* Pending Action Items:
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 6.2.5 rc1 week 24 (June 10-16)
+ next week.
+ 6.3.0 beta2 – 2 weeks out
+ no reviews required for fixes still on libreoffice-6-3
+ 6.3.0 beta1 / libreoffice-6-3 branch / feature freeze:
+ so far no reviews required on each side, but no features either:
+ late features
+ Apple notarization feature for 10.4.15 (Christian)
+ now included.
+ so far no reports about something not working
but still to early to draw conclusions.
+ If you notice any reports, please ping cloph directly
on irc/telegram/...
+ Zip parallelism (Lubos)
+ see tdf#113042
- https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/a42291d0abd14c6c763962a5ae60b02a8552f641/backtraces/task947-core.20261.backtrace.txt related ?
+ Lubos working on the bugs …
+ crash traces now showing file-names (Caolan)
+ problem with streams with bad CRCs
+ used to not care during loading, but saving shows the issue
+ discussed on the dev list – awaiting conclusion
+ pulled out files that cause issues for Lubos (Caolan)
+ these files were artificially generated Forcepoint files
+ doesn’t matter which way we go – ignoring them is fine.
+ Online / Sidebar merge – core + online (Ash)
+ extraordinarily busy ~50+ patches
+ and some problems here, breaking things in gerrit
+ another week until it gets there in core, lets see
+ perhaps punt it.
+ HSQLDB vs. Firebird ? (Caolan)
+ last release punted out decision on removing HSQLDB
+ should we do that / who makes that decision ?
+ would like to see it go but – do we think it will work ?
+ not a good idea to remove HSQLDB in 6.3 (Drew)
+ migration assistant is not capable of moving the
majority of files it can run across.
+ E-mail on dev. list about this.
+ recommend leave firebird active as in 6.2
+ recommend expose migration assistant as it is today
+ but reasonable set of data-types doesn’t work for
+ needs to be fixed & improving SDBC driver to have parity
with HSQL – spend time to 6.4 to focus activities to
encourage migration.
+ prefer to drop this for 6.4 ...
+ what is the state ? (Caolan)
+ firebird is the default in 6.2 (Drew)
+ in 6.3 we get the migration assistant out of the box.
+ suggest on the dialog box saying “want to migrate ?” (Drew)
+ link to a wiki page with a tutorial to help there.
+ tie it into some blog posts – to get some urgency here (Drew)
AI: + add link to the dialog (Caolan)
+ do we have a migration tracking bug ? (Caolan)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116968
+ Bullets/Numbering dialog (Heiko)
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120905
+ https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125642
+ work ongoing by Gulsah, Mike K., Caolan, Miklos, Andras
scaling issues here (?) Mike K and Caolan poked it.
+ not totally happy on the workflow, but big improvement.
+ Gulsah plans to still work on it but on vacation (Miklos)
+ lets re-visit next week.
+ good for QA to look (Heiko)
+ makes most senese when known issues are fixed (Miklos)
+ UI only, not frozen yet, not really a late feature
+ Remotes
+ Android viewer
+ Online
+ branched b1 release coming soon.
* Safari issue with sandboxing (Christian)
+ as a sandboxed app Safari can’t access files in LibreOffice distro
+ user can’t click links and load our built-in help anymore.
+ affects existing LibreOffice released versions
+ should we ship a built-in webkit widget (?)
+ horrible that the web is not this cross-platform thing (Michael)
+ use the browser of the system, build our own help viewer again (Cloph)
+ can sandbox’d safari access localhost ports ? (Michael Stahl)
+ could have a mini web-server for our help.
+ havn’t tried this; can’t use /tmp etc. (Christian)
+ could place intermediate pages in NS_TMP directories
+ but this is not how our help system works.
+ could try the web server thing but the webkit
integration easier (Christian)
+ disappointed by move from Apple (Olivier)
+ hopefully webkit viewer is better than complete browser for XHP (Kendy)
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ New Help seems stable – no news
+ Helpcontent2
+ Refactoring of RegExp page ( Jay Bingham)
+ Page housekeeping (ohallot, libreofficiant)
+ GSODoc
+ Providing support for candidates.
+ Guides
+ Doc team working on Calc Guide.
+ Contributors guide moved to wiki.
+ screenshots in the build are now broken
+ preventing us using them in the builds
+ perhaps changes in welding ? Just a guess.
+ if being run under gtk3 won’t work (Caolan)
+ try to set SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk instead – if that’s it.

+ high failure rate for linux/overall due to patch series that failed
(45 changesets depending on each other)
+ https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/tmp/gerrit_190635.html
+ tests that failed more than twice in last seven days:
3 CppunitTest_sw_uwriter
5 UITest_calc_tests7
7 CppunitTest_sw_uiwriter
+ test cases seem to be under control now.
+ Additional Mac Mini 2018 ordered for Jenkins builder
+ 30-40mins build times
+ will be hosted again in Switzerland along with the existing Mac Mini
+ will meet them in Munich the week after next.
+ both will be unavailable for a few days starting Monday, June 17
* l10n (Sophie)
+ all looking good, thanks to Eike for solving Chinese language bug
+ will have a new “what can I do for LibreOffice” site to get translators
involved soon.
* gstreamer 0.10 removal (Christian)
+ just about removing the gstreamer 0.10 support from master
+ on new baseline we have gstreamer 1.0 (Michael S)
+ we have had both for a long time (Christian)
+ good to clean out the old stuff (Michael)
AI: + do the removal (Michael W)
* Gerrit / CI bits (Michael)
+ Thorsten, sadly missing ...
+ someone had concerns wrt. TDF funding storing logs on their servers
=> we setup our own jenkins, which is less optimal.
* x86 bit-rot concern (Luke)
+ noticed on IRC, discussion wrt. Debian’s concern wrt. x86 builds breaking
+ 87 going down, not doing any testing of 32bit builds
+ jmux suggesting adding a jenkins build slave for 32bit
+ excellent idea to keep the codebase healthy
+ would be happy to help out with that and/or updating existing box
+ this is 32bit Linux builds ? (Miklos)
+ we do have this for 32bit Windows, and the tinderbox is green.
+ assume it is for Linux (Christian)
+ Luke said on IRC he has got it running with community tool-chain
+ have docker with both 64bit compiler that builds 32bit binaries (Michael S)
+ toolchain on CentOS7 (Michael S)
+ this has the advantage of not running into OOM issues
+ was tricky to figure out how to install everything, incl. Java stuff
+ would that find the same bugs ? (Luke)
+ yes – should do (Michael S)
AI: + get details / access to systems & docker-image bits
to Luke (Michael S, Christian)
+ would prefer the native 32bit details (Christian)
+ poke me on IRC (Luke)
