because it is not lzma - it is actually xz, works for me if I let tar
figure out the compression method (i.e. don't specify --lzma and try
again)

That is strictly for 64-bit Linux, right?

for 3.5 yes. Once we get this integrated with the tinderboxes, we might also do
this for Windows. But retroactively compiling all this on Windows for 3.5 is
not feasable. However VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ is really easy to
setup and install a small Linux into is really just clicking though few dialog
and done in 5-10 Minutes. I know, because I did exactly that ~5 times today.
So, with a Linuxinstall in a Virtualbox, even Windowsuser can help out here.

Best,

Hi Bjoern,

could you provide a md5sum of the tar package? 

I'm on slow internet and after downloading more than 7 hours I get 

nino@chef:~/liboqa/Material/bibisect> tar --lzma -xf bibisect-3.5.tar.lzma
lzma: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Is the size correct?
nino@chef:~/liboqa/Material/bibisect> l b*
-rw--- 1 nino users 785268428 16. Feb 13:08 bibisect-3.5.tar.lzma

Thanks,
Nino

And if people need more specific task, having someone run bibisect on
the following bug

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40320

would be great, and that would serve as a good exercise on how to use
bibisect, I hope.

There was no response on this mail, so maybe the people do not
understand how wonderful thing this is ;-)  So let me explain:

bibisect is an extremely valuable tool to find regressions.  Using this,
you can point the developer to _exactly_ when the regression happened,
which consequently means that the developer will be able to fix the bug
much faster, and much more effectively.

This 'bibisecting' can be done by anyone, even by people with no hacking
skills - so please, if you have a "favorite" regression in LibreOffice,
try bibisect, and point us (developers) to when it happened - I am sure
the bug will get much more attention than without that :-)

All the best,
Kendy

[Libreoffice-qa] bibisecting HowTo published on the wiki

Hi all,

I added a bibisecting Howto to the wiki, please try getting started with
bibisecting and report back if you are missing information on how to proceed.
And remember: Bibisecting a bug will make it much more likely that your bug
will be fixed quickly as a bibisected regression is much easier to work out.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=QA/HowToBibisect

In hope of seeing a lot of regressions marked with 'bibisected35' in the
whiteboard status. If there are questions, dont hesitate to ask!

Best,

Bjoern

P.S.: I also added the whiteboard status tags to:
