Great! Please post the URL of the binaries so other people can start 
testing.

Re: Suggestion

Hi Marcus,

One facet of all this has changed. In keeping with perpetual greed MS 
has copied the cash cow concept adopted by adobe - you don't get the 
program you rent it thus insuring they get your money.


I loaded outlook and and because I think they are pushing the online 
stuff suddenly my copy no longer functions how about that?


Thunderbird is pretty barren, and seems to frequently do stuff I don't 
care for examples do not come to mind as this is written  but the $$ 
angle with MS is the dominant item. Customer needs to be milked.


Can't express my loathing for that enough.

Thanks for your comments. Perhaps as MS tightens the wire a new or 
improved client may be in order.


Kind regards,

John Diehl

A fabulous addition to your programs would be a mail client. How I 
would welcome that. One that has an auto correct built in.


OpenOffice had already a mail client (OK; to be more correct, it was 
StarOffice many years ago). It had a news client, Internet browser and 
schedular on board. Even an own desktop was included. However, it 
wasn't successfull. The people have used other programs that were 
better suited for that and the desktop wasn't well understood.


Today there are already good and well-established programs like 
Outlook and Thunderbird - just to name the most popular ones.


Therefore I don't think it would make sense to spend a lot of time to 
invent all of this from scratch just to have an own mail program in 
OpenOffice.


My 2ct.

Marcus

Hi Barb,
I never saw that post... SOrry.
But I have to say that you need to develop a much thicker skin
when you subscribe to ANY Mailing List.
Believe it or not, there billions of humans who would love to
hurt someone. It is the nature of the world. So develop the
good attitude of not responding to such abuse.
Why?
Because that is exactly what the bully wants to see! That s/he was able 
to hurt you.


Kind Regards,

JD

Re: [NOTICE] Mandatory relocation of Apache git repositories on git-wip-us.apache.org

[JD]

Except that GIT is now owned by MS

I seriously DOUBT that MS will support a competitor to it's
office software on their "OWNED" enterprise website.

I think it would be a bad idea!!!

Hello

I know there is http://git.apache.org/openoffice.git/

But I didn't know how it works or it should work.

I hope this is the time for our progejt to switch from svn to git as the
main repository.
We already discussed it several times in the past.

[IF YOUR PROJECT DOES NOT HAVE GIT REPOSITORIES ON GIT-WIP-US PLEASE
  DISREGARD THIS EMAIL; IT WAS MASS-MAILED TO ALL APACHE PROJECTS]

Hello Apache projects,

I am writing to you because you may have git repositories on the
git-wip-us server, which is slated to be decommissioned in the coming
months. All repositories will be moved to the new gitbox service which
includes direct write access on github as well as the standard ASF
commit access via gitbox.apache.org.

## Why this move? ##
The move comes as a result of retiring the git-wip service, as the
hardware it runs on is longing for retirement. In lieu of this, we
have decided to consolidate the two services (git-wip and gitbox), to
ease the management of our repository systems and future-proof the
underlying hardware. The move is fully automated, and ideally, nothing
will change in your workflow other than added features and access to
GitHub.

## Timeframe for relocation ##
Initially, we are asking that projects voluntarily request to move
their repositories to gitbox, hence this email. The voluntary
timeframe is between now and January 9th 2019, during which projects
are free to either move over to gitbox or stay put on git-wip. After
this phase, we will be requiring the remaining projects to move within
one month, after which we will move the remaining projects over.

To have your project moved in this initial phase, you will need:

- Consensus in the project (documented via the mailing list)
- File a JIRA ticket with INFRA to voluntarily move your project repos
   over to gitbox (as stated, this is highly automated and will take
   between a minute and an hour, depending on the size and number of
   your repositories)

To sum up the preliminary timeline;

- December 9th 2018 -> January 9th 2019: Voluntary (coordinated)
   relocation
- January 9th -> February 6th: Mandated (coordinated) relocation
- February 7th: All remaining repositories are mass migrated.

This timeline may change to accommodate various scenarios.

## Using GitHub with ASF repositories ##
When your project has moved, you are free to use either the ASF
repository system (gitbox.apache.org) OR GitHub for your development
and code pushes. To be able to use GitHub, please follow the primer
at: https://reference.apache.org/committer/github


We appreciate your understanding of this issue, and hope that your
project can coordinate voluntarily moving your repositories in a
timely manner.

All settings, such as commit mail targets, issue linking, PR
notification schemes etc will automatically be migrated to gitbox as
well.

With regards, Daniel on behalf of ASF Infra.

PS:For inquiries, please reply to us...@infra.apache.org, not your
project's dev list :-).

Re: New OpenOffice Release 4.1.6 Release Preperations

[JD]

Since there are several rpm files in each release,
do you have a script that will install the rpm files
in the correct order, rather than leaving it to the
user to provide the filenames to dnf, or yum or whatver
installation program is available?

Hello Infra,

we have a new Release ready. Can you prepare the Servers for the new
Update? (On our Release Sheet it mentions you have to do something.)

Please inform us on the time needed, and when ready.


There shouldn't be anything needed on our end, presuming you're using 
the standard process. We have consolidated services a while back, in 
part to not have to worry about things like AOO releases.





Thank you.


All the best
