The build is broken in shell now but it seems unrelated. The build output must be cleaned in that module before building. It seems this wasn't the case with the build bot. On the windows buildbot the nightly build is only incremental. The regular cleanup and its build are done once a week by the aoo-win7-weekly scheduler. The cleanup can be done manually but since the build time on the windows buildbot is so long and the next one will run on monday at 6am anyway I suggest we wait for it. If an incremental build doesn't work because of leftovers of a previous build it means that some dependencies are missing. Herbert

Re: Replacing things with solutions from Boost
Hi Regina; I fear that if we create a branch for it, it will be completely untested: - I suspect that I would be the only one using such branch, and things like the building issue with STLport would've been unnoticed.[1] - The changes are really, really small and localized and just don't justify a branch. FWIW, in my local box I replaced Gamma (which was based on boost code anyways). The only other thing that I would plan to replace before 4.0 is the statistics distributions and Boost makes that really REALLY easy. The new FDIST as defined in ODF is just two lines (and one of them is the #include line) I do plan to make patches and spreadsheets available for early testers, but I won't start a branch for two patches (OK, actually three if you count what I will do to the PRNG). Maho-san, may have bigger changes in mind, i that case we may consider a branch, Pedro. [1] Also note that the fix was applied with sufficient scope for all our math stuff so that won't bother againl. Da: Regina Henschel rb.hensc...@t-online.de A: AOO dev dev@openoffice.apache.org Inviato: Domenica 6 Gennaio 2013 10:19 Oggetto: Replacing things with solutions from Boost Hi all, there are attempts to replace things with better solutions provided by Boost. Although I'm not against this aim, I have concerns doing this directly on trunk. Wouldn't it be better, to first make it on a branch and have time enough to test it for all platforms, before it get integrated? There are already ia2 and sidebar to go into AOO4.0. I fear that changing to Boost will be to much to test till AOO4.0. Kind regards Regina

Re: What does supported mean for us?
On Tue, Jan 1, 2013 at 8:59 AM, Rob Weir robw...@apache.org wrote: When a commercial software vendor says a configuration is supported it means something, typically that to the extent the software license includes an entitlement to support, that the vendor will provide that service for that configuration. So saying something is supported is essentially an obligation. With a volunteer-run, open source project, supported cannot mean quite the same thing. We're not obligated, in any contractual sense, to provide anyone with anything. That's the nature of a volunteer effort. However, users and organizations considering OpenOffice will naturally think in terms of support, even if they user that term loosely. We use that term as well, in our release notes, etc. But I think we ought to have a more precise definition of what we mean when we say something is supported, in order to avoid any confusion. This question has come up recently, with regards to the status of Windows 8, where that OS had not been released at the time AOO 3.4.1 was released. So here's a strawman proposal for what supported means for us. 1) Supported is a statement we make about a specific version of AOO used with a specific platform, e.g., AOO 3.4.1 with Windows XP SP3 or AOO 3.4 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. 2) Supported means we encourage use of AOO in that configuration. We have high confidence that the combination is stable, that it works well and is safe. 3) Our confidence in stating something is supported should have a solid basis in testing. Something is not supported by us guessing it should work. It is supported only after we have successfully completed testing of that release with that platform. We probably should define exactly what level of testing is required. 4) Supported also implies that the supported configuration is sufficiently available and there is sufficient expertise that we have confidence that users will have a high quality experience seeking support on the forums and user list. 5) Supported also implies that we stand behind that release and will take necessary steps to correct *critical* bugs, especially security flaws, via rapidly produced point releases where necessary. Note that these are all expectations that a user might have, though any given user might think that supported means only a subset of these. What we probably really need is more of a lifecycle statement, including when support for a configuration ends. -Rob I agree these 5 points are very good and needed. If we don't have an explicit entry for something like this, we definitely need to create something (off the Download page? elsewhere?) Since this is free software, I see 4. and 5. as critical to end users. #3 should go without saying -- this seems standard practice to release anything. There are certain areas of AOO that need more of this -- the DB connectivity aspects for example. Some of this is difficult for many volunteer testers without access to some environments. OK, many more interesting points made already. I am also assuming that commercial users have a slightly different set of priorities in this regard. But something like this list is needed. -- MzK No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. -- Aesop

I archived files written in Open Office 3.4 and when I go to retrieve them, they are in another language that looks like an oriental language. What can I do to read these files? I'm not much computer savvy. Thank you. Dave66

Have made a point to hit the site every day this last week and it is very much a crap shoot as to if it is up. Just now, can't get in. Ok, thanks for this response. It could be that it was removed a while back for this kind of reason.

OK. Obviously we should put it back in (it may have been on the page and then removed somewhat recently) if the project regards it as integral to our efforts. There are some others that probably should be added as well. I will be happy to take care of these additions in the next day or so. I will add this, a little off topic, I haven't been around for a while and just followed some of those links - ah the consultants listing I had not see. Nice.

Well, it, the op, prompted me to look at the CSE accessible at forum.openoffice.org. Glad I did, there was a little snaffu. Did a search for 邊 and sure enough it pulls up, under the all areas tab, but was not coming up under the forums tab - which is wrong. So, my pointy little head thinks maybe should update the index of sites - removed user.services.openoffice.org and replaced with forum.openoffice.org, seemed appropriate and maybe that is why the mistake. I guess it needs a few hours at least for that to show up. BTW looking at the stats page there for the CSE, the search bos appears to be used a few times an hour, pretty much full time. Cool. //drew This little bit about the CSE on the official forum page is way odd to me. So, as you say, on: http://forum.openoffice.org/ if I put in oooforum, it does indeed bring up lots of entries for teh OpenOffice.org Forum site.

Use the 'Advanced search'. You can narrow the search by project word processor and by a component. Severity should be 'trivial' or 'minor', so that there is no pressure to fix it. The status should be 'Confirmed', so that you are sure it is really a bug and not an user error. You can also use 'Accepted', if the last activity is more than two years ago, because that was before the move to Apache. If you have found one (or more) issues you are interested in, then tell it here. The experienced developers can likely judge, whether such bug is suitable to begin and they can give you a hint, where to start in the code. We have quite recently introduced a category Difficulty, so there are only few issues at all already sort in and therefore easy has only few bugs. If it need not be Writer, you might find suitable issues via this category too. [1] https://issues.apache.org/ooo/query.cgi

If you not have done it already, then you should start with reading the guides on the Wiki. http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO If you want to work with git, that is possible, but need some further steps. Please ask whenever something do not work for you. Especially building on Windows with a MSVC Express might be a little bit tricky. What OS do you use? If you have got your own build, you should say, which area you are interested in, Calc, Draw, Writer, Help or whatever. Kind regards Regina

Re:Re: project Volunteer
So happy that got a new comer from China, and interested in SW! I encourage you take a look on the WIKI page about the technical design of SW, which maybe helping you understanding the whole stuff. But occasionally, the AOO WIKI will be unavailable, so good luck… Here is the link: wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer. Follow the describes of the issue you picked up, I guess the issue is related to the document nodes arrangement, for you reference.

Re: (old) New feature/option to prevent autodata alterations in calc
Remember, that anything that begins as a number, Calc tries to interpret as a number rather than text. For most users, this is exactly what you want most of the time. For a few unlucky people (like you), their average use case is different than others, and you do not want that. It is odd that you can turn this stuff off in a text table, but I am unsure how to do so in a Calc document unless Read this, it will give you some ideas. http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9t=57276 Sounds like setting the default style to be text will solve your problems; maybe.

For years I have suffered as 1. numbers are turned to dates 2. phone numbers are altered 3. lower case data is changed to identical higher case data (eg: data to DATA(when DATA is a separate piece of data that i typed than the lower case)) 4. If I type Scone then i can not write s, sc, sco, or scon in the same field without my data being altered to the full word scone. There is no solution to this in the options for calc. Please do not reference selecting every cell as text or another type of data as it only stops certain types of alterations. What needs to be done is that there needs to be an option to turn off all autodata transformations. It should be in toolsoptionsopenoffice.org calcgeneralinput settings Thank you in advance Kiet Lovell The important part of the message is the piece above, the following are just my views/or justifications. I am sending this to the development mailing group as this issue has been complained about by at least hundreds of users for several years without solution. If you do not think it is a big problem then please google any of the following phrases: Office keeps changing numbers to dates Turn off autodata in calc Prevent openoffice changing my data etc. I have spent weeks of my life trying to fix this problem to no avail. The only way i can use calc is to change the data such as putting letters with phone numbers and when unable to input the correct data, by inputting slightly wrong data so that it isn't changed to a different value. Almost all users of calc use it for home finance or education or business purposes, and all of these can be badly affected by unsanctioned changes to data. Microsoft office in it's latest reincarnation is unusable for a professional and libre office has the same problem as openoffice. If you the developers of open office cannot fix this then i will either: * continue to suffer in relative silence or less likely * spend 6 months learning to program and produce my own software that i will charge for. or probably * downgrade to an efficient OS like windows 3.1 when computers were made for saving time and money, not costing you it -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php
