Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] OO.o Bugzilla Now Supported at Apache

SUMMARY

1. The OpenOffice.org Bugzilla Issue Tracker at <http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/> is now Read-Only.  New bugs cannot be entered.  Existing issues can be reviewed.  Existing issues cannot be modified or updated.

2. The complete Buzilla Issue Tracker is now moved to the Apache OOo Bugzilla <http://issues.apache.org/ooo/>.  It is publicly readable.  Anyone can request a new account in order to be able to report issues.

3. If you ALREADY HAVE AN ACCOUNT on the OpenOffice.org Bugzilla, you can reactivate your account at the Apache OOo Bugzilla.  However, the e-mail address held for your account must still be operational.

REACTIVATING YOUR ACCOUNT

4. Current passwords were de-activated in the transfer of the Issue Tracker repository to Apache.  If you had an account with Login ID: "<id>", that account still exists with Login ID: "<id>@openoffice.org".  If you had a Login ID: "<e-mail>" that account still exists.

5. To reactivate your account, go to the <http://issues.apache.org/ooo/> web page.

6. In the banner at the top of the page, click "Forgot Password".

7. In the new banner, enter your Login e-mail Id at the Login: prompt.  If you used an e-mail address before, enter it now.  If you used an user-name, "<user>" before, now enter "<user>@openoffice.org".  (Replace <user> with the actual user-name.)

8. Click "Reset Password"

9. If the e-mail is for a known account, a password reset message will be sent to that e-mail address.  When it arrives, follow the instructions in that message and specify a new password.  

10. Then Log In with the same e-mail to use the issue tracker to do more than look.  You can now use the "Preferences" link on the page banners to make other adjustments.

WHY REACTIVATE THIS WAY?

10. When your account is reactivated, all bug reports in which you are a contributor will have the link from your User ID restored.  You will now receive appropriate notifications.  You can amend those issues by the same User ID.

11. In addition, when you are logged in, the "My Bugs" link at the top and bottom bars of pages will be available.

PLEASE DO THIS FIRST

12. Please use the "My Bugs" list to verify that any issues you reported previously have been preserved correctly.

13. If there is a problem in any of the bug reports, the best way to let the Apache OOo Project know is to send a message to 
<ooo-dev at incubator.apache.org>. 

Please include the Issue Number and any other important details in your message.

If there is a problem with the functioning of the Apache OOo Bugzilla itself, you can also use the bugzilla-admin email address given in the bottom-of-page banner.

 - Dennis

I said

"I just wanted you to know that you still have a common place to maintain this and other bugs if you choose to do so.  Keeping the common number helps us synchronize fixes between LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice at some point."

I was only thinking only of issues that are already recorded on the OpenOffice.org bugzilla.  To track resolution in LibreOffice, I think a new issue would be needed.  In that case, it would be valuable to cross-reference.  The same can be done if a reported defect at LibreOffice inspires creation of an issue against the Apache ooo code base as well.  (I am not assuming we would use each other's patches, since there may be license and permission incompatibilities.)

Also, if an <id>@openoffice.org e-mail is no longer received correctly, it is not possible to restore that account on the Apache bugzilla.  The best that can be done is to create a new account at <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/>.  The "My bugs" list will be a new empty one.

Hmm, messy since it involves .doc import/export.  

In any case, here is the new live location for the issue:
< https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=114485>.

In migrating to <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/> we lost everyone's passwords.  You can restore your account by clicking "Forgot Password".  At the Login: prompt, enter the e-mail address that goes with your previous user ID (that is, use koho at openoffice.org, not just koho).  Finally, click "Reset Password".  You will receive a password-change token by e-mail.

The advantage is all live-links of your ID on bugzilla pages will be restored and you will have your "My bugs" link will work as well.

Bringing it to LibreOffice attention is a good idea.  I just wanted you to know that you still have a common place to maintain this and other bugs if you choose to do so.  Keeping the common number helps us synchronize fixes between LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice at some point.

(PS: I am putting up more information on the new URL and the password reset on openoffice.org lists and forums later today here in UTC-0700.)

Hi,

This patch solves a serious problem experienced by many companies and
need to be included in libreoffice.
I'm using this patch with my own build for my customers with ooo 3.2.1
