Web pages 404

2020-02-09 Thread Michele Denber

On this page: https://www.openoffice.org/porting/index.html  there is a
reference to "a port to OpenSolaris (Sparc) by Adfinis SyGroup AG
(Nicolas Christener)":

http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-sparc/

But that page is 404 and should probably be removed (unless anyone knows
where it went).  Same for this link directly below that one:
http://www.opensolaris.org/

 I think I'm going to try building 4.1.7 in Solaris 11.4 SPARC myself.

The staging area isn't working anymore. This is related to the permanent

No, such synopsis does not exist. The committee candidate has an 
appendix which lists the issues, which were incorporated, and the relax 
schema has comments at the element/attributes by which issue they are 
effected.


Besides a lot of errata and clearing precedency of attributes and 
clearing corner cases, I see these new things in ODF 1.3 for example:

several changes and additions in number formats
several additions to charts, e.g new kind of interpolation and of 
regression curve

additional print option in Calc
PGP encryption

Example of things implemented in AOO and now in ODF 1.3:
attribute table:tab-color (Calc)
element chart:coordinate-region

You can compare the namespaces actually written by AOO with the 
namespaces listed in the ODF 1.3 specification candidate. Then you look 
in the core to which elements and attributes such own namespace is 
written. Then you take that element or attribute and look in the 
appendix of the ODF 1.3 specification, whether it is affected.

Hi Yuri, all

If I understand correctly only ODF 1.2 is a standard (OASIS and ISO), so 
creating a document with the same content on any software should result in 
identical files (only differing in the name of the software where it was 
produced)

I believe ODF 1.2 Extended means each editor can extend as appropriate which 
can lead to inconsistencies (a bit like Microsoft's XML files only work 
perfectly if you are using exactly the same version as it was saved)

> I remember seeing some differences already.

I have found the same even in very simple documents.
Again, if Extended means what I described, that is expected...

So the only logic thing for AOO to do is to jump from 1.2 to 1.3 and forget 
about Extended?
Or are there any Extended bits in AOO's format that need to be preserved (and 
are not included in 1.3)?

Pedro

There ought to be some checking of how unified is the handling of the 1.2
plain or extended between the LO and AOO. 
I remember seeing some differences already.
Is there a testsuite for the file formats?

ODF existed long before the TDF.

Publication ODF 1.0: 
1 May 2005 (OASIS), 3 May 2006 (ISO) 

Foundation of TDF: 
28 September 2010 (announced), 17 February 2012 (officially established) 


By the way, I have no intention whatsoever of belittling the TFD's services to 
ODF, I am only criticising its actions in some details.

Re: New Challange ODF 1.3 is out

2020-02-09 Thread Peter Kovacs
Small correction:

I am greatfull to all involved for ODF 1.3. I do not want to exclude
anyone. I think this is really Awesome!

And I whish someday, AOO will have also people somehow helping to
develop ODF format further.

I am sure there is still lot of work to do.

Re: New Challange ODF 1.3 is out

2020-02-09 Thread Peter Kovacs
My personal opinion in this matter is that it does not matter what
others do. All that counts is that ODF 1.3 is out.

If others want to join the party everyone is welcome. If they do not
want to that is fine, too.

I am personal very happy that the TDF has managed to organize this. And
I am excited to work on this.


So I would like to focus on the Todos what we need to do in order to get
this done.

My fist Ideas would be:

# compare 1.3with 1.2 or see if we get any other compares of changes.

# Then we need to check what is covered by the 1.2 extended implementation.

# 3 We need to make a plan what is to implement for 1.3 and make a
tracking list of features and tests to implement.


Any more Ideas?


All the Best

No, it is the only way to go. ISO itself does not develop standards by 
itself. The standards are developed somewhere else and then they are 
submitted to ISO. Only after ODF 1.3 is an approved OASIS standard, we 
can go the next step to ISO.



However, we should keep in mind that the behaviour of the TDF is not optimal as 
far as the interests of the sum of all users are concerned.


Without the help of TDF we would not have got the COSM project and ODF 
1.3 would be far away from becoming a standard.

You described it very well.

I myself have been following the development of ODF from the very beginning and 
I have to underline what you write, or rather I have to take a critical look at 
the approach of the TDF, because:

In terms of a free, uniform format for office documents and the declared 
intention to formulate this standard as an ISO standard, it is regularly 
counterproductive for LO to deviate from this and implement OASIS standard.

We all know what to think about MS in general ... but ... the approach of MS to 
ODF to implement the ISO standard is an understandable and reasonable decision.

I make this assessment for the following reason:
if it wasn't important that ODF was defined as an ISO standard, you could have 
stuck with the OASIS standard from the beginning.


> Maybe it is in OASIS' interest (and even TDF's?) that other

Probably this is a pragmatically correct question and we have no real 
possibility to behave better.

However, we should keep in mind that the behaviour of the TDF is not optimal as 
far as the interests of the sum of all users are concerned.
It is likely that MS is playing a similar game with OOXML, but the FOSS 
community should not see this as an example or excuse for their own actions.

I believe this is a quite relevant announcement!

If ODF 1.3 is only used by a single Office suite then it will no longer be 
"software independent" which IMHO defeats the purpose of an Open Document 
format...
On the other hand given that ODF 1.3 is currently not an ISO standard, 
Microsoft will not care about it until it is (in fact they are making sure that 
ODF is not used at all)

This will also isolate AOO since Open Documents will only travel in one 
direction without feature loss (much like what happens now with Microsoft's XML 
formats)

Maybe it is in OASIS' interest (and even TDF's?) that other software adopts ODF 
1.3 and that they could/should provide some support/developer time?

Regards,
Pedro

You can see within-module dependencies with "scons -u --tree=all" run in a
module:

+-fileaccess
  +-fileaccess/SConscript
  +-fileaccess/inc
  | +-fileaccess/inc/fileaccess
  |   +-fileaccess/inc/fileaccess/dllapi.h
  +-fileaccess/source
  | +-fileaccess/source/FileAccess.cxx
  | +-fileaccess/source/fileacc.xml
  +-fileaccess/util
+-fileaccess/util/fileacc.component

Dependencies between modules can be seen in main/ with "scons
--tree=prune", which autodetects tons of headers, libraries, xml, etc. in
solver/, with transitive dependencies.

There are others, see
https://scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user.html#chap-troubleshooting

You mean the idlc + regmerge + cppmaker/javamaker toolchain? It should be
fairly easy, given I already ported part of it to Ant before
(main/solenv/ant/idl.xml), although that didn't do header dependencies in
.idl files.

RE: Wie unser Projekt derzeit funktioniert

2020-02-09 Thread Peter Kovacs
Top zusätzliche Info. Ich mag zwar die Excel Referenz nicht, aber das Video ist 
eine nice Ressource.
Wir sollten an sich aufpassen wegen Gebrauchsmuster. Die sind überall geschützt.

Ich finde auch das Attribut frostig falsch. Das ist deine Interpretation. Mit 
20% Informations Volumen gegenüber einem Persönlichem Dialog gibt es leider 
extrem viel Spielraum.
Wir dürfen auch nicht Kulturelle und andere umgangsforms Unterschiede die zum 
Tragen können kommen vernachlässigen.
Es ist unglaublich wichtig zu verstehen das es nicht persönlich gemeint ist.

2020-02-09 Thread Peter Kovacs
Sounds nice.

It would be great to have a debug output that can be checked to check which 
dependencies have been pulled. For me a declarative output would be cool to 
understand some code. 


Also do you have an idea how to handle IDLs with scon? That would be awesome. 

All the best

Ich hatte nicht vor die Userin in Unruhe zu versetzen, noch sie derzeitig zu

bekommen habe, kann es doch wohl aber nicht schaden ihr en passant mitzuteilen 
das die 'frostige' Reaktion auf ihren Issue damit zu tun hatte das sie zu Teil

P.S.
ich habe verstanden das Probleme auch daraus resultierten das der Issue falsch 
oder ungenau formuliert war, gleichzeitig (und weil wir darüber ja derzeitig 
diskutiert haben) möchte ich auf Eines hinweisen:

bei AOO-Calc sieht man leider deutlich wie es funktionell hinter LO-Calc 
zurückgeblieben ist und eine Ursache dafür scheint mir das wir unsere Arbeit 
schlecht koordinieren und uns nicht über notwendige Priorisierungen 
unterhalten. 
Dafür würde bei Calc schon das Wiederaufleben der 'Regel' von OOo-Calc Einiges 
bringen, die da hieß: wir streben für Calc möglichst 100% Kompatibilität der 
Tabellenfunktionen (gemeint sind 'Formeln') zu MS Excel an, OBWOHL wir für OOo 
insgesamt _kein_ MSO-Clone sein wollen.

Diese Frage der Tabellenfunktionen ist nämlich der maßgebliche Teil wo AOO 
gegenüber LO zurückgefallen ist und ich sage das OBWOHL ist ein grundsätzlicher 
Gegner all der Spezial-TabellenFunktionen bin, aber ich muss zur Kenntnis 
nehmen das die meisten Anwender nicht gerne selbst denken sondern fertige Dinge 
vor die Nase gesetzt haben wollen.

Um bei, solchen Dingen, Einschätzungen richtig treffen zu können bedarf es aber 
imho essentiell der Hinzuziehung von kompetenten Praktikern. 
Ich weiß das dazu niemand die Programmierer zwingen kann, und deshalb mache ich 
darauf nur viral aufmerksam, in der Hoffnung das zu einer freiwilligen 
Berücksichtigung dieser Dinge führt.

Re: gotoSCons: automated gbuild to SCons conversion

2020-02-09 Thread Damjan Jovanovic
I've implemented static libraries, added linker version scripts, and made
some cleanups, and 22 modules can now be converted to SCons (up from 19 a
week ago).

AllLangResTarget is the next big target, and it seems exceptionally
complicated, with 3 layers of intermediate targets: .src --(transex3)-->
.src --(rsc)--> .src --(cat)--> .srs --(rsc)--> .res per language in
AllLangResTarget, with transex3 being skipped when not building
translations. Since the .src can #include C headers, they will need a
custom dependency scanner, in addition to the custom builder that all
custom targets need, plus of course delivery rules. Fortunately, as it's
Python, we have some flexibility as to how to implement it.

Hello all,


Just a heads up. On FOSDEM I learned that TDF menaged to raise money and
do the work for ODF v 1.3.

https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/open-document-format-for-office-applications-opendocument-v1-3-from-the-opendocum

I have created Bug https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128282
