Re: OpenOffice development with Eclipse

2014-12-30 Thread Oliver Brinzing

Hi,


About a week or so ago I tried again to import the OpenOffice source
code into Eclipse.  The last time I tried that, a few years ago, this
did not work at all.  Our source code was just to big and too complex.
This time however, it worked out of the box.  If you do it right :-) The
developers of the CDT (the C/C++ Development Tooling) have made great
progress in the last years.


I tried last week after building my first aoo4.1.1 on win7/64bit, but failed
c++ indexer will stop suddenly, even increasing memory to -Xmx2048m
did not help ... i am using eclipse-jee-luna-SR1-win32

btw: Have you seen: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/StandaloneDebugger
seems to work only for Linux?

Regards
Oliver

We have also french and german flyers, but no dutch (and no italian or

We have Apache feather stickers, OpenOffice.org lanyards and pins (retro

 Definitely. I'm now being the contact person since we don't have
 appointed a release manager yet. In the end, for sure I will not be
 producing Windows builds and it makes sense that people who produce the
 builds have access to the system.

  B) It is unacceptable to call something 4.1.2 and release it on Windows
 only

 ... But I have say
 AOO has a different way of using x.y.z than other projects. The x.y.2
 signals a patch, and that is normally only done for the platforms who
 have
 the problem.


 Historically we never released for one platform only. If we do it for
 4.1.2 there will be people who erroneously believe we have dropped Mac or
 Linux; this is my concern more than the use of numbering.

 And I agree that i a valid concern especially considering our current
 status.



  If I follow your unacceptable then I hope we will never have a serious
 security issue on a single  platform, since we would have to have to wait
 for a release on all platforms, that would in my opinion be unacceptable.


 If the needs arises, I'm sure this can be discussed. But this is not the
 case now. And historically, again, indeed security updates were included in
 the normal release cycle. But as far as I know we were never in the
 position to have to get a release out within 24 hours due to security
 issues. So I would keep this discussion for when it happens.

  C) It is unacceptable to call something 4.1.2 if it is 100% identical to
 4.1.1 on Linux and Mac.

 Hmmm so if we have a security issue...


 I'm speaking for 4.1.2, I'm not speaking in general.

  1) Put online new 4.1.1 Windows binaries

 This should really be a no-go. If we do that the checksums will change


 Not necessarily, it all depends on how we restructure the web pages and
 the files tree on SourceForge. But nobody preferred this option across all
 discussions we had so far, so option 2 deserves more attention.

 ok.


  2) Create a 4.1.2 with minor updates and bugfixes, cherry-picking some
 trunk updates. ...

 We cannot cherry-pick trunk updates, that would make it a 4.2 !!!
 Patches are meant to be critical fixes, and not random bug-fixes.


 Probably we agree, we simply use different wording. For 4.1.2, the
 reference would be the 4.1.0 - 4.1.1 changes. See
 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/
 AOO+4.1.1+Release+Notes and http://s.apache.org/AOO411-solved from
 there: we included bugfixes that did not have impact on UI, that did not
 introduce new features, that updated translations (this would be out in
 4.1.2 as I explained) or dictionaries, or that allowed building/running
 more smoothly in certain environments. What they all had in common was to
 be low-risk and reviewed. Not all of them were really critical. I would
 do the same for 4.1.2, maybe fixing even just a handful of annoying bugs.

 I have no r

 problem with your definition.



  I like option 2, but I am strongly against cherry picking updates on
 trunk.
 If we have serious bugs then they can be included. I do however not
 believe
 we have such bugs, otherwise we would have discussed 4.1.2 long time ago.
 I am open for option 2 as you describe it, if its called 4.2


 All we need to agree upon is what we mean by serious. This is not hard.
 I think we can agree that 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 will be like 4.1.0 to 4.1.1,
 except that we put the threshold for inclusion higher, so we include fewer
 fixes (nowhere near the 89 fixes we had in 4.1.1).

 +1

 lets get moving.I dont think we need a vote to make 4.1.2, we need a
 branch/tag in svn, include the bugs you have marked, a test build, and then
 we can vote on the source. Or close one eye, and make final signed release
 just in english, have the vote, and then make the other languages.

I believe we made progress on everything that is under our control. 
Maybe it's good that I repeat the information here so that we can track

Open issues were:
1) Decide on making 4.1.1.1, 4.1.2, whatever. This is solved, we are 
going to make a new release and call it 4.1.2.
2) Fix access to certificate for signing. Still waiting for Infra, but I 
can't blame them.
3) Decide what to include. I opened a dedicated discussion yesterday, 
with an explicit list of about 20 bugs to consider.
4) Add 4.1.2 to Bugzilla. We need a Bugzilla admin to do it, asked 
yesterday.


As for the source code, we don't even need a new branch (even though I

I have lost all my Word 2013 documents

2014-12-30 Thread Moira Dempsey
Hi

I have no idea who to contact - and I am so upset

Someone sent me open office documents - so I downloaded open office as
there was a connecting chart I could not open

As open office made itself the default program that I did not want I
uninstalled it - and much to my chagrin I now have lost access to all my
2013 docx documents. Including to all my course manual masters.

To say that I am upset is an understatement.

While I have everything backed up to  a cloud account I am now doing to
have to spend days finding and downloading documents, as well as spending
days recreating the manual I was working on

As I am not at home at the moment I do not have access to the repair
information for my microsoft programs

Why do you set yourself as the automatic default program - I did not see
any box for that???

To say that I am not impressed with open office is an understatement

Do you have a solution to the problem

RE: I have lost all my Word 2013 documents

2014-12-30 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
There is good news: Your documents were not removed.

It is just that there is no default program setting as the result of the 
installation and removal of Open Office as the default.  (Apache OpenOffice 
does not automatically make itself the default for Microsoft Office Documents 
unless Microsoft Office is not installed, so I am not clear what happened.)

A. You can re-establish Microsoft Word (and Excel,etc.) this way:

 1. Find a .docx document anywhere on your computer (probably in your Documents 
folder, or look in Recent Documents).  

 2. Right click on the .docx where you see it listed.

 3. Select the Open with ... option in the pop-down menu that appears.

 4. Find Microsoft Word in that list.  Make sure the make this the default is 
checked (that is usually automatic).

 5. It should all work after that.  Do the same for Excel (.xslx) and 
PowerPoint (.pptx).  Also for the older formats, (.doc, .xls, and .ppt).

B. If you open Microsoft Office Word 2013, it should also show you your recent 
document usage and when you open when and it might announce that it is not the 
default and do you want to change that?  I have not had your problem so I am 
not certain how and when that appears.  Procedure (A) definitely works.

C. Do you recall where you obtained Open Office and what version it was?  If 
you used Apache OpenOffice, the download should have been from 
httP://www.openoffice.org and the version would have been 4.1.0 or 4.1.1 (for 
the latest).

I had actually attempted the fixes suggested. What I did on the end was to
repair Word2013. I lost all the pictures and information in text boxes
though

Fortunately there had been an automatic update to my cloud account and I
have been able to download that and not lost oo much

 There is good news: Your documents were not removed.

 It is just that there is no default program setting as the result of the
 installation and removal of Open Office as the default.  (Apache OpenOffice
 does not automatically make itself the default for Microsoft Office
 Documents unless Microsoft Office is not installed, so I am not clear what
 happened.)

 A. You can re-establish Microsoft Word (and Excel,etc.) this way:

  1. Find a .docx document anywhere on your computer (probably in your
 Documents folder, or look in Recent Documents).

  2. Right click on the .docx where you see it listed.

  3. Select the Open with ... option in the pop-down menu that appears.

  4. Find Microsoft Word in that list.  Make sure the make this the
 default is checked (that is usually automatic).

  5. It should all work after that.  Do the same for Excel (.xslx) and
 PowerPoint (.pptx).  Also for the older formats, (.doc, .xls, and .ppt).

 B. If you open Microsoft Office Word 2013, it should also show you your
 recent document usage and when you open when and it might announce that it
 is not the default and do you want to change that?  I have not had your
 problem so I am not certain how and when that appears.  Procedure (A)
 definitely works.

 C. Do you recall where you obtained Open Office and what version it was?
 If you used Apache OpenOffice, the download should have been from
 httP://www.openoffice.org and the version would have been 4.1.0 or 4.1.1
 (for the latest).

 Subject: I have lost all my Word 2013 documents

 Hi

 I have no idea who to contact - and I am so upset

 Someone sent me open office documents - so I downloaded open office as
 there was a connecting chart I could not open

 As open office made itself the default program that I did not want I
 uninstalled it - and much to my chagrin I now have lost access to all my
 2013 docx documents. Including to all my course manual masters.

 To say that I am upset is an understatement.

 While I have everything backed up to  a cloud account I am now doing to
 have to spend days finding and downloading documents, as well as spending
 days recreating the manual I was working on

 As I am not at home at the moment I do not have access to the repair
 information for my microsoft programs

 Why do you set yourself as the automatic default program - I did not see
 any box for that???

 To say that I am not impressed with open office is an understatement

 Do you have a solution to the problem

 Moira Dempsey

Should it not have been sent to annou...@apache.org ? (at least as well to

I think Sally sent out to annou...@apache.org some time ago. At least I
received  this from that list. The one I sent yesterday was specifically
for OpenOffice .

I might have missed it, but I have only seen 15years announcements for ASF
as a whole on announce@

We should also tell the world that our project is also 15years.
