Overall I saw it as a better move to have those issues taken care of and gain whatever advances that was made between 2.2.9 and 1.8.x. As fir the cws hsqldb19 branch, i did check through it and the patches from there are currently being used. Beside that I didn't see any relevant changes, for example the check for 1.8.x in the configure script. I ran into that while working on another issue. One thing I am looking into at the moment is recovery in Base, that are code that is checking for the version of hsql but I have not been able to locate it.

Unfortunately, in my case, only about a third of the libraries I have installed conform to pkg-config, i.e. have the proper .pc meta files. So, my local jpeg library, for example, was not found. I could have had a VERY exasperating time putting in all the specs for the libraries not found. So those that weren't were pulled from extras, etc. but I'm wondering if there's something we could use to replace the pkg-config calls. Any ideas? We could use whereis to find them I guess, but I don't know if this is sufficient.

For a build where I don't modify the jar, I'd prefer to just fetch it b/c it's way faster. Also, where does compiling from source end.

I don't know what motivated these rules, but I guess it was something in the lines of having control about what is being compiled and how it is being compiled (the use of the compiler, the Java base line, etc.). 35 million of downloads are worth not relaying on a jar built by someone else and, instead, build it from sources. I am used to retrieving compiled jars on the projects I worked on, in Java there is maven and ivy to retrieve specific version of the jar that the project is tested on along with the dependencies. But it is still trusting in a binary built by someone else. Every project is free to trust or build from sources. Historically, OpenOffice builds from external sources and includes these binaries in its releases, it has no external dependencies (other than the system libraries). The configure switches that allow building with system libraries/jars are only supported on *nix, and even there they are not relaying on a jar built by someone else: Linux distributions, for example, build all their jars; why do they build all by themselves instead of fetching compiled jars? I've no idea, but I guess they follow the same criteria mentioned above (as a Linux user you can use Maven in your projects, but it won't modify the system's jars). Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina Thank you for the explanation. For now I will stick to the current setup and make couple more changes but I would like my idea to be consider in the future. It is true for most long running system that some of the why certain decisions were made is lost and I am quite sure there were/are legitimate reasons. It would just helpful to know instead of doing the same thing just because. As far as trust, that is interesting in this context since I would be fetching from the source and given that the project is using the third party code in such a integral way that I would think the trust is implicit.

Definitely. In a linux distribution or a project such as ours with so many external dependencies there are good reasons not to always use the latest version of each component: That could easily result in endless churn and prevent releases. So backporting fixes is an alternative that should is often preferable. I don't know the background of the issues mentioned above that were fixed for HSQLDB but maybe they were such backports of fixes?

Better use the mechanism provided by main/external_deps.lst Herbert It is partially to address the JDK issue but there have been improvements in HSQLDB for both performance and conformance that would be helpful which is why I lean more towards updating to the latest rather than patching the existing. I understand it would be difficult to constantly update to the latest release of a dependent project both in a quality and release standpoint. With adequate planning and testing, the code should also allow for an update to the latest without too many gotchas.

Re: Help with building from source
Thank you, that fixed the problem. In general, when testing changes what is the best practice for this project? Should I clean, update and do a complete build? Now that I have a successful build I am going to look into updating some of the Java components, is there some guidelines in updating versions of an external project? Is it required to grab the source and build the jar within the build process or would be better to grab the jar? Just don't want to go down the wrong path. Any suggestion would be most appreciated.

I know nothing about these modules except what I just saw while peeking at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/hsqldb/patches/ The patch files there seem to fix some general bugs seen in OpenOffice that may or may not have been fixed by upstream hsqldb. Investigating this, updating to a newer release of hsqldb and testing it might be a worthwhile task. Are you interested? For reference the bugs fixed by the patches mentioned above where: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=96823 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=103528 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=104901 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=97032 Herbert
Re: Error while trying to build from svn checkout
Herbert, Thanks, I did give that a try and it still didn't work properly. I decided to remove the existing copy and do a clean checkout. I am running into a different issue. checking if hash_map will be in __gnu_cxx namespace... configure: error: Can't find hash_map. Try with --with-stlport I get the above when running configure. This is on revision 1439200. At some point in the past I did build successfully, I still have that copy running on my machine. Any ideas?

I suggest to go into the main directory and do a dmake clean there to clean all the older build artificats. Then start anew with autoconf, configure, bootstrap, etc. Hope that helps, Herbert
Hi
My name is Michael Lam, I am a software engineer and I would like to volunteer. I mostly program in Java but also know python and would like to brush up on my C/C++. I have been on this mailing list for awhile and also have an account on bugzilla. I don't have a particular module in mind and would like to know where is the best place to start. Do I just pick something bugzilla? I am up for suggestion and guidance.
