Please read again what I wrote: I do not want to delete those pages,


If so, do not write they will be deleted.



Best Regards and thanks to all who helped out,


If you remove the IRC meeting, I'll stop immediately to contribute to 
the OpenOffice.org Wiki, and  I'll publically explain what happened.


Is it really that hard to add [[Category:Education/Minutes]] to the
text that you copy-pasted? I dont think so. You probably could have
done that on all Education Minutes currently on the Wiki in less time
it took you to write this mail.


Sure, if presented/asked differently, this would have been no problem at 
all.

I have no idea what reports Louis talked about, if it were written ones 
or just conversations or whatever.


And I quote my reply:
 I read in the log that you seems to do so.
And also I read in the log that Louis is willing to communicate with you
and Alexandro.
That is why we in the council have attention for this and invite you
over and again to communicate in details about not specific complaints
that you make.
Because we do need to understand your reasons and experiences.

Looking at this specific thread here (and on d...@education, where it 
started), it is obvious that the way Bjoern wrote things down, gave you 
the idea that it was a war against the Education Project. Which is a 
pity. But happily by now it is clear that that was not the case.

  However, I have not found what library holds the object code for

 Let's see.. operators_new_delete.cxx is in sal/cpprt/, the
 sal/cpprt/makefile.mk says TARGET=salcpprt, then for $(OS) !=
 SOLARIS we have LIB1ARCHIV containing $(TARGET), so the resulting
 archive is libsalcpprt.a, which then per solenv/inc/$INPATH.mk and
 solenv/inc/tg_app.mk is linked to applications.

I had found libsalcpprt.a using nm and grep.  Silly me, I did not look
farther than lib/.

 
  I tried changing the source in operators_new_delete.cxx, but a rebuild
  did not reflect changes.  I presume ...
  
  (a) Something in the build process does not recognize a dependency
  that it should.  Does this sound plausible?  Should something be
  fixed?  Alas, I do not know enough even to think about the
  question.
 
 Linkage dependencies are not tracked, a long outstanding deficiency..
 a (quite) safe bet is to
 rm */$INPATH/{lib,bin}/*

Where INPATH is unxlngi6 for me, right?

I dunno how I screwed up, but I ended up unable to build.  I now have
started over from the tarfiles and will carry on from there.

 and build all. Given that apparently only applications are affected
 here, a   rm */$INPATH/bin/*   might do as well.
 
  (b) A full build will incorporate my changes.  It should not be long
  until _m76.
  
  The assertion failures are so distracting that I am considering
  removing the source line altogether from _m76 when it comes out.
 
 Strong veto. This is the only safe mechanism to detect these errors,
 which are real errors as the alloc/free procedures differ between array
 and non-array allocations.
 
  After all, it seems that most people do not even try to use a
  non-production build.
 
 IIRC the assertion is thrown only in a unxlng* non-product build, most
 developers using non-product builds unfortunately do this on Windows,
 developers building their own on Linux unfortunately don't use
 non-products because it has to be explicitly enabled during configure
 (to be changed?).

A website page about building OOo says that non-product builds are
used almost exclusively within Sun.  For a long time, I incorrectly
took that to be a warning that they are hard to accomplish rather than
merely a description of a regrettable state of affairs.  Perhaps we do
not want to encourage a non-product build for a newcomer's very first
attempt, but I could have been finding these assertions long ago.
Would a change to the website be in order?

( Heh, I had a reason for trying a non-product build.  Maybe I will
eventually get around to dealing with that.  Maybe. )

 So the set of developers actually using Linux
 non-products is quite small.
 
  If I had hope of being able to track down more causes, that would
  change my attitude.
 
 Please change your attitude nevertheless ;-)

Consider it changed.  So long as I am making a positive contribution.

( I think, though, that I am giving up on trying to use a non-product
build when I actually want to get work done grin /. )

 
 It seems you have hit an area that introduced these errors quite
 recently. I usually work with non-products and didn't encounter any up
 to m73 or so, working mainly within in Calc though.

I wandered into Base.  On a hug-a-bug day over there, issue 94543
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94543 caught my
attention, and the rest follows from that.  Some of it follows at
quite some distance.

Part of that following at a distance included figuring out how to use
detached debugging symbols to get a more informative backtrace the
first time an assertion comes up.  I start to feel conspicuous about
the number of issues I have been submitting.

Thank you for the help.
Terry.

[dev] change Xcu with extension

2010-03-30 Thread sponmonster

I am trying to configure my Open Office 3.2 per Extension (change the
standard setting). My System is Windows XP (SP3).

For example I try to change some entries in the existing .xcu files. My
question is related to the usage of xcu files within the Extension
(Configuration Data). Is that a “good” way to change settings, or is it
better to change the data with the UNO-Api.

There are some flags within the xcu files like “fuse” “replace” and
“finalized”, but I didn’t find some good documentation about all flags and
options I can set in those xcu files. I tried to change some entries in the
“Paths.xcu” but I only managed to change the entries with the usage of
“finalized”. Is that a must or does that effect only exists in a few files?

FOR Example:
Paths.xcu
node oor:name=Gallery oor:op=fuse oor:mandatory=true
  node oor:name=InternalPaths
node oor:name=$(insturl)/share/gallery oor:op=fuse/
  /node
  prop oor:name=WritePath
value$(userurl)/gallery/value
  /prop
/node

---myPath.xcu here i change the path within the extension
node oor:name=Gallery
prop oor:name=UserPaths oor:type=oor:string-list 
oor:finalized=true
valuefile:///D:/DATEN/benutzer/OpenOffice/gallery/value
/prop
prop oor:name=WritePath oor:type=xs:string oor:finalized=true
valuefile:///D:/DATEN/benutzer/OpenOffice/gallery/value
/prop
/node



It would be great if somebody knows a list or documentation about Flags and
Options used in xcu files

PS: there are some side effect by the usage of finalized
If I use finalized in the “node” tag the entry is overwritten and locked
(example: “Paths.xcu”)
If I use it in the “prop” tag the entry is overwritten and not locked
If I use “replace” nothing has changed, at least in my tests 

:)  That's exactly the reason why I want those non-pros to be

achieved by letting assertions abort.  (Couldn't resist commenting here,

If your extension makes specific, fixed settings, I would prefer an .xcu 
file.

before resorting to such extreme measures as not using non-product builds,
try the debug dialog (Control-Shift-Alt-D).
it lets you change assertion reporting from a dialog box to output on
stderr (the option is called shell), or to a window.
you can also increase your level of annoyance by enabling warnings as
well  :)

Hi Kristján,

both the CWS changefileheader3 and the OOO320 milestone m14 have 
certainly been build several times before release. It's just that only 
very few developers still use the ancient makefile.rc - a nice example 
for the evils of having multiple build systems. I wasn't even aware that 
it still exists ... Will be fixed in the next milestone.

That can help us to feel confident, that the desired broader

On the contrary, picking I look forward to pick up our normal work in

Hi Andreas, *

first a disclaimer: my comments represent only my own views about the

Addition to the disclaimer: I have been a long-term contributor to the 
project but have never really contributed code (ok a ~10 LOC patch). 
I've been deeply involved in community-QA andam now in l10n. For those 
reasons I was elected to the council - at this time  as  one of the 5 
Project Leads, but surely not the One Project Lead or Co-Lead who is a 
programmer not working for Sun. (Just quoting the old Council Charter) 
SOmore or less I've been a Product development representative.

Surely not! The thing we (you) are going to elect is the *Community*

people within the council who should rather focus product development 
*each* member should love the Community and the project.
Any member who favours product over community should rather be elected 
to an I'll do it my way Council (or become a product manager in one of 
our sponsoring companies).



And definitely more than code ;-) From my end-user driven perspective, 
the project exists for the love of the product, and the Product 
Development Representatives should coordinate the cooperative efforts 
of all OpenOffice.org projects towards one vision. A vision of 
OpenOffice.org as a product that brings true value to our project by 
providing true value to our users. Ultemately, it's the outcome that 
matters. 


Correct :) We need all our different flavours of community members with 
all the activities that need to be done to deliver a good product. But 
once you did understand this (that we need *all* the components) it does 
not really matter, if you prefere one above the other. If you 
reallyunderstood,you will make compromises.
But (and once again:I am not a code hacker at OOo) there is one thingto 
consider: without UX, QA, l10n or marketing you will deliver a product 
of very poor quality that hardly anybody would like to use. But without 
code, there will be no product (and no users) at all. The very hard job 
for a product developer is to teach code hackers, that just a product 
is not enough ;)



 If I recall it correctly, you consider our current processes for 
functional quality (QA) and design quality (UX) as unnecessary 
impediments posed by a bureaucratic instance to maintain its influence 
on the project. I mean, at least to me, it's big gap in here that 
matters a lot for the position you are applying.
I did not attend this discussion, but I don't know, why there is a gap. 
There is a difference between the necessity to have processes for 
functional and design quality and the statement, that our *current 
processes* are unnecessary (or not fitting the project's needs).  
IMO,our current process have many flaws - that are not relevant, if you 
work in a company - but become disturbing, if you work in a community 
environment.
E.g. changing visual identity or introducing new features in a bugfix 
release would be almost impossible for a community member outside the 
main sponsoring company. But if you are within, you can just do 
(because the defined processes can be fully handeled within the company).





kind regards,

André
