for  95% of our users?


We are estimating with no knowledge. A quick e-mail discussion on the 
users list would give us better information on whether we are dropping 
something critical for users or not. Then I perfectly understand that we 
have to deliver 4.1.0 in a reasonable timeframe and that we have no 
immediate solution for this removed feature.


Ideally, we should at least conclude that:

1) the Windows version is completely unaffected (best way: ask people 
who rely on these features to test with the Beta or RC3)


2) the feature is not seen as critical in other environments (it isn't 
for me, it isn't for you; but we may be missing some important use cases).



I would go for the release, fix it and release a 4.1.1 when a fix is
available.


If we are committed to fix it in 4.1.1 this is important to say too.

Another possibility: I am not au fait with Digital Signatures so may be utterly 
off target

Would it be possible to (quickly) develop an extension that provided the 
Digital Signature functionality? Then release of OO 4.1 could continue as 
planned, with the Digital Signature functionality available by such an add-on?

probably not easy ;-)

We should discuss the this feature in a separate thread because I see
many open question about it in general... But the good news is that it
still works on Windows and I am very confident that it works completely.

Ok I did some Easter learning and I can confirm that this feature is
broken (on Mac and Linux) because of the removal of the mozilla
libraries. On Windows it is still working because here the Windows
certificate store is already used. It's not nice and we have to fix this
asap but that will take time and is not possible for AOO 4.1.

Nevertheless would I like to propose to continue with the AOO 4.1
release. I believe to remember that we proposed and agreed on the
removal of the mozilla libraries to get rid of this ugly old stuff.

Users who require this features on Mac and Linux have to wait for the
next release.

On Linux, OpenOffice document signature is done via the Mozilla
firefox certificate store.  On Windows, it is done via the Windows
certificate store.

I suppose the procedure is as follows:

1. Get/create a personal X.509 key/certificate with e-mail as the common
name.  Self-signed personal key/certificates should be OK.

2. Import it into the Mozilla firefox certificate store or Windows
certificate store.

3. Close OpenOffice, including the quick run icon, if it is currently
running.  Restart it.

4. Save some document with something.

5. Sign the document from [File]=[Digital Signature].

Before 4.0, the personal key/certificate in the Mozilla certificate
store will be shown in [File]=[Digital Signature].  On 4.1, this is
missing.

Digital signature is an important part to OpenOffice macro security
and document integrity.  If this is unintended, we will have to do
something to fix it.

I think it is important to know whether AOO 4.1 fails safe with

set security to allow only execution of signed macros and AOO 4.1
permits them to be executed without being able to verify the

well it is indeed unfortunately but shows also that this feature is not very 
often used.  It seems at least so.

For me it is still confusing, I don't see my certificates under trusted certs 
in the macro security dialog and have no clue how or where I can add trusted 
certs. But I can sign documents under Windows with a self signed cert. If the 
cert is added as trusted root cert it can be validated.  
I will do more checks on Linux and Mac with an older version but have this 
really worked before?

It seems rather serious. I expect that ordinary private users are not 
affected so much, but corporate or institutional users may be. One thing 
we could do is to call for specific testing on mailing lists, so that 
these power users can compare 4.0.1 and 4.1.0-RC3 in their concrete 
experience on Linux/Mac. But we'll need the snapshots to be reachable 
again (due to the already discussed infra problems) for this.


It's true that removal of Mozilla libraries was discussed and approved, 
but the side effects at the time were believed to be almost irrelevant 
with respect to this newly found one.


And thanks Imacat for reporting this... better late than after release! 
Shall we capture it in Bugzilla with your instructions?


Regards,
  Andrea.

 well it is indeed unfortunately but shows also that this feature is
 not very often used.  It seems at least so.
 
 It seems rather serious. I expect that ordinary private users are not
 affected so much, but corporate or institutional users may be. One thing
 we could do is to call for specific testing on mailing lists, so that
 these power users can compare 4.0.1 and 4.1.0-RC3 in their concrete
 experience on Linux/Mac. But we'll need the snapshots to be reachable
 again (due to the already discussed infra problems) for this.

Sure!  I cannot log on to bugzilla now, still investigating.

P.S. To sign the macros:  Start the Basic IDE, navigate to the document
macro, and select [File]-[Digital signature].

[RELEASE]: RC3 available

2014-04-14 Thread Jürgen Schmidt
Hi,

the RC3 build (rev. 1586584) is uploading and most of the files are
already available. Only 32 bit language packs for Linux are currently
missing.

I plan to start a vote later today but would like to invite everybody to
test the new build already ...
