Re: Set current and next-minor-version, next-major-version aliases in BZ

Is there some way to associate aliases with actual field values in BZ?
  I'm thinking it would be useful to have alias assignments for
Version, such as:

* current alias to be used for  4.1.1 (I see we already have used
current for Version, but I don't know if this is a hard assignment or
what).
* next-minor-version alias to be used for  4.1.2
* next-major-versoin alias to be used for 4.2.0

This would be very useful to track bugs for next releases, etc.


Bugzilla currently doesn't know the concept of version- or milestone 
aliases. It's a good idea though. I suggest to submit it to them [1]. 
Bugzilla already supports name aliases for bug-ids, so extending this to 
other fields makes a lot of sense.

Re: recent BZ changes -- some custom fields missing?

2015-02-20 Thread Herbert Duerr

Hi Kay,


We had an update to our BZ instance about a month ago. In all honesty, I
didn't give the update a thorough review.

Now, I see that our Release Blocker button, and Request Review button
seem to be missing.

Can someone else confirm this? or is it just my situation. Thanks.


I can confirm that this was the case. The migration of these bits must 
have gone wrong:


The release-blocker flags were still there, but none were activated, so 
I re-enabled the 4.1.2-blocker flag.


The request-review flag was also still there but there were no groups 
left that were allowed to request or grant reviews of a patch 
attachment. I'm not sure what the original setting was, but I think 
every registered user could request the review and every member with 
can-confirm rights could grant the review. I reset these bits accordingly.


Thanks for finding and reporting these problems!

For the target field we should use the version on the horizon (i.e. 4.1.2)

Great.  It looks like you (or someone else) added these value, yes?


Yes, I've added them to the active categories (products). Too bad that

time I checked the REST API these things weren't supported there yet.


When I was done doing that in parallel to my regular work it was already 
so late that I didn't have time to write a done mail before going AFK.



I've also added a 4.1.2 Release Blocker flag, so we're set with that also.

After a new Nightly is successfully compiled the Snapshots page needs to be

Hope this is easy to fix.


The page and its links are recreated regularly, but until it is 
recreated there is a short period when the links are not yet up to date. 
This explains why the links are good now.


AFAIK the ci.apache.org system has no easy way to directly trigger the

Currently there is no nightly available for Windows because compiling

If everything works as expected then old install sets will be kept 
directly in place if new ones are not available.



Alternatively the name of the installer could be improved to
Apache_OpenOffice_4.2.0_Win_x86_install_en-US_1600883.exe
(i.e. with the revision number appended)
and this would solve the problem of overwriting previous builds as well as
allowing the tester to keep track of which installer is which...


A great idea but I'm afraid I can't help with this. Volunteers are invited.

Rereading Pedro's request I saw that we already do this, e.g. our latest 
successful win-nightly build produced [1] three files with such names.


[1] 
http://ci.apache.org/builders/aoo-win7/builds/50/steps/mv%20install%20bits%20to%20web/logs/stdio



This would also require an automatic cleanup routine, otherwise we fill the
disks within a week.

I see it as a very dangerous idea.


No worries. Currently we keep only one revision, but even if we kept 
more of them the cleanup step could be quite simple, e.g. by adding a 
line using find X -ctime N -delete to a buildbot step could easily 
accomplish this.

Re: Tracking bugs like Issue 124985 - [Meta] Meta Bug for collecting bugs which appeal for AOO 4.1.x

Hi Rainer,

On 26.05.2014 20:13, Rainer Bielefeld wrote:

It's an essential that information should be consistent at any place for

P2 !. . . 1  !   1
P3 !. 4 5 .  !   9

Tot!1 4 5 1  !  11


Regressions are also an important consideration.


So my question is why Issue 114361 with severity trivial has been
considered by godlike decision (there is no reasoning, neither in Issue
124985 nor in Issue 114361) so serious that it has been added added to
the meta bug? With some minimum carefulness the severity would have been
rised to major or more, the dataloss keyword would have been added, so
that the decision will be comprehensible. I did that now in Issue 114361


A higher severity was very much warranted for this data loss. Data loss 
sounds a bit like an abstract concept but in this case it was I had a 
perfectly fine presentation, saved it and some pics are gone!!!.


So the meta-issue helped to identify that this important issue was not 
properly flagged and would have been overlooked if we had only used the 
query as suggested. +1 for the meta-issue then.



Common known characteristics of unresolved Issue 124985 blocking Bug
reports you find in Report [1] (More than 3400). So the question is why
have 11 been picked as blocker for the meta issue, but more of 3400 not
[2]?


For the references [1], [2] or [3] in your mail I cannot find their 
actual links, but I think I know what you mean. As said the meta-issue 
is only intended as a publicly visible reminder and best-effort overview 
what should eventually get into an eventual bugfix release if we decide 
whether we'll need one. The meta-issue helps with this discussion. +1 
for the meta-issue.


Whether they really should get into an eventual bugfix release would be 
decided later by requesting the blocker flag.


I'd say good criteria for such issues are:
- regressions
- crashes
- data losses
* risk of new regressions

So even if a bug is only minor; if it is a regression, a fix is 
available and low risk it should get into a bugfix release. Such a bug 
would not be caught by a query for major issues, but IMHO they are great 
candidates anyway.


Should we decide that our bugfix releases must only contain fixes for 
bugs with major severity then this is fine as well. The bugs below this 
level would be removed from nomination. I'd advise against ignoring such 
fixes though.



With some minimum corrections for the criteria of possible Meta bug
blockers I can reduce the number by 90% [3]
[...]
Such systematic working is the only way for real progress.


This systematic work is very important indeed and I appreciate and have 
the deepest respect for our QA volunteer who work on it.



If after some work we have valid data in the bug reports Meta Bugs
indeed can be useful to show up dependencies and relations what are not
simply visible in the bug reports.

For anything else queries like
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamedlist_id=149854namedcmd=Potential411Blockers
(shared with registered users) are much more powerful, especially in
projects with bigger community than AOO and much bug tracker activity
(20 reports per day, not only 2).


I'm logged in and have all the rights needed but I can't see that query. 
On the other hand the meta-issue is visible to everyone without any 
trouble...

my experience is that such tracking bugs are not useful. The time

I disagree that they are useless. As long as we're not sure if or when 
we should do a 4.1.1 and what changes could get into it such a 
meta-issue gives an easy overview of the candidates and their status:


https://issues.apache.org/ooo/showdependencytree.cgi?id=124985hide_resolved=0

If we decide to make a bugfix release then the appropriate milestone 
target and its release-blocker flag will be created. Once the issue 
candidates have been reviewed and their bug fields (target and blocker) 
have been adjusted only then the meta-bug becomes irrelevant. But up to 
that point it is a good tracking mechanism with global visibility, clear 
accountability of who suggested what and direct links to the candidate 
issues.



I recommend not to create tracking bugs what can be replaced easily by
queries and if there is no evidence that they are necessary for the bug
fixing process.

Forwarding to the QA mailing list.

 Original Message 
Subject: [Bug 124386] Improve Help for Version Selector
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 12:05:31 +0100
From: Herbert Duerr h...@apache.org
Reply-To: d...@openoffice.apache.org
To: d...@openoffice.apache.org d...@openoffice.apache.org

Members of our QA team requested a clarification of the Version field
used in our bugzilla instance. There are other terms that could need
some clarification too.

So before I request ASF-Infra to change our bugzilla installation by
using the patch [1], I'd like to ask for lazy consensus to request this
change in our bugzilla installation.

[1] https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=82837action=diff

In particular the help text for version should be changed from
  The version field defines the version of the software the bug was
found in.
to
  The oldest version of the software the bug can be found in.,

Also the help text for assigned to should be changed from
  The person in charge of resolving the ${terms.bug}.
to
  The person in charge of progressing the ${terms.bug}.
because we sometimes need more info, specific testing, etc. from others.

The help text for operating system should be changed from
  The operating system the $terms.bug was observed on.
to
  The operating systems the $terms.bug can be observed on.
because AOO problems are often impacting multiple platforms.

Since many entries in our bugzilla database are not about bugs, but
about new features or enhancements I'd also like to use the term issue
instead of bug, when Bugzilla refers to such an entry.

Re: Need QA (test) volunteers on MacOS Mavericks

2013-11-06 Thread Herbert Duerr

Hi Yu Zhen,
Hi Edoardo,
Hi Anethasundas,


Edoardo is asking if we must do new Mac tests using 4.0.1 as there are no
OS X version at
http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/.http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/
I think we can use 4.0.1 for overall quality assessment on Maverick MacOS
before 4.1 is available, how do you think?


Yes, we often get questions about the compatibility of AOO with the 
latest OSX 10.9 and these questions are about AOO401, that was released 
three weeks before OSX 10.9. So it would be good if we had a qualified 
answer for that.


Testing the trunk version of AOO on MacOSX will become an interesting 
topic after my branch rejuvenate has been integrated. We'll provide 
regular snapshots for OSX then.

Hi,

I can confirm that problem. I am not familiar with with cwiki, but I
added myself to Directory of volunteers, where I currently also can't
find a way how to edit that page.

It seems currently cwiki only can be edited by very few persons?


I cannot edit pages in the cwiki either. I was able to do it last week, 
but this week I can't, because the edit-page option is missing. Is this 
lock-out a collateral damage of the release notes being protected?

The web page says: No edit restrictions are defined for this page.
This is under Tools/Restrictions menu item.  Do you see something
differenent?


I'm logged in and that Restrictions page says that:
No view restrictions are defined for this page
No edit restrictions are defined for this page

But the Edit link that used to be on the page (left to the Share 
link) is missing. That edit link is still visible on a page that I 
haven't refreshed since last week. I'm sure it will be gone there too if 
I reload the page. Also the Add link, which used to be between the 
Share and the Tools link is missing.



I was able to edit it (of course).  It looks like Andrea was as well.


Do you happen to have the admin role in our CWikis?

Re: [RELEASE]: propose a further RC3 for AOO 4.0.1

Hi Yuzhen,

For RC3, could you please share a little bit more on the impact to the
functions of the AOO, from testing perspective? QE have been doing RC build
acceptance test on RC1 and RC2 from last week, we'd like to know then
evaluate what level test we need to consider for RC3. Thanks!


Thanks for asking. I created the detailed list of changes and issues 
fixed by RC3: http://people.apache.org/~hdu/izlist_aoo401_rc2_vs_rc3.htm


In short the relevant changes were fixes for the AOO's SDK on Windows, 
which is only developer-testable and it doesn't impact end users. 
Another important update in the respin was that the just finished 
Turkish translation was integrated for RC3, even though it was way past 
the original l10n deadline.


So from an end-user perspective RC2 and RC3 are identical except that 
now there is a Turkish localization. All testing results can be reused.

Re: Call for verification on resolved show stopper issues for AOO 4.0

I'm not really sure what is needed because I see no field or flag to
indicate that the fix was verified. Add a comment is enough?


Change the Status: from RESOLVED to VERIFIED and add the comment. 
If the way it was verified was non-obvious from the issue itself then 
please add some details on how it was verified, e.g. on which platforms 
it was tested.
