Hi, I would like to give a short update regarding the RAT scans and the problems with our build bots.
The build bots didn't worked reliable in the past but we are working on it. The RAT scans on the build bots signaled potential problems that we have analyzed. The good news we are save here and let me explain why. After figuring out that the nice RAT tool worked only on Linux reliable, I was able to run a successful RAT scan on the src release. You can find it under http://people.apache.org/~jsc/aoo-3.4.1_rat/aoo-3.4.1_rat-output.html The scan initially found 3 files that I will explain now: Unapproved Licenses: aoo-3.4.1/main/desktop/source/app/desktop.hrc.rej aoo-3.4.1/main/desktop/source/app/desktop.src.rej aoo-3.4.1/main/solenv/bin/download_external_dependencies.pl The 2 *.rej files were packed by mistake because I forgot to delete them. They are not part of the svn repo but were produced by svn. They don't have influence on the build or the resulting binaries download_external_dependencies.pl This file was introduced new to solve the download issues of external packages and an appropriate header is missing. The file was created by Andre and is of course under ALv2. Already fixed on trunk! Regarding the 2 *.rej files I have packaged the src files again, signed and upload them to clean up the RAT scan to include the *.pl file only. Important to know that it was a simple replacking on the same revison -> NO NEW REVISION -> NO NEW BUILD of the binaries is necessary. The RAT scan is updated and includes now only the download_external_dependencies.pl I hope you agree that this is ok and that we don't have to rebuild the binaries. How to run the RAT scan on your own. 1. download http://people.apache.org/~jsc/aoo-3.4.1_rat/openofficeorg.xml http://people.apache.org/~jsc/aoo-3.4.1_rat/rat-output.xsl and the RAT tool from http://creadur.apache.org/rat/download_rat.cgi Furthermore you need a saxon xslt processor. It will be built during the normal build of the office and you can find it main/saxon/<outputdir>. But you can of course download it on your own. 1. adapt the paths in openofficeorg.xml to the aoo source and the RAT tool. And potentially the path to the out put file. 2. run the RAT scan ant -f openofficeorg.xml 3. convert the rat-output.xml to html java -jar saxon9.jar -t -s:./rat-output.xml -xsl:./rat-output.xsl -o:./aoo-3.4.1_rat-output.html For the future we will ensure that our build bots work correct and that the RAT output remains clean. The VOTE continues as planned! Thanks Juergen
