- latest run still underway
+ 6 coverity issues
- mostly noise, mostly fixed
+ 7 ossfuzz issues
- 2 crashes, now fixed
- 5 timeouts
* Crash Reporting (from crashreport.libreoffice.org) (Xisco)
+ 25.2.1.2 27612(+236)
+ 25.2.2.2 46699(+750)
+ 25.2.3.2 20395(+644)
+ 25.2.4.3 10556(+6395)
* MAR updater (Cloph)
+ if English is missing, and the relevant language is also missing, then the user may end up with that last added language
+ e.g. install would language XY, but the MAR updater adds these new languages
+ so these can end up as the chosen fallback
+ then it's hard to find tools -> options to switch back
+ last time this happened with Tagalog (Stephan)
+ didn't we agreed to always install English?
+ but then we didn't execute on it (Cloph)
+ this would prevent future issues (Stephan)
+ we thought this would affect only a small amount of users (Cloph)
+ but this came up again
+ no option to "refuse" an update, "don't do it now"
+ have somewhat related bugs in the TDF bugzilla
+ can force a skip via environment variables, though
+ will file bugs for these
