The difference in objectives is very important. Yes, but given the mass of code we have, the only way I see to really highlight bugs, is to remove as much as all warnings. I consider myself a very experienced developer and to boot I have worked through a huge amount of warnings removal in several programs. I have been caught before between the subtle difference between warning removal and removing warnings for the purpose of highlighting bugs. Experience is not the issue, mundane means that even experienced programmers will hide the bug by correcting the warning. The goal of the task is to highlight bugs by removing obvious warnings then taking your time to eliminate the rest. Do this too fast and your fingers and quick solutions will take over.

This is a real useful warning that can find some really nasty errors, so we should definitely work on keeping it activated, but of course if there are so much places that trigger the warning it could be a good idea to postpone it to a later CWS. Yes, In my experience this warning leads to a lot of changes. Doing this initialy will make the whole process really tedious, (as opposed to simply tedious).

Re: [dev] Thoughts on CVS?
On Mon, 2005-04-25 at 15:31 -0400, Daniel Carrera wrote: Hi all, This is just one of those Daniel is curious questions :-) What are your thoughts on CVS? Most OOo developers are Sun developers. What SCM do you use at Sun? CVS is sort of the de-facto standard in the FOSS world, but I also know that it's a bit old and doesn't do the things that modern SCM's do (renaming a file!). So I'd like to hear some thoughts. CVS is fine for small centralised projects. It is really awful for larger open source projects. From my point of view the problem is lack of distributed control so that things like diffs etc take a long time to do. On a related topic, if I wanted to play around with a SCM, which would you recommend? (open source svp). Some times I wish I had one. Right now, when I work on a program, I keep doing a 'cp -r'. I'm looking at Darcs right now. It looks neat. From my point of view I would do nothing until the current SCM wars settle down. Linus has thrown the gauntlet down and a lot of SCM projects are doing great things but this also makes them a little unstable. subversion is an enhanced CVS and improves things. Does not make fundamental improvements. aegis is a forced testing framework that has a source repository as well. archs latest release is badly broken. I went to the http://bazaar-ng.org presentation at LCA it looks like the future of source control but it really is raw. Ubuntu Linux is throwing a lot of weight to baz, an archs derivative with easier command structures and faster performance. If I was jumping today I would definitely look at this. They are actively canvasing support from other teams. Seems like a great idea. I want to write a proposal on implementing a replacement for CVS so I have been spending some time learning about this stuff. -- Ken Foskey OpenOffice.org developer - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please help us. http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4925 Try this in excel: Format a column short so that you get for field overflow. Write to a CSV file. Look at it, the field is ### in the export file. There are flaws with the MS model. There probably should be an option however I have heard that the major problem is the lack of certain functions (from spreadsheet people). Basically what is your major problem is not others. There are other methods of solving your problem so you could work around it or just work with your own external formatting rules therefore it is not a major show stopper even for you. It is more of an annoyance. CSV is a really bad format, I have seen csv files from excel loaded into excel that are totally different. I have seen interoperability problems with csv files between applications.

The concept of the new SCM tools are a fundamental shift in the way you work. The ability to branch and merge externally on your own tree appeals to me. For example when a new CWS is created internally for review there is a period of time until the merge, during that time I want to be able to merge that branch into my tree then when head merges with that branch I want the merge to actually work.

At the OOo miniconf at linux.conf.au there was a process to merge in
documentation into a template. It avoided XML (There are traps to
this...) it simply replaced keywords in the document with text simplest
approach is:
unzip
cat document.xml | sed 's/{$MYVAR}/some value I want to see/g' new
zip
This was so simple and fast. This process could help you a lot. I was
going to write a sample perl module and put it somewhere in the tree

Traps are if you get actual XML inside the text you replace you could
end up in trouble.
