I admit that the current behavior has to be improved. I will do that after the 3.4 release. The described problem occurs only if one tries to save time by reusing previously downloaded extensions. The time is saved by not checking out the whole source tree, not the previously downloaded extensions, they are downloaded to a folder that contains source. You save time by - not checking out the source tree - not downloading source tar balls - not downloading dictionaries/extensions As I said above, I will improve this after the release. Something like: Download extension if - it is missing from ext_sources/ - the extension in ext_sources/ has a different MD5 checksum from the one in main/extensions.lst Other, better ideas?

The process we've been using is this: 1) Someone enters a defect report in BZ describing the issue and setting the 3_4_release_blocker flag to ? 2) Same person starts a thread on ooo-dev pointing to that BZ issue and seeking consensus to treat that issue as a release blocker 3) If there is consensus that there is a release-blocking bug, then we delay the release until we fix the bug I see that Andrea has entered an issue in BZ for this: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119229 But no one has explained what the bug actual is.

The description I gave there is a rather accurate description of the bug itself, but indeed it doesn't explain its effects. The effect is: if I modify the OpenOffice sources (extensions.lst) in order to use a newer version of the Italian (or Spanish) dictionary, by providing a new download link and a new MD5 checksum for it, the build system (unless we are building on a completely clean system, and this is a different problem) will continue to use any previously downloaded version. So the most recent builds from Ariel, for example, do not bundle the latest Italian dictionary and are not consistent with the latest source code. And no one has set the release blocker flag. The dictionary update is a problem but the inconsistency with the source code is probably a bigger problem. As for release blockers, I honestly expect that when RC1 is out we will have a look at significant bugs that emerge (including a couple of existing bugs that might not be release blockers by themselves but are surely significant, like this one https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119229 and the icons https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119208 ) and, if we have several of them, produce a RC2 instead of listing, say, ten Known bugs in the Release notes.

Let's make sure we agree on what a Release Candidate is. A RC is a build we (and the IPMC) vote on. If the vote passes then we release. There are no vetoes in this vote. The RC is not the time to start looking for new bugs, or to raise already known bugs.

We agree on this. The RC is not the time to start looking for new bugs, or to raise already known bugs. Then we have a different understanding of what the target public of a RC is, and this is likely due to a difference in processes. Historically, OpenOffice.org produced a numbered Release Candidate (OpenOffice.org 3.3 had ten, RC1 to RC10) that was made available to the community exactly for the purpose of looking for unknown bugs. QA activities were planned for the RC phase and, after a few days of availability, a RC was approved as final or rejected (and the Release Manager could, and at times did, include fixes for previously known bugs that had been accumulating and that were significant; none of them was a blocker in itself, but each of them would have caused problems to users, so their combined effect was blocking the release). Now, if I get it correctly, the target public is just people who have to vote on a release and not the community at large, so QA tests are expected to be run on an earlier version, or anyway it is not expected that the RC phase will be the peak of QA activities. Right? (In other words: the first RC in earlier times had a ~80% chance of being rejected; here the first RC would have high chances to be approved). If you are aware of a bug that must be fixed before we release, then you should have already entered it as a release-blocking issue. You should not wait for the RC build. Everything that is confirmed, P2, a bug, and different from OpenOffice.org 3.3 should either be a blocker or deserve a line in the Release Notes. Do we agree on this, or any reasonable tweaking of it? The icon problem https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119208 falls in this case, so I just commented on the relevant thread. So if you think that https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119229 is a release-blocking issue, then you need to make your case on that now. I won't. The effect, as far as the Italian dictionary is concerned, is not so big. But then we might discover that, due to that bug, we are bundling different versions of the Presentation Minimizer, or any other bundled extension, across different operating systems, and the bug might need to be re-evaluated.

That branch doesn't exist anymore on our Apache SVN. I am of the opinion that we should restore it outside, probably in apache-extras.org and generate all dictionaries there. FWIW, The LibreOffice guys have the dictionaries in an independent GIT repository. cheers, Pedro.

In a future release perhaps a modification of the install process might allow selection of dictionaries at install time. I suspect, but do not know for certain, that in some cases such users wish to economise on memory, be it storage or RAM, used by the program when installed on older computers. this is valuable feedback and we should take care of this in the future. As always and everywhere we have a lot of areas where we can improve things. That means that we exactly need the feedback from our users (home as well as enterprise users). In the end the tasks they want to achieve are very similar for all. Our focus for the future should be to make things as easy as possible for our users. Juergen In the same area, it's rather strange that the whole list of languages is available in the drop-down lists that are easily accessible to users (in the Font properties tab for example) whereas only installed dics are listed in ToolsOptionsLanguage and SettingsWriting AidsModules. The long list is either confusing (are all these languages installed?) or not convenient (I've to move along the whole list to find the correct language). It would be more logical to have the opposite: - short list (only installed dics) in the common settings - long list (with the check mark for installed languages) in the advanced options (ToolsOptions...) In the forum, very often, users don't make the difference at first between a language with a check mark (installed) and without in the list. Just my 2 ct, sorry to be OT here. Can make a bug report if needed. Hagar

We need someone that will regenerate it (it does include idx). I have updated main/extensions.lst accordingly. Please note that at the moment only two languages will have more than their native dictionary bundled: nl and ru. Please speak up if you want more dictionaries for other languages as well. I also updated some language names in the Language column on the wiki page to values that are understood by our build environment (especially the --with-lang configure switch): removed the country parts, eg fr_FR became fr. Updated the download link for Norwegian due to problems with the redirect. Finally, I added a new switch to configure. By saying --disable-bundled-dictionaries you can now, well, disable the bundling of dictionary extensions. More importantly it detects whether hunspell is available. If not the dictionaries are not bundled because the would not work anyway. -Andre Cheers, Pedro.
