* New committers:
+ Jean-Pierre Ledure - great Access2Base work.
AI: + send welcome mail (Lionel)
+ Jan-Marek Glogowski (jmux) - at last a KDE maintainer
AI: + send welcome mail (Michael)
* Access2Base / namespace issues
+ once it is imported it is there permanently ...
+ browsing in basic code manager imports it
+ lets see how it goes.
* FOSDEM Usability hack-fest:
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/FOSDEM2014#Participants
+ register now - only i
* Crashtest update (Markus)
+ cf. http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/
* Certification progress (Kendy/Bjoern/Stephan)
+ waiting for replies from nominated candidates 1/4 so far.
* Base issue 70703 (Lionel)
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/70703
+ fixed by heroic patch from Caolan - vile re-enterancy issue.
* Basic API changes (Michael S)
+ concerns in the community about
"stardiv.Toolkit.UnoDateFieldControls" who has until 4.0 a
"date" property who is a ISO representation of the datevalue.
+ some types of properties changed.
+ need for ulgy version checks in the code & cost of
testing / qualification of that etc.
+ not all people have these skills.
+ really important not to break the Basic API & need to consider
more if any given change on Basic programmers.
+ C++/Java developers - often more able to cope, and/or it's
a hopeless ABI situation.
+ Basic programmers should be treated better.
+ need to work harded to keep Basic compatible.
+ eg. adding methods to interfaces keeps Basic happy.
+ sadly this would have been easy to do differently, but hard to fix now
(Lionel)
+ lots of complaints about dates, most of the problems around times
+ having a 2nd time property with a new name, might make read/write of
the old value change the stored value; something of a balance.
+ if we had had feedback / testing around 'Date' / earlier interaction
we could have easily improved that (Michael)
+ Concern that we get expertise & regression tests and/or suites of sample
StarBasic files / code that we can analyse.
+ who has that ? with that we can avoid breaking things.
+ not always obvious that a particular API is actually used (Michael S)
+ or is it just an internally used function ?
** + want a volunteer to help collect complex StarBasic
+ Xray runs a ton of stuff before hitting the 1st dialog (Miklos)
+ A cleaner way than version-checking is to use reflection to ask what
type the method returns (Lionel)
+ in this particular case.
* automated code re-formatting / de-crustification (Kendy)
+ Previous consensus was to decide not to decide ...
+ is the time - now ? (before we branch)
+ are we agreed on what to do ?
+ ~anything better than nothing.
+ why do we need this?
+ should we de-crustify the -4-0 & -4-1 branches too ?
+ also: how do we _keep_ the code uncrusty:
+ git hook?
+ regular reruns
+ once a week?
+ just before major branchoff?
* Next large-scale cleanups (Kendy)
+ .ui conversion surely (?)
+ Tackle >>= replacement ?
+ any.getAsIntegerWithDefaultValueForGoodMeasureNamesMustBeVeryLong(3);
* QA update (Robinson)
+ down a good number of bugs this week, hoping to continue it
+ some are test bugs, but thanks to more people working in preparation for
4.2 !
+ lots of gerrit pushing & associated closing.
+ weekly 'need_advice' bug ping for help:
+ "FORMATTING text:use-soft-page-breaks not honoured"
+ https://bugs.libreoffice.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43692
AI: + take a look (Miklos)
+ Inconsistent behavior of table.Borderline in Writer and Calc
+ https://bugs.libreoffice.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45644
+ punted to needinfo, calc cells are a hot potato: pass it on.
+ Currently have 9 blockers
+ noticed a lot of these; five vs. 4.2
+ blockers don't really exist in LibreOffice -> 'MAB' concept instead.
+ Accessibility concerns from QA re:lack of consistent keyboard movement
through the various UI widget based panels
+ e.g. Start Center and Sidebar
+ more extensive notes around; be good to address them.
+ concerns wrt. reduced mobility
+ good to get bugs logged vs. that
+ start-center / template mgmt / sidebar - not great a11y
AI: + file individual bugs to get to Easy Hack (Robinson)
+ would be good to have some docs on how to use the poke
tools for 'ordinary developers' to test / develop on Linux (Caolan)
AI: + get some doc pointers on how to use Accerciser, and how to
test / improve this (Jacobo)
+ Bugzilla Migration:
+ going really well, lots of URL changes.
+ Thanks to everyone who has been helping prepare
+ QA brainstormed abbreviations in place of fdo#
+ blo#1234, lob, tdf, libo Thoughts ?
+ 'bz' suffix ?
+ lbz# ? (Thosten)
+ lo# (Bjoern)
+ or assume we're -the- tracker => no prefix (Thorsten)
+ never works.
+ the guys doing the work should choose.
+ Fixing MIMEtype on attachments
+ talked to bugzilla developers, should be easy to automate
fixing mimetypes; but Q' is - developers hard-hit by E-mails.
+ should we do it all in 1 lump, or slowly.
+ We can use a special account 'MIMEtype Fixer' so anyone who wishes can
filter-out those emails
+ can we turn off notifications, do it, and turn it on again (Caolan)
+ off for 30mins ... no-one truly cares wrt. mime-type
+ admins currently spending time
* KDevelop awesomeness:
AI: + Make a video about the KDevelop awesomeness (Bjoern)
