* Update baseline to VS2019 on master before 7.0 (Cloph)
+ Noel lists benefits on the list:
+ ASan support, faster linking, better C++ conforming
+ Did somebody tried the Asan support? (Michael S)
+ no idea yet (Stephan)
+ what patch level? (Stephan)
+ check what’s the current patch level, require that? (Miklos)
=> no objections (all)
AI: do the actual gerrit change (Stephan)
AI: please install current VS2019 on build bots / Jenkins (Cloph, Thorsten)
* GSoC 2020 (Ilmari)
+ https://opensource.googleblog.com/2019/12/announcing-google-summer-of-code-2020.html
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ if you have the time, please do mentoring!
+ Student Application Period March 16 - 31, 2020
+ Application Review Period March 31, 2020 - April 27, 2020
+ students contacting potential mentors already, as usual
* GSoC 2020: offer meson build system transition as an idea? (Jan-Marek)
+ I’m interested in mentoring this.
- anybody else interested as a 2nd mentor?
+ there is private/jmux/meson, based on https://github.com/jpakkane/core
- just my playground for a day to get a feeling for meson
- had some minor problems because of missing cmake error logging
(got help in #mesonbuild and from jpakkane)
- separate target for install / instdir
- didn’t yet check alias target for gbuild module emulation
- not sure, if partial builds work, ignoring depends?!
- add a function to include/ header
- just build some modules, not all dependencies
- maybe just a use case I’m used to rely on for VCL changes
- added instdir as install target and VCL qt5 + kf5 builds
- currently builds ~80 of ~200 LO libraries
(includes offapi and officecfg generation)
- contains a few pre-generated headers like sfx slots
(~ 95k of 120k lines overall change are pre-generated headers)
- needs externals as system libraries
(I used an Ubuntu focal schroot; can share setup, if wanted)
- always builds out-of-tree
- working with it “feels” a lot like high-level gbuild
+ I won’t add it to ideas, if ESC doesn’t think it’s worth a slot
+ want to evaluate other build systems instead? Not my GSoC idea.
+ question: do we want to offer a slot for the meson topic?
+ need a mentor → Jan-Marek could do that
+ need a secondary mentor
+ make it explicit that this is a test on a feature branch (Stephan)
+ a feasibility study
+ since there is no consensus that we want to switch
+ issue: student does the project → we need to maintain it (Stephan)
+ we have people around who understand gbuild, e.g. Michael S, Lubos (Lubos)
+ the risk is: the student builds a lot of custom stuff on top of meson (Ilmari)
+ a dozen import filters are built using autotools on Windows with gcc-wrapper (Michael S)
=> with the above limits, no objections (all)
* mentoring/easyhack update
+ reviewing patches from first contributors is much appreciated (Muhammet)

* skia / vulkan: to try it, export SAL_ENABLESKIA=1 on master (Miklos)
+ metabug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129062
+ 18 bugs total (2 open)
+ opengl transitions now work in Impress, even when skia/vulkan is active (Lubos)
+ Lubos proposes to turn it on by default on Windows on master:
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/89549
+ benefits:
+ opengl is going away, vulkan replaces it → stay relevant
+ allows later removal of lots of own opengl code, use skia’s vulkan code instead
+ later would allow phasing out GDI, allowing the removal of application-level double buffering (skia has a raster renderer)
+ GL was the default only on Windows, propose to do the same with Vulkan as well
+ questions:
+ Vulkan on Linux works better than GL on Linux (Ilmari)
+ works fine for me, obviously (Lubos)
+ flipping the default now is better than 1 w before the branch-off (Miklos)
+ GL on windows was bad due to bad drivers (Ilmari)
+ Vulkan drivers should be simpler then OpenGL – less bugs (Jan-Marek)
+ unit tests usually use the headless code, even on Windows (Lubos)
+ not bad on Windows, but on Linux, make check does not pass if you don’t stick to headless
+ ran make check with Skia test-enabled → everything passes except for Windows clipboard code lockup on exit
+ Linux has most of the test coverage (Michael S)
+ it’s a general problem (Jan-Marek)
=> no loud objections (all)
AI: push the change flipping the default (Lubos)
