Hi Kay,

But, even after I have read the mails, I am not sure how to work
with this respectively to avoid build breakers in practical life.
E.g. I just set my latest CWS to "Ready for QA", despite the MacOSX
being red. I had somewhat a of clue what went wrong, but was not
really able to fix it, as I had no machine at hand. So, my question
is, what is the suggested approach to address such issues? I
currently see three options:
-a- ignore it, does not seem to be choice
-b- find somebody e.g. with a Mac and ask him/her to look at the
problem
-c- write an issue for the Mac port owner
As Mac OS X owner, I just want to say :
- native port ( without X11) currently in development is our
priority, and eats a lot of our resources. People willing to fix X11
issues are welcome.
- Mac OS X specific issues are regularly reassigned to me and I don't
have not the time, nor the knowledge to fix everything :
Again, help is welcome : I'm only volunteer ...
IMHO, none of these options are suitable for practical life.
Indeed.
The only real solution (which needs to scale well) I scan see is,
to provide access e.g. to Macs, to allow a developer to fix the
issue him-/herself.
Yes, good idea !
And if not possible or as complementary solution, I'd suggest we find
a way to buy/provide a machine to Hamburg RE : have good tool is the
prerequisite to good work.
For example, a laptop would be the best IMHO : this machine could
be shared between the best people to fix issues, when a specialist is
needed.
Currently Mac OS X port is only Community : what about consider it as
a major port ?
15 millions of potential users -probably more -*is* a major port ,
no ? (modulo all positive effects for OpenOffice.org project)
By the way, it would be nice, to offer a buttom to retrigger
tinderbox builds, and certainly a buildbot would be nice as well.
For the bots, more time goes, more we have, and I'll -try to - add
one of my personnal machines in the list this week end.
And, as the tinderbox stuff seems to be important,
Yes it is, for all builds.
I would have at least expected a discussion on [email protected],
as this affects all OOo developers ...
