That could well be the problem: Macs ship without Mozilla products pre-installed, and most users won't be setting MOZILLA_CERTIFICATE_FOLDER, so nss could be failing to initialize, causing a failure to open all encrypted ODF documents 😱. Replacing nss was discussed in this thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40openoffice.apache.org/msg14374.html and openssl suggested in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40openoffice.apache.org/msg14373.html > -- > - > MzK > > “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” > --Lao Tzu Damjan

I didn't see any patches attached to issue you reference. Should that approach be taken? Since Seamonkey was pulled out in early 2014, and replaced for the 4.1.0 release with nss, I wonder if some of these problems are due to changes for users that were not documented at all in the 4.1.0 Release Notes. :( See: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Certificate_Detection and, I didn't know we had discussed removing nss, although we did remove Seamonkey. -- - MzK “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” --Lao Tzu
Macs for building / testing AOO?
Hi Do we have any Macs we can use for building and testing AOO? I've made some progress on a commonly reported serious regression on MacOS (#125431), where encrypted ODF files cannot be opened with recent AOO versions (password allegedly incorrect), but need a Mac to build and test AOO on. Can anyone help? Thank you Damjan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

This seems like a very workable schedule to me.

Before your posting, I've no doubts, that Apache will get a booth at FOSDEM, if they ask for it. Especially, if they say, they will come with Apache OpenOffice.
