has become utterly meaningless: it was updated for
every weekly milestone build in a certain office in Hamburg that is now
empty.  in LO the about dialog displays the git hash(es) of the built
source instead, probably AOOo should do the same with the SVN revision.
