One could add a tag label="whatever" and then use "whatever" as label, or something similar. The code for the extension is here: https://github.com/tdf/misc/tree/master/wiki/EasyHacks The label is hardcoded to "EasyHack" here: https://github.com/tdf/misc/blob/master/wiki/EasyHacks/SimpleFeed.php#L139 So fairly easy to replace that with a different label in case a label or similar tag is added. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to projects+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/projects/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-projects] [ANN] LibreOffice 3.5.5 RC1 available
Dear Community, The Document Foundation is happy to announce the first release candidate of LibreOffice 3.5.5. The upcoming 3.5.5 will be the fifth in a series of frequent bugfix releases for our 3.5 code line. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.5.5 RC1 is not yet ready for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.5.4 for that. The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA builds download page at http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org A good way to assess the beta quality is to run some specific manual tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests#Full_Regression_Test (and the announcement mail: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-December/022464.html) For other ways to get involved with this exciting project - you can e.g. contribute code: http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/ translate LibreOffice to your language: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3.5 or help with funding our operations: http://challenge.documentfoundation.org/ A list of known issues and fixed bugs with 3.5.5 RC1 is available from our wiki: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.5.5/RC1 Please find the list of changes against LibreOffice 3.5.4 here: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/bugfixes-libreoffice-3-5-5-release-3.5.5.1.log Let us close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have been possible without your help.

[libreoffice-projects] Re: [Libreoffice-qa] minutes of the libreoffice qa call 2012-06-14
Hi all, here are the minutes of todays QA call. attending: Florian, Petr, Rainer, Bjoern pending action items: - write update scenario testcase in Litmus/MozTrap (Kendy) - Set Cor up with the Community/Forum maintainers at the distros to better propagate Hackfests, Bug Hunting Sessions etc. RedHat, Debian, Gentoo still missing + - Invite active bugwranglers to next call/QA list, CC Rainer (Bjoern) - merge 3.5 and 3.6 in one big bibisect repo (Bjoern) - recheck and tweak bibisect details (Bjoern) completed action items: - Update/Create active triagers wiki page (Cor/Rainer) dropped - collect further ideas for spending a dedicated resource (Cor/Rainer) mostly finished, BoD request approved - update bugwrangling docs to say CC instead of assign (Rainer) structured manual testing (Yifan/Petr): - no news bug wrangling (Rainer): - Board of Directors approved budget for Bugzilla improvement, pending SPI (Bjoern) - Bugzilla improvements (Rainer) - priorities: performance, OpenID, reporter confirmation, extensions, OpenHatch/MediaWiki, version nagger (Bjoern) - search email improvement a la SUSE bugzilla would be useful (Petr) AI: - research how it is done on SUSE/if there is a ready-to-use-extension for it (Petr) - MediaWiki integration would be useful in general bug now prefixes "EasyHack" everywhere (Rainer) AI:- Ping cloph if we can make that switchable to say "Bug" instead of "EasyHack" when explicitly requested (Bjoern) - bugzilla LibreOffice version format - long thread on the list - conclusion: go with 3.6.0.0.beta1 style(?), starting with 3.6.0.0.beta2 AI:- authoritive close of thread (Rainer/Petr) AI: - adapt script to new version theme (Markus) - localized bug reporting (question via Olivier Hallot) - we could set up a component for that (Rainer) - needs quick and reliable translators - will preduce lots of dupes (Bjoern) - will be problematic if feedback from the reporter is needed (Bjoern) - alternative: defer to the local mailing list and let an english speaker file the bug as proxy automated testing and review (Bjoern/Norbert?): - gerrit/tinderboxes - still has to consider all the consequences (Petr) - 1 day from tag to mirror -- we shouldnt prolong that (Petr) - indeed, gerrit should be a tool to use sensible -- it shouldnt stop inertia. only use it when it makes our life easier. (Bjoern) - dailies should always be build from tip of master, not including patches pending review - lots of conflicting opinions/views about tinderbox capabilities: - "we can build and test every commit on linux" - tinderbox with l10n has a 12 hour turnaround (that is ~50 commit steps) - Can we switch l10n off? (Florian) - discussion somewhat warped by these different assumptions community building/communication (Cor?): - beta testers for 3.6.0 beta 1 - 3.6.0 beta 1 available in ppa (Bjoern) - Wheres a good howto? (Florian) - http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/libreoffice-360-beta-1-released-ubuntu.html - best to install in a VM still - unfortunately no ppa stats: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1006323 - so far 16 beta bug reports in the first two weeks (vs. 25 for 3.5) - might just be better quality - we need more beta testers AI:- Are there any Bug Hunting Sessions in the pipe? (Cors) - SUSE will prepare packages for the beta for testing too (Petr) AI: - Could Fedora do this too? (Caolan?) - german QA meeting starting half an hour after the call (Florian/Rainer) bibisect for 3.5 release branch and 3.6 master (Bjoern/Korrawit): - no news The next call is on 2012-06-29 1400 UTC.
