Re: [OT] ApacheCon

Hi Patricia; I understand OpenOffice.org started it's life in Germany, and for some posibly related reason AOO usually has more presence at ApacheConEU than in the NA event. Cheers, Pedro. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubsc

Re: Boost-related build warnings

Hi Don; The right thing would be to update boost, however this usually involves checking that builds continue to work for other platforms, including the old MSVC compiler we use for AOO. Of course we have buildbots for that, but generally I am afraid it may be work that doesn't pay on the lo

Re: branches/gbuild-reintegration merge?

+1 I have been following the branch and it looks well. Also, ydario@ was contacted about the OS/2 builds and I am sure he will catch up. I did most of the illumos changes that I considered portable enough and didn't break tests so I think they will catch up too. For a future wishlist (yeah .

Re: branches/gbuild-reintegration merge?

In response to Marcus; For furture releases we should think about to decrease limits, e.g., introduce newer baseline requirements for the OS. However, this is not for the current release line (4.x). It would be uncommon to do such kind of changes with the next release. I am not really think of

Re: branches/gbuild-reintegration merge?

Re: 5. Any system which depends on human reliability is unreliable

IMHO, The affirmation is worthless BS. Computers are designed by unreliable humans and are therefore unreliable. Software is absolutely unreliable. We measure the laws of physics and science based on what we observe. but we cannot observe reliably so our conclusions are unreliable ... oh and if

Any chance to merge the gbuild branch rather soonish?

Hello; FWIW, I am preparing a second round of spelling fixes ... it's a quite big change. I would prefer to do such changes *after* the new build system is in place though. I can deal easily with any breakage caused by the spelling fixes but it may not be very fun to have to fix again the build
