Re: CentOS build box.
Hello; I started the discussion on dropping CentOS 5 and moving on to CentOS 6. There was no comment against moving to the newer version, which AFAICT is the last version to support 32 bits. Assuming AOO builds on CentOS 6, is there any reason to insist on CentOS 5?

The thread on that is: http://markmail.org/message/l4fsq3zybopbiv3o There was a dissension. I did ask about the ramifications -- what specifically IS the issue to moving to CetnOS 6 -- but got no reply. FWIW, I think your proposal merits further discussion. At this point, I'm not exactly sure what our options are. -- MzK We can all sleep easy at night knowing that somewhere at any given time, the Foo Fighters are out there fighting Foo. -- David Letterman - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

In the event that technical persons at a company are unable to (re)-install OpenOffice the best bet is the nuclear option, although this is best undertaken by experienced computer personell. For this, on the OpenOffice forum, we advise using Revo Uninstaller at its most aggressive to remove all traces of any previous installation, reboot Windows, then install from a fresh download only from www.openoffice.org/download (you will be redirected to Sourceforge site and download will start automatically in 5-10 seconds. Do not click on anything else) Before undertaking any such un/re-install it is your responsibility to ensure your data are safely backed up in some verified backup process.

I did ask about the ramifications -- what specifically IS the issue to moving to CetnOS 6 -- but got no reply. I think it was already explained by Ariel and me at the time. But in short, OpenOffice 4.x has CentOS 5.x (or the equivalent Red Hat 5.x) as a baseline distribution: in a certain sense, we commit to keeping sources buildable on CentOS 5 and to distributing binaries that run on distributions as old as CentOS 5. In order to change our baseline distribution we would normally need a compelling technical reason or a major version change (say, OpenOffice 5.x). Then for the buildbots we already use more modern distributions, but a CentOS buildbot would best be setup with CentOS 5 for the reasons explained above: a CentOS 5 buildbot would even allow us to build releases directly on it. I'm not saying this is a prerequisite for releasing 4.1.2, I'm simply explaining why the current situation makes it much more useful to have a CentOS 5 buildbot than a CentOS 6 one.

English Dictionaries updated - 1-JUN-2015
Hello! I have released a new version of the English dictionaries for OpenOffice: - en_CA (Canadian) (updated: 2015-05-18) - en_GB (British) (updated: 2015-06-01)* - en_US (American) (updated: 2015-05-18) * en_GB has 564 new words. You canwait a few days until AOO triggers it or download it from the Extension site: http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice Also, the Mozilla en_GB: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2 And the Proofing Tool GUI project site: http://marcoagpinto.cidadevirtual.pt/proofingtoolgui.html In the second half of June I will try to enhance Proofing Tool GUI (the Hunspell tool I use for editing the dictionaries) in order for it to accept also: 1) FLAG long 2) FLAG num At first I thought it would be very hard but, during sleep, I came up with an easy idea (just waiting for my vacation). Still, it won't support recursivity since it is very complex... but I am always coming up with new ideas... and maybe I will figure out something then. Also, I only added 564 new words this time because my PhD supervisor has been over me saying More studying and less hobbies :-( Thanks! Kind regards from your friend, Marco A.G.Pinto -- --
On requesting CD
Hope that these will be offered again, though I've always just downloaded until the latest version. I cannot get it to work after downloading. I was hoping maybe requesting a CD would help, then saw that option was no longer offered :( I keep getting a message that open office writer is searching for swriter.exe, none of the open office suite applications will open, with slight variations on the .exe file they are missing. I have tried 3 times now. Amy Thomas
