All patches are OS/2 specific. The "blocker" flag is to be considered automatically extended to related issues and patches.

Re: Maintenance of AOO Wiki and Forum
I see this mail goes public on dev@ which seems to have changed a lot into a single person deciding what happens (or at least what is communicated outside the project). This is of course only my opinon as one who do not follow the project closely, but I respond accordingly. If the AOO project finds it easier to define "ordinary maintenance" then please do so, there are lots of references in the archives as to what that means, written by myself and other PMC members. If you have specific questions I am happy to help. Your description sounds ok (at least for a sales brochure), reality might be a bit more complicated but not that much. However you avoid the real problem, the upgrade, in my private opinion the servers need an makeover for security reasons, but that is my personal opinion (to any hackers: the servers are currently well protected from the outside due to the https structure that infra prefers to use) I understand from other lists, which I cannot refer to, that the AOO chair (I have not seen it confirmed anywhere from the PMC) is talking with infra, so I do not understand the background for your question, nor do I want to interfere in talks between the AOO chair and Infra. As I have said many times I am part of Infra and part of apache, so naturally I am available for help when needed, but please do not use me as a go-between infra and the project. rgds jan i On Friday, September 11, 2015, Andrea Pescetti wrote: > On 14/08/2015 jan i wrote: > >> this might be a good time for a new maintainer to step up. >> The actual maintenance is about 1 hour pr month. >> > > Coming back to this, it is likely to be easier to find someone if we > define this "ordinary maintenance" better.

Re: Wrongful information on the Wikipedia
Sorry, I missed the infobox when I looked at the page. You're right, having "Dormant" there is flat out wrong and very misleading. I changed it to "Active" just now and added a ref pointer to the 4.1.2 release schedule that Andrea just provided. I just hope there aren't certain parties with a vested interest in denigrating AOO sitting around planning to start a revert war over this. :-( Phil This message optimized for indexing by NSA PRISM On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 10:08 AM, Max Merbald wrote: > Hi Phil, > > what I meant was the infobox at the top right.

Your description sounds ok (at least for a sales brochure), reality might be a bit more complicated but not that much. Well, you had stated here that maintenance takes 1 hour per month and I asked if we could have some details on how that hour is spent so that people would be able to understand if they could help. However you avoid the real problem, the upgrade I did it once. I know it is painful due to the setup and I wouldn't put a new person on it. I mean, if someone joins the team they are more likely to start with the ordinary updates that take one hour per month, not with the upgrade of an application which is configured (for legacy reasons) in a very peculiar way with lots of pitfalls. nor do I want to interfere in talks between the AOO chair and Infra. Neither do I, and I am not aware of the contents (if any) of such talks. naturally I am available for help when needed Good, thanks! I remembered that we still have some updates pending that are not real application updates (like changing the forum homepage, the static one; so not even a sysadmin task) and it helps to know that someone may help in getting them online once they are ready.
