Re: Fwd: [RELEASE]: propose RC3 on revision 1586584
Another suggestion: We should aim for smallest code base. The smaller the code is, the better chances an update won't break anything. This can be achieved by: a. removal of non used features b. making less used features available via extensions c. one UI element per task (avoiding duplicates in UI) d. rewriting certain modules more efficiently (i.e. performing the same task with 80 lines of code instead 100 lines of code) On Fri, Apr 11, 2014, at 14:24, Yuzhen Fan wrote: Hi QAs and all volunteers, You are invited to test this RC3 if you have time and would like contribute to the AOO 4.1.0.

Integrated fixes for https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124617 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124639 The fix for https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124636 is not integrated because it is not really critical and the fix is not yet well enough tested. It is potentially not understandable for people why we don't integrate all available fixes but our experience have shown that even minor and on the first look uncritical fixes can cause regressions. As acting release manager it is my goal to stabilize the release branch and bring the planned release out. I am sometimes to optimistic and over motivated and try to push a release. But this time it becomes again clear that our code base is tricky and complex and we need probably more time to stabilize and test it. We published a Beta with 20 downloads and received no critical feedback which was promising. But with the first RC we got several critical issues and partly on code that is in the product since last year. I am sure we can do better and the question after the release will be how we can improve this. Quality is important for us and I invite all to think about ways how we can improve this together.

Here are my findings: There is no problem updating from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 The Startup Group, the desktop icon and the Add/Remove list are updated as expected. The problem only occurs when updating from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0 and from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0 There are 3 items that fail: there are 2 startup groups, there are 2 desktop icons and there are two entries in the Add/Remove Programs list. Updating from 4.0.1 to 4.1.0 using the MS patch is a little better: there is only one entry in the Add/Remove Programs list after updating (the 4.1.0 as expected). However there are still 2 desktop icons and 2 startup groups (in this case the patch fails to set the OO icon as the group icon while the full installer succeeds) How do you want me to report all these in bugzilla?

I have installed scenario 2 (- Upgrade install 4.1.0 over an existing 4.0.1) with en_US and PT under Windows XP Pro x86 SP3 en_US. Overall everything seems to be working perfectly but there is a small quirk: the Startup Group for 4.0.1 is not removed so you end up with two startup groups with different names pointing at the same folder. In addition the OpenOffice logo shows on the 4.0.1 group but not on the 4.1.0. I know these are small cosmetic problems but could be confusing for users. I can create a bugzilla report if necessary.

The whole mechanism is very complex and it seems that we have overseen a small detail. No big thing we just have to rebuild for now and have to test the patch mechanism a little bit more. That means also that the msp have to be used even more careful. They work to upgrade a 4.0.1 to a 4.1 but the next msp for a potential 4.2 or 4.1.1 can't be applied to a patched 4.0.1. The current problem is that the new full install sets can't be installed over an existing 4.0.1 this.

E.g. if the solution for problem X is 1+1 then Apache must find a workaround to reach the same result (something like (2*(1+1))/2 )??? What if there is a *single* solution to a problem (e.g. there should be a comma where there is a semi comma by mistake)?

Re: Beta Survey
0) How did you hear about the beta? 10) What other versions are installed on your PC along with this beta? 11) What changes relative to beta do you expect to see in the release candidate? 12) What is the next appropriate release (4.1.1 / 4.2 / 5)?

But that doesn't give us a good sense of coverage. If there were no beta testers of the Bulgarian translation (for example) then we'd probably want to take a closer look, at that specific package. I'm putting together a beta survey that we can have beta testers fill out, to record their testing experience. I'm thinking of questions like: 1) What platform they ran with 2) What language they used 3) How many hours they have used AOO beta 4) Which apps did they use 5) What file formats did they read/write 6) Link to a list of P1 bugs reported on beta: Did they encounter any of these bugs? 7) Did they encounter any other bugs? (Nudge them to enter a BZ report) 8) Did they try any of the new features in AOO 4.1 (list them) 9) Any other comments (free text response) Does anyone have any other suggested questions? The plan would be to send out the survey early next week, before the beta period is done, so we can react to any feedback. -Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qa-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: qa-h...@openoffice.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qa-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: qa-h...@openoffice.apache.org

The Beta release is intended to reach more early adopters and to receive more valuable feedback to improve potentially critical areas for the final release.

A very huge step forward to reach and better support disabled users especially on Windows. The second improvement is the switch to 64 bit on MacOS. A long and overdue must do shift forward to support newer APIs (replace deprecated APIs) and platforms on MacOS. And we can provide again more complete UI translations and have now support for 37 languages. New languages for this release compared to 4.0.1 are Bulgarian, Danish, Hindi, Norwegian Bokmal and Thai.

AOO was installed from arc file of the Buildbots. Ah, that's the reason. Linux has a different development philosophy than most other platforms. On other platforms you tell the compiler to target a specific baseline (e.g. OSX 10.4 or Windows XP). On Linux the philosophy used to be just recompile if any of the libraries changed its APIs or update from your system's specific package repository where one of the maintainers did that for you. Things have gotten much better since but selecting a target API is still not easily possible. So to solve this for our releases we use the greatest common denominator approach on Linux: Linux nowadays tries not to break older binaries, so we're using a very old system for building the packages. A system old enough that most current systems can work with it. These ancient systems are how we build our releases and release snapshots. Now the Linux64 buildbot uses Ubuntu 10.4 and the Linux32 buildbot runs on Ubuntu 12.4. These systems are quite new and their new compilers are much better than what is provided by the greatest common denominator systems, which enables them to find and report important bugs. The drawback is that unless your system is a descendant of these newer Linux systems the builds they create are unusable for you. I suggest to check the official release candidate snapshots if we're in the release phase. They have the maximum binary compatibility. If you want to check the latest experimental trunk releases created by buildbots running new distributions I suggest to install that same distribution or one of its descendants.

Re: Some thoughts on quality
Dear Rob The 4.0 release was too ambitious - we should advance in smaller steps. Nothing compares to general public testing - betas and release candidates should not be avoided. TestLink cases should be less comprehesive (in terms of feature coverage) and more stress testing oriented. Regards, Edwin On Wed, Aug 14, 2013, at 19:59, Rob Weir wrote: We're working now on AOO 4.0.1, to fix defects in AOO 4.0.0. The fact that we're doing this, and their are no arguments against it, shows that we value quality. I'd like to take this a step further, and see what we can learn from the defects in AOO 4.0.0 and what we can do going forward to improve. Quality, in the end, is a process, not a state of grace. We improve by working smarter, not working harder. The goal should be to learn and improve, as individuals and as a community. Every regression that made it into 4.0.0 was added there by a programmer. And the defect went undetected by testers. This is not to blame. It just means that we're all human. We know that. We all make mistakes. I make mistakes. A quality process is not about becoming perfect, but about acknowledging that we make mistakes and that certain formal and informal practices are needed to prevent and detect these mistakes. But enough about generalities. I'm hoping you'll join with me in examining the 32 confirmed 4.0.0 regression defects and answering a few questions: 1) What caused the bug? What was the root cause? Note: programmer error is not really a cause. We should ask what caused the error. 2) What can we do to prevent bugs like this from being checked in? 3) Why wasn't the bug found during testing? Was it not covered by any existing test case? Was a test case run but the defect was not recognized? Was the defect introduced into the software after the tests had already been executed? 4) What can we do to ensure that bugs like this are caught during testing? So 2 basic questions -- what went wrong and how can we prevent it in the future, looked at from perspective of programmers and testers. If we can keep these questions in mind, and try to answer them, we may be able to find some patterns that can lead to some process changes for AOO 4.1.

Re: Updating BZ versions for next releases
IMHO the seven digit number (i.e. Rev. 1503704) is preferable for both report and confirmation. Item 5 - target milestones are meant to be broken... On Mon, Aug 5, 2013, at 18:38, Rob Weir wrote: I'd like to update BZ to reflect the next release of AOO. Version are tracked in three different fields: Version, which currently allows the values AOO 4.0.0 and AOO410-dev Target Milestone, which currently allows the values AOO 4.0, AOO 4.1 and AOO PleaseHelp Last Confirmation on, which currently allows the values AOO 3.4.0, AOO 3.4.1, and AOO 4.0.0. I'd like to clean this up a little, as follows: 1) It is reasonable for someone to report a bug using 3.4.0, 3.4.1 or 4.0.0. None of these versions are end of life so they should be allowed for new bug reports. 2) I don't see the purpose of AOO PleaseHelp as a milestone version. Are we overloading meaning in this field? If we really need track issues that need help we should define a keyword for this. So I'm inclined to delete this milestone version number. 3) I'd also like to simplify the versions across the board to be just 3.4.1, 4.0.0, etc., without the AOO prefix. 4) For Last Confirmation On, I'd like to hide values except for 4.0. We should not be confirming bugs without testing on the most recent version. Sure, new bugs can set Version to 3.4.0 or 3.4.1, but confirmation should occur on 4.0. 5) I'll add a new Target Milestone of 4.0.1 and Version of 4.0.1-dev since it is likely that we will have a 4.0.1 release to address some of the defects that have been reported on 4.0.0. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, even if it is just a quick +1. I'll hold off making any of these changes until this time Thursday.

And as always you can't fix them all with a fix number of developers. It simply doesn't work. That means you have to prioritize and that is quite normal. 2. most are crashes - release blocker can be other than crash - i.e. copy chart from Calc into Writer results in chart area without curve. this is a huge bug that doesn't involve a crash exactly and we have defined some criteria for issues, crashes, data loss and security issues have always high priority. Regressions are also very important especially when often used functionality is broken. It is documented in the wiki but I haven't the reference in place yet, have to look for it. 3. with all the respect to Norwegian users, print dialog too wide is a negligible problem not for this specific user group and the fix is already available. 4. there should be a documented evidence to the bug evaluation process, based on approved SOP I am not sure if I understand you here 5. the general public has no declared release date - no need to rush as there is no commitment to fulfill no but the project have committed to a release date and I believe the majority of the community support the new release. You have to set a date and have define what is important for this date. You can always do more and can fix more issues but that won't work very well. 6. minor bugs should also get attention and be targeted definitely but not short in front of a release. And of course nobody prevent anybody from fixing such issues. We have a lot of them, many are probably not longer valid and can be closed, other are not easy to fix and so on. A good start would be of course to simply check older issues if they are still valid or not. 7. the judgment of introducing the sidebar with so many pending bugs should be justified to demonstrate openness as far as I know we haven't pending bugs here. Don't mix this up with improvement or feature requests. Maybe I don't understand you and you can explain it again 8. RTF is rarely used today - no reason for two appearances in the list RTF is as far as I known relevant for Ms interoperability in general and important for other MS filters as well. Even the pure format is not used often the functionality is important. If somebody knows more please correct me. 9. Are there no critical bugs in Math, Draw and Base? probably yes and probably many other critical bugs in other areas that are not detected yet or not proposed as showstopper 10. Are there enough volunteers to treat these release blockers on time? we hope we can fix them all but volunteers are never enough ;-) If you think that other issue should be showstopper as well, please propose them on the dev list and we can discuss them.

My meaning is, respecting current users of OpenOffice who reported bugs and see those bugs not resolved while new features (sidebar) are being introduced. I think they deserve at least an explanation how introducing new features is more important from fixing bugs that bothers them (after all, they took the time to report them). On Fri, Jun 21, 2013, at 10:22, Andre Fischer wrote: 7. the judgment of introducing the sidebar with so many pending bugs should be justified to demonstrate openness I don't understand the second part of the sentence. I have divided the bugs regarding the sidebar into three categories. For each category exists one meta issue: 1. Bugs that have to be fixed for the 4.0 release are covered by issue 121420 (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121420) At the moment there are no open bugs blocking it. 2. Bugs that should be addressed after the 4.0 release are marked as blockers of issue 122364 (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122364) These are bugs that don't have a big impact on the majority of users or would require a tremendous amount of work to fix them. There are six bugs in this category. 3. Requested enhancements form the third category described by issue 122257 (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122257). There are 18 feature requests or enhancements. As said above, only bugs in the first category will be fixed for the 4.0 release. At the moment there are no such open bugs. -Andre - To unsubscribe, e-mail: qa-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: qa-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: Triage for AOO 4.0.0 Release Blockers
Dear Andre This is exactly the problem! When you grab a bug from the top and critical bugs continuously enter the list - The minor bugs at the bottom will never get attention.

When I spend time on fixing bugs then I sometimes wish there where a big list of all open bugs that are sorted according to importance. I would go down the list and grab a bug from the top that lies in the area of my expertise (Impress, UI, Slideshow, Sidebar). Without such a list I have to prioritize bugs by myself. And if I do that then I use my own judgement of which bug is important and which is not.

Re: Triage for AOO 4.0.0 Release Blockers
Yes. please allow to share the following objections: 1. in general, bugs shouldn't be rated 2. most are crashes - release blocker can be other than crash - i.e. copy chart from Calc into Writer results in chart area without curve. this is a huge bug that doesn't involve a crash 3. with all the respect to Norwegian users, print dialog too wide is a negligible problem 4. there should be a documented evidence to the bug evaluation process, based on approved SOP 5. the general public has no declared release date - no need to rush as there is no commitment to fulfill 6. minor bugs should also get attention and be targeted 7. the judgment of introducing the sidebar with so many pending bugs should be justified to demonstrate openness 8. RTF is rarely used today - no reason for two appearances in the list 9. Are there no critical bugs in Math, Draw and Base? 10. Are there enough volunteers to treat these release blockers on time?
