A question about StarBasic

2013-09-02 Thread Clarence GUO
Hi~
I'm totally green at StarBasic and VBA. Now I have a question about
CreateObject. I installed SAP and have below macros.

Dim SapGuiAuto As Variant
Set SapGuiAuto = CreateObject(SAPGUI)

But I got error BASIC runtime error. '91' Module cannot be loaded; invalid
format when executing CreateObject(SAPGUI)
Then I debugged code then found all SbxFactory instances creation failed. I
found below SbxFactory instances but don't know clearly what are they.
SbiFactory, seems it's for create pure StarBasic objects
SbTypeFactory, seems it's for create user defined objects
SbClassFactory, seems it's for create user defined classes
SbOLEFactory, seems it's for create OLE objects
SbFormFactory, is it for create form controls?
SbUnoFactory, seems it's for create UNO structs

In my scenario, which instance should work? Is that SbTypeFactory or
SbClassFactory? But why they don't work? Is that because StarBasic only
support some predefined objects? Or I lost something? How can I enable the
support for SAP objects?
Could anybody teach me?

Thanks
Clarence

 Hi.

 I had a talk on #asfinfra today, regarding our upcomming 4.0.1 release.

 Sync on mirrors takes about a week, and the mirror can in general not
 hold
 4.0 and 4.0.1


 Is this a change?  The current published advice is that the mirrors
 take no more than 24 hours to sync:

 https://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html#distribution

 
 no actually not, the problem is the size of our distribution, with 4.0 it
 took 8 days and one Chinese mirror has not updated fully yet.
 
 

 Therefore the current suggestion is to
 a) remove 4.0 from mirrors GA - 1week = 12 september
 b) update 4.0.1 to mirrors GA = 19 september.

 The downside is that mirrors will have the 4.0 ready for download for
 upto
 a week.


 The problem is we don't know for certain a GA date a week in advance.
 We can just estimate.  But as we saw with 4.0.0, a last minute defect
 can delay things by a week or more.

 
 We have a choice, we can wait until GA (as we did last time, where it took
 several weeks after GA before downloads were in place), or take a chance. I
 opt for the chance, I think it is important to have the mirrors in place
 when we announce our release.

I think most of the downloads are going over SourceForge so having the
mirrors a little bit later in sync shouldn't be a big problem.

I would prefer one simple to follow approach. And the synch is done in a
way that is suitable for the mirrors.

A further question how do we count the downloads from the ASF mirrors or
can we count them at all?



 
 

 So in practice this means that there could be more than a week where
 4.0.0 is not on the mirrors.  Maybe this is not a problem?

 
 I hope not, we loose some downloads, but hopefully the users will try again.
 
 

 The two things to watch out for (and you have probably already
 considered these, but  I'll mention them just in case):

 1)  We should not remove the 4.0.0 hashes and signature files from
 /dist.  These are referenced even when the binaries are downloaded
 from SourceForge.

 
 @henkp: can you make sure of that, please
 

 2) We need to make sure SourceForge is not rsyncing from /dist and
 mirror the 4.0.0 removal.

 
 I assume that will be the case.
 

 And I assume 4.0.1 goes to archive then?

 
 If I remember right, we (andrea) have to move it to the archive (I presume
 you mean 4.0).

no, it goes automatically to archive as far as I know

 An alternative suggestion, is to rename 4.0 to 4.0.x on the mirrors and
 have a 4.0 symlink pointing at 4.0.x.

 That way, we simply replace the 4.0.x file, after GA, and mirrors do not
 have a time without a package.

 I personally like the rename idea, so can we do lazy consensus on that ?

 Would it be possible (and preferable) to make a download page, where the
 user.

 a) selected version (exe)
 b) selected (multiple) languages (language pack without dictionary)
 c) selected (mutiple) dictionaries.

 The choices should be combined into a filename == exe+lang(s)+dict(s).
 Which is sent to the server as a download request.

 On the server we would have a backend script that packed the items together
 just like postprocess/instsetoo does today, so the user would get 1 file.

 I know how to make the backend script, but the UI could be a problem ?

 I think it is no new idea and the first question is how we handle the
 signatures?

WIth the current build, the combined packages are created upfront and
signed by the RM.
Provided that the packages are put together in the same way from the
same component parts, the sigs will still be valid.

So the RM would still need to create the combined packages, but each
could be junked after creating the sig.
However one might want to keep them in a separate area for SourceForge
which does seem to be able to handle the volume.
Or indeed use the concatenation approach if that can be combined witrh
rsync (or whatever SF uses to fetch the stuff).

Obviously hashes can be created the same way.

If a separate download / installer is used, the problem does not arise
as the parts/sigs don't change.

There's another issue with concatenation by the server: if this
requires server configuration, then mirrors will have to do it as
well.
That may be a step too far.

It would be technically possible to use a different strategy for the
ASF mirrors as opposed to SF downloads.
E.g. SF continues as now, ASF mirrors use two downloads or download/installer.
Since the vast bulk of downloads are likely to be from SF, would that
be practical?


 I just posted to a different thread much the same thoughts.

 Another way to solve UI issue might be to generate a (small)
 downloader in each language + OS combination and have that do the
 download.
 Though I've just realised that would not allow a download manager to
 be used for the main download(s).

 Again no new ideas and work for such a special downloader/instaler was
 already ongoing in former times but never made it in the public repo.

 We should take some important points into account. One click
 installation for end users is very important.
 Offline distribution is also important for users with low bandwidth.

 Hi

 I am pleased to inform you, that I have reached a major milestone with
 genLang.

 genLang is now integrated in the build system (for extraction), and  I have
 carefully tested that genLang extract (generation of .pot template files)
 is 100% identical to the existing system (except for the approx 5 errors in
 the old system).

 Sources are in branches/l10n40 (based on trunk approx start august)
 R1519182.

 The work flow is:

 1) run build --all --genPO or build --genPO
 2) on pootle server:
   cd aooGenLang; svn up
   pootle update_stores (with parms as normal)
 3) on translate.a.o
update against templates
 4) translate
 5) on pootle server:
 pootle sync_stores (with parms as normal)
 cd aooGenLang; svn commit

 Now translated files are available in our source tree.

 I have tested all these steps. We can make a number of elegant
 optimizations,
 a) allow committers to commit directly in pootle (removes 5)
 b) allow committers to run svn up (req. a simple php page and removes 2,3)

 If someone could review the branch, it would be real nice. Also I need to
 check build on windows/mac.

 In the meantime I will integrate genLang convert so we can get all
 current translations into the new system.

 and finally integrate genLang merge that generates sources with languages.

 
 Nice!  This is going to be a great simplification compared to what we
 had before.  It should help us scale up to support many more
 languages.
 
 Thanks for the sustained effort on this!

indeed a huge step forward, perfect.

Based on my experience in the past the problems with mismatched tags in
the help files (that can break the build) I would not commit the changes
from Pootle directly. I don't know how we can address this in a good
way. Maybe do a weekly update and solve all potential problems.

I will build it on MacOS...

Re: Bundling dictionaries with langpacks

 Users have reported that the Italian language pack does not contain the
 Italian dictionary. If I recall correctly, technically we have had the
 possibility to bundle dictionaries with langpacks since OpenOffice 3.x
 (anyway, 3.3 or earlier).
 

good question, first we have to figure out if it is possible at all
today to bundle dictionaries with language packs.


Juergen


 Do we have support for it in the current extensions.lst mechanism? For
 example, it would make sense to specify that:
 - The Italian full version should contain the English and Italian
 dictionaries
 - The Italian langpack should contain the Italian dictionary

I'm not sure why I am having so many issues with comphelper, but I am also

Each instance of the above is complaining about the use of SAL_MATH_FINITE. 
which I think is defined in mathconf.h


Yes, I suggest to experiment with the different SAL_MATH_FINITE 
definitions. According to the C99 standard it should be isfinite() and 
according to the C++ standard it should be std::isfinite() in cmath. 
Before C99 this was more platform dependent, e.g. it may have been 
called finite() or _finite(). On newer gcc's also __builtin_isfinite() 
is available.


Hope that helps,

 This looks like a good update to the recent flyer that was done for the 3.4

 The one thing I like from the existing one is the first paragraph from

This is very promising, and makes localizing the NL download page much

Re: [discussion] smaller footprint on dist.

2013-09-02 Thread Andrea Pescetti

janI wrote:

Would it be possible (and preferable) to make a download page, where the
user.
a) selected version (exe)
b) selected (multiple) languages (language pack without dictionary)
c) selected (mutiple) dictionaries.
The choices should be combined into a filename == exe+lang(s)+dict(s).
Which is sent to the server as a download request.
On the server we would have a backend script that packed the items together
just like postprocess/instsetoo does today, so the user would get 1 file.


Obviously this is not for 4.0.1. What I like of this proposal is that 
the user still downloads one file, which is optimal for the user interface.


A beginning could be to simply assemble the same downloads we have now 
(i.e., the user has no choice: he will get, say, the Italian version 
with Italian language and dictionary; only, this will be generated 
rather than pre-built).


Then there are a lot of things to consider:

1) Digital signatures: the assembled installer must respect them, and 
this seems hard to do.


2) Server-side processing: this would likely require some load on the 
mirrors and some infrastructure standardization. I don't know what's the 
status on Apache mirrors.


3) Respecting the priorities. Apache is a secondary mirror system, since 
the Apache mirrors don't have enough space/bandwidth to reliably offer 
downloads. So whatever is done should not cause technical issues with 
our primary mirror system (SourceForge), that never had space/bandwidth 
problems. Note that also the Apache Archives never reported problems so 
far about the space needed to archive old/current releases.

  Andrea.

I suggest you read this. Since StarOffice was OpenOffice.org -w some
addons- which is now AOO, it is totally relevant.

http://toolkit.its.isu.edu/Documentation/StarOffice/StarOffice_Basic_Guide_en-US.PDF

You will understand then that StarBasic -or OpenOffice Basic- is NOT VBA,
and that things aren't a drop-in replacement. Similar, yes. For instance,
VBA is Windows-Only and hence can interface to Windows-only services, while
StarBasic/OOBasic is, like Open Office,needs to run on multiple platforms.

Removing JavaScript from other.html

2013-09-02 Thread Andrea Pescetti
In the last few weeks we've seen users unable to see the big Download 
button in http://www.openoffice.org/download/ due to broken (but still 
used) browsers that failed to parse the JavaScript correctly. And 
http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html cannot be used as a 
fallback due to the same issue.


The JavaScript in other.html is used only to generate the page content, 
and the result is independent of the user's browser: as Marcus 
explained, it is there for convenience in creating the page.


Would it make sense to do the following?

1) Add an All Apache OpenOffice downloads link in the right-hand-side 
column of http://www.openoffice.org/download/ near the top: this way, we 
ensure that browsers with poor JavaScript support still display the link.


2) Rename other.html to other_js.html

3) Modify other.html by pasting the actual download table (can be 
retrieved, for example, with Firebug from other_js.html) in its HTML.


This way we add a manual step (step 3) once per release, but we can be 
sure that virtually all users can download OpenOffice in all cases 
(working JavaScript, no JavaScript, broken JavaScript).

slow

2013-09-02 Thread joan masgoret
Hello,

I have a problem because save calc, writer, etc. is very very very slow,
there is any problem in openoffice.
I tried libreoffice and saved very quickly.

My computer is a Intel Centrino Duo, but in the same computer I do
openoffice and libreoffice.

I prefer Openoffice.

It also looks a bit 'dumb' that we dont have a link to others from the
download page within our no script tag:

http://pastebin.mozilla.org/?diff=2959355

We never send people to other if JS is not working, let alone the language
table.

I'm not sure it makes sense to provide 2 versions of download/other.html
but I understand the JS concern.

It might make sense to provide a script, housed in svn,  to generate this
table  -- we had some other cases where this kind of technique was used in
the past. It's not as neat as the JS that's being used now, but something
to think about.  So we would not have a JS generated table at all.

Hi

I have filed INFRA-6714, wiki has simply run out of resources.

Our popularity is killing us, so what on one hand is positive (many users

I am in contact with specialists in infra, who have confirmed the problem.
I can only hope for a fast solution.

I have stepped in, despite the current unclear admin situation, any admins

 janI wrote:

 Would it be possible (and preferable) to make a download page, where the
 user.
 a) selected version (exe)
 b) selected (multiple) languages (language pack without dictionary)
 c) selected (mutiple) dictionaries.
 The choices should be combined into a filename == exe+lang(s)+dict(s).
 Which is sent to the server as a download request.
 On the server we would have a backend script that packed the items
 together
 just like postprocess/instsetoo does today, so the user would get 1 file.


 Obviously this is not for 4.0.1. What I like of this proposal is that the
 user still downloads one file, which is optimal for the user interface.

 A beginning could be to simply assemble the same downloads we have now
 (i.e., the user has no choice: he will get, say, the Italian version with
 Italian language and dictionary; only, this will be generated rather than
 pre-built).

 Then there are a lot of things to consider:

 1) Digital signatures: the assembled installer must respect them, and this
 seems hard to do.

As far as I have been able to find out (with the good help of infra
colleagues) is:
- Only exe have a digital signature

meaning this has no impact.

But it DO have an impact on checksums, where we need to store all
combinations (lots of files, each very small).



 2) Server-side processing: this would likely require some load on the
 mirrors and some infrastructure standardization. I don't know what's the
 status on Apache mirrors.

The server side, processing would happen on our server, and the files
would still be located on the mirrors

Basically the server side scropt, would split the file request into
multiple requests.


 3) Respecting the priorities. Apache is a secondary mirror system, since
 the Apache mirrors don't have enough space/bandwidth to reliably offer
 downloads. So whatever is done should not cause technical issues with our
 primary mirror system (SourceForge), that never had space/bandwidth
 problems. Note that also the Apache Archives never reported problems so far
 about the space needed to archive old/current releases.


The problem is only partial the space itself, much more the size of each
release. With a distributed system (like suggested) we can independently
release language packs, and the user sees them as integrated in the main
AOO release.

Re: [announce] genLang extract is ready.

2013-09-02 Thread Regina Henschel

Hi Jan,

I have seen, that there is a new project Apache OpenOffice genLang on 
Pootle and had a look into it for German.


1) I see, that there is a difference in the way file and location is 
divided compared to the current projects. Is this intended?


2) I see a coding problem for umlauts, for example 
https://translate.apache.org/de/aooGenLang4/chart2.po/translate/#unit=20600974

The same string is correct in the current Pootle project.

Kind regards
Regina

janI schrieb:

Hi

I am pleased to inform you, that I have reached a major milestone with
genLang.

genLang is now integrated in the build system (for extraction), and  I have
carefully tested that genLang extract (generation of .pot template files)
is 100% identical to the existing system (except for the approx 5 errors in
the old system).

Sources are in branches/l10n40 (based on trunk approx start august)
R1519182.

The work flow is:

1) run build --all --genPO or build --genPO
2) on pootle server:
   cd aooGenLang; svn up
   pootle update_stores (with parms as normal)
3) on translate.a.o
update against templates
4) translate
5) on pootle server:
 pootle sync_stores (with parms as normal)
 cd aooGenLang; svn commit

Now translated files are available in our source tree.

I have tested all these steps. We can make a number of elegant
optimizations,
a) allow committers to commit directly in pootle (removes 5)
b) allow committers to run svn up (req. a simple php page and removes 2,3)

If someone could review the branch, it would be real nice. Also I need to
check build on windows/mac.

In the meantime I will integrate genLang convert so we can get all
current translations into the new system.

and finally integrate genLang merge that generates sources with languages.

rgds
jan I.

Right, at the moment only the following has to be done to change the

- change the version number

That's all. Maybe 5 minutes when typing and committing slow. ;-)

  Hi

 I am pleased to inform you, that I have reached a major milestone with
 genLang.

 genLang is now integrated in the build system (for extraction), and  I
 have
 carefully tested that genLang extract (generation of .pot template
 files)
 is 100% identical to the existing system (except for the approx 5 errors
 in
 the old system).

 Sources are in branches/l10n40 (based on trunk approx start august)
 R1519182.

 The work flow is:

 1) run build --all --genPO or build --genPO
 2) on pootle server:
cd aooGenLang; svn up
pootle update_stores (with parms as normal)
 3) on translate.a.o
 update against templates
 4) translate
 5) on pootle server:
  pootle sync_stores (with parms as normal)
  cd aooGenLang; svn commit

 Now translated files are available in our source tree.

 I have tested all these steps. We can make a number of elegant
 optimizations,
 a) allow committers to commit directly in pootle (removes 5)
 b) allow committers to run svn up (req. a simple php page and removes
 2,3)

 If someone could review the branch, it would be real nice. Also I need to
 check build on windows/mac.

 In the meantime I will integrate genLang convert so we can get all
 current translations into the new system.

 and finally integrate genLang merge that generates sources with
 languages.

For 4.0.0 I added the binaries slowly ; some 4 to 5 languages
a day is what the rsync servers can handle. So, it takes 5 days

Soon after GA date (or earlier), refs to 4.0.0 sigs and sums should

I would very much avoid introducing another bottleneck in the process. 
Voting on the release already takes 3 days, and we won't start copying 
anything before we have the final result, as we learned from 4.0. For 
4.0, after the release was approved, we managed to have it uploaded to 
the mirrors (the SF mirrors) rather quickly, and at the same time the 
checksums/signatures, being very small files, were quickly uploaded to 
dist. This may have taken 2 days, but not more.


With this change we would have 3 days for voting plus 7 days for copying 
to mirrors before we can announce. And the benefits would be very 
marginal: the number of users who download from the Apache mirrors is 
negligible.


So, in short, if this can be done in a way that does not slow down the 
post-approval upload period from 2 days to 7 days, fine; otherwise, it 
is better to repeat what was done for 4.0: within 2 days binaries on SF 
and checksums on dist or, even better, already on archive -which is 
automatically populated from dist but has a 24-hour delay- so that we 
don't need to update the links later; then, gradually, binaries uploaded 
to dist too (this time the delay may be a matter of days instead of weeks).

Are you suggesting pointing users to the archives for current sigs and hashes?
If so, I don't think that's a good idea.

Note that the main release area (dist) is mirrored in US and EU,
whereas AFAIK http://archive.apache.org/dist/ is not.
AIUI http://archive.apache.org/dist/ is intended for archives only.

Updating the links to point to the archive server should be done for
both artifacts and sigs/hashes at the same time.

 Would it be possible (and preferable) to make a download page, where the
 user.
 a) selected version (exe)
 b) selected (multiple) languages (language pack without dictionary)
 c) selected (mutiple) dictionaries.
 The choices should be combined into a filename == exe+lang(s)+dict(s).
 Which is sent to the server as a download request.
 On the server we would have a backend script that packed the items
 together
 just like postprocess/instsetoo does today, so the user would get 1 file.


 Obviously this is not for 4.0.1. What I like of this proposal is that the
 user still downloads one file, which is optimal for the user interface.

 A beginning could be to simply assemble the same downloads we have now
 (i.e., the user has no choice: he will get, say, the Italian version with
 Italian language and dictionary; only, this will be generated rather than
 pre-built).

 Then there are a lot of things to consider:

 1) Digital signatures: the assembled installer must respect them, and this
 seems hard to do.

 As far as I have been able to find out (with the good help of infra
 colleagues) is:
 - Only exe have a digital signature

That does not sound right.
All other ASF downloads (source archives, binary archives etc) have
PGP signatures, which are created by the Release Manager.

Or maybe you mean something else by digital signature?

 meaning this has no impact.

 But it DO have an impact on checksums, where we need to store all
 combinations (lots of files, each very small).



 2) Server-side processing: this would likely require some load on the
 mirrors and some infrastructure standardization. I don't know what's the
 status on Apache mirrors.

 The server side, processing would happen on our server, and the files
 would still be located on the mirrors

 Basically the server side scropt, would split the file request into
 multiple requests.

If our server does the concatenation, surely it will have to
intercept all the data from the mirror?
That would put a huge network load on the server, no?


 3) Respecting the priorities. Apache is a secondary mirror system, since
 the Apache mirrors don't have enough space/bandwidth to reliably offer
 downloads. So whatever is done should not cause technical issues with our
 primary mirror system (SourceForge), that never had space/bandwidth
 problems. Note that also the Apache Archives never reported problems so far
 about the space needed to archive old/current releases.


 The problem is only partial the space itself, much more the size of each
 release. With a distributed system (like suggested) we can independently
 release language packs, and the user sees them as integrated in the main
 AOO release.

Re: Removing JavaScript from other.html

AFAICT, there is *already* a really good candidate for the
download/other.html page:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds

The tables in the middle are easy to follow and AFAIK contain all the
required information.

No Javascript needed for the table itself.

Can't the script which was used to create that content be tweaked a

  Would it be possible (and preferable) to make a download page, where

  a) selected version (exe)
  b) selected (multiple) languages (language pack without dictionary)
  c) selected (mutiple) dictionaries.
  The choices should be combined into a filename == exe+lang(s)+dict(s).
  Which is sent to the server as a download request.
  On the server we would have a backend script that packed the items
  together
  just like postprocess/instsetoo does today, so the user would get 1
file.
 
 
  Obviously this is not for 4.0.1. What I like of this proposal is that
the
  user still downloads one file, which is optimal for the user interface.
 
  A beginning could be to simply assemble the same downloads we have now
  (i.e., the user has no choice: he will get, say, the Italian version
with
  Italian language and dictionary; only, this will be generated rather
than
  pre-built).
 
  Then there are a lot of things to consider:
 
  1) Digital signatures: the assembled installer must respect them, and
this
  seems hard to do.
 
  As far as I have been able to find out (with the good help of infra
  colleagues) is:
  - Only exe have a digital signature

 That does not sound right.
 All other ASF downloads (source archives, binary archives etc) have
 PGP signatures, which are created by the Release Manager.

 Or maybe you mean something else by digital signature?

yes signing with a certificate. pgp is at level with mds/sha5.


  meaning this has no impact.
 
  But it DO have an impact on checksums, where we need to store all
  combinations (lots of files, each very small).
 
 
 
  2) Server-side processing: this would likely require some load on the
  mirrors and some infrastructure standardization. I don't know what's
the
  status on Apache mirrors.
 
  The server side, processing would happen on our server, and the files
  would still be located on the mirrors
 
  Basically the server side scropt, would split the file request into
  multiple requests.

 If our server does the concatenation, surely it will have to
 intercept all the data from the mirror?
 That would put a huge network load on the server, no?
depending how you make it.

  3) Respecting the priorities. Apache is a secondary mirror system,
since
  the Apache mirrors don't have enough space/bandwidth to reliably offer
  downloads. So whatever is done should not cause technical issues with
our
  primary mirror system (SourceForge), that never had space/bandwidth
  problems. Note that also the Apache Archives never reported problems
so far
  about the space needed to archive old/current releases.
 
 
  The problem is only partial the space itself, much more the size of each
  release. With a distributed system (like suggested) we can independently
  release language packs, and the user sees them as integrated in the main
  AOO release.

Re: A question about StarBasic

2013-09-02 Thread Clarence GUO
Juergen,
Yes SAPGUI is not an AOO default object, it should be a SAP COMM object. Do
you mean OpenOffice Basic doesn't support non-default objects? If so, what
are the OpenOffice Basic default objects?

  Thanks Peter,
  Yes Set SapGuiAuto = CreateObject(Excel.Sheet) works.
  Why SAPGUI must be an ActiveXObject? Is it by design?
 

 whatever it is in detail it is not part of AOO by default and probably
 comes from somewhere else.

   Hi~
  I'm totally green at StarBasic and VBA. Now I have a question about
  CreateObject. I installed SAP and have below macros.
 
  Dim SapGuiAuto As Variant
  Set SapGuiAuto = CreateObject(SAPGUI)
 
   SAPGUI must be an ActiveXObject.
 
  Does Set SapGuiAuto = CreateObject(Excel.Sheet) work?
