[lazy consensus] hwpfilter status - preparing axe

Hello; If there is no objection (as in someone working on it), I will remove hwpfilter from the tree. As most may recall, hwpfilter was disabled due to a security vulnerability. Apparently the format is not in wide use anymore and the old filter doesn't work with the newer formats anyway.

RE: Where to start?

I can think of a few that are pressing but not necessarily the sort of thing being dreamed of. 1. Usability issues. We have a couple of serious usability issues with respect to the current code base. These are at least for Windows: a. A method for automatically backing up and resetting

Re: Building on Windows

Thank you. Also recompiled icu 200 times successfully, so we can be pretty sure that patch is correct. I've made a bug for this issue (https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126840) and committed the patch in r1729921: #i126840# - Windows/MSVC build often fails in main/icu The build script

BZ 125501 (was RE: Where to start?)

My reading of the bug report is that it is entirely about OS/2 and has nothing to do with Windows. I suppose the only question is whether that created a regression on 4.1.2 on any non-OS/2 platform. Do we know if Yuri (or someone) merged those changes to the AOO410 branch before AOO 4.1.2

Re: Building on Windows

I have made changes to https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step to record what I learned during this process. It would be helpful if someone with a Windows machine could attempt a build using the latest version of those instructions, to test them.

Where to start?

I expect to complete my "Building on Windows" project in the next day or so, by documenting the results in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide_AOO/Step_by_step#Windows_7 That means it is time to pick another project. Any suggestions? Here is a brief resume:

OK, *now* it is fixed. :-) I've published the staging pages to production and it looks good so far. Please have a look on your own and tell me when, e.g., links have to changed. Again, thanks for your patience in this special case. Marcus Am 02/10/2016 10:38 PM, schrieb Marcus: There
