Hi Damian, That sounds good!
Unfortunately your commit seems to break the build on our buildbot(Win10 64bit/Java 8): https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/buildlogs/win/log/wntmsci12.pro.build.html --- 1 module(s): apache-commons need(s) to be rebuilt Reason(s): ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making /cygdrive/e/slave14/aoo-win7/build/main/apache-commons/java/lang When you have fixed the errors in that module you can resume the build by running: build --from apache-commons --- dmake: Error: -- `../../wntmsci12.pro/misc/4c8c505cc3cba4c467c479e3e0f09ba4-commons-lang3-3.3-src.unpack' not found, and can't be made --- Regards, Matthias Am 20.08.2017 um 21:34 schrieb Damjan Jovanovic: > Hi > > In revision 1805579 I committed a large patch to AOO, that implements a > whole new database connector, for the PostgreSQL database. > > It's the real deal, a new UNO component, 57 files, 9607 lines of code, > about 4 months in the pipeline.
