Openoffice 3.3 service fails with file not found exception
Hi OpenOffice Guru's, We have tried to open file using open office but all the time it fails saying the file .39832938.doc does not exist but we could see all the files getting created at the specifed temp location. We came to know that there is some issue with Openoffice with NFS systems on file locking. We tried to disable below lines in soffice but that did not help and also tried to mount the file system using nolock option that also did not work, though only once we were able to open the file rest were failing. Can someone please let us know incase there is any solution to this issue OF FILE NOT FOUND EXCEPTION. Details about our setup are below: -- 1. We have 2 machines 1 for application server and in other one OpenOffice service running. 2. We have the same NFS mounted drives in both machines which hosts the files of our application and file structure(/usr/nfs/Myapp folder is mounted(NFS) on both machines) with below options nfs rw,remount,noatime,nodeiratime,nolock,hard,bg,intr,timeo=120,noacl,acregmin=8,acregmax=300,acdirmin=8,acdirmax=300,addr=11.01.2.12 0 0 3. We are using RHEL 5.x OS on both servers. 4. We open the file via java code of application and it works for all other types of mounted drives but not in NFS mounted drives and we get FileNotFoundException error in log while trying to access the temp file in temp folder, though the file is getting created and exists there. 5. /usr/nfs/Myapp/system/temp is the folder where all the temporary files gets created for processing. 6. Yes, its a microsoft word file which gets created via our code and openoffice service. (For Example: .39832938.doc ) 7. We heard that openoffice is having some locking stuff on NFS drives so I tried to edit the soffice file and tried below settings but for 1st time miraculously i was able to generate once but after that the word doc generation failed with FileNotFoundExceptions though I could see new temp files getting created in temp folder for each export as word requests. I tried to restart the Openoffice service many times and checked but had no luck. We tried the following options in soffice file: a. SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=0 export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING b. STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED=1 export STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED #SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 #export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING c. STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED=1 export STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED #SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 #export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING unset SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING 8. Below is the command we use to start openoffice service and it works everywhere without any issues except here in NFS mounted drives. ./soffice -headless -accept=socket,host=0,port=8000;urp -nofirststartwizard 9. OpenOffice is installed as a non-root user and the same non-root user is used to run the application server JVM and openoffice service. -- Thanks Regards, Ramakanta Sahoo

How to write issue numbers in commit messages?
In the last weeks I've seen different styles of how to write an issue number in the commit messages: #i123456# #123456# i123456 123456 Does it still matter how it is written? Or is it always recognized correctly? I know Herbert (hdu) has built a nice script to collect all fixes, to see what was done in detail in a specific release. Maybe someone can enlighten me here.

Or is it always recognized correctly? The first two options do both work and it is a matter of taste. For example, two commits mention https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124443 and you will see mine (using #i124443) and Juergen's (using #124443#) both automatically picked up by the scripts and added to the issue comments. I'm not sure that the other two options work, but I tend to prefer these ones (and I use the first one since we might want to reference other bug trackers in future, but at the moment the i is redundant).

Pre-release IRC+video informal meeting?
I proposed this in another thread a couple weeks ago, but I didn't follow up. Is there interest for a live (meaning: IRC + video, like Google Hangouts or similar) meeting to make sure that we (developers, QA, Localization, Documentation, website...) are all on the same page regarding the upcoming 4.1 release? Our conversations are scattered across many places and it would be great to have an occasion to bring together, in a totally informal way, active volunteers from all areas. It wouldn't be a meeting where things are decided (we have the lists for that!), but merely a meeting where people can inform each other to make sure that all priorities are being addressed: interesting bug reports that need verification, bugs that might qualify as stoppers but that need a developer to take a look, improvements to the release notes to better describe new features, localization of release notes, changes to be done to the localized websites to serve the new release... As for date/time, for sure one or two developers should attend for the meeting to make sense, so I would leave to them total freedom in picking the right date/time.
