[ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/19909/
started something; what it does is check the libraries
and executables; does anything contain a '/' ie. full-path
doesnt' check for white or black-list of known good &
bad libs yet.
+ example was of case where we bibisect repos depended on
an unexpected system library.
+ would need to build a white-list, still a WIP ]

* Release Engineering update (Cloph)
+ 4.4.6 / 5.0.3 retrospective
+ released as final
+ update check a bit later than usual.
+ bug on Win-XP, check for updates doesn't create a dialog
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95183
+ 4.4.7
+ RC1 tagged and pushed to mirrors; announce to public later.
+ 5.1.0 branch / feature-freeze: ~1 weeks out: Week 47
+ Robinson to take care of branching & tagging.
+ 5.0.4 status
+ RC1 / freeze week 48, 2x weeks out.
+ Android & iOS Remote
+ will create a new Android Viewer later this week.
* Documentation (Miklos / Olivier)
+ Kendy released a new ver. of the help editing extension.
+ a number of new fixes.
+ cleaner contents of the generated help.
* UX Update (Bubli)
+ design meeting didn't happen yesterday
+ looking for a new / suitable time.
+ not found one that fits everyone.
+ continuing Tor's work on Impress transitions
+ tooltips as well as legends needed for translators.
* Further renaming in sw (Kendy/Miklos)
+ Kendy would again update the script so that Cloph can run it before the branch-off
+ new improvements to fix:
+ Sw*Frm -> Sw*Frame, Crsr -> Cursor
-- now that sw::Frame is gone (specific to binary word filter)
+ script lives in: bin/rename-sw-abbreviations.sh
+ concern wrt. testing before commit (Norbert)
+ can test the script in advance (Miklos)
+ use more precise Clang plugins ? (Bjoern)
+ nail the comments too (Miklos)
AI: + run the script just before branch-off (Robinson)
* Crashtest update
+ 0 import failures, 0 export failures, 333 coverity issues
+ downward trend on new coverity results
+ mostly qa/ Java code (Norbert)
+ not delivered code, less critical.
+ asan+ubsan crashtest run, deferred.
* SolarMutex checks in writer for UNO API (Bjoern)
+ quick note; added some SolarMutex checks in
SwClient/SwModify.
+ if anything ever touches them without that mutex -> broken.
+ found a few from subsequent-check
+ added 10x new SolarMutex bits; may not be the whole story.
+ if you find an assertion in stack-trace in dbgutil - should be easy to fix.
+ anyone doing OOP writer / UNO API, encouraged to run vs. dbgutil master
+ eg. Wollmux vs. a debug build would be interesting.
+ Grammar-checker, runs in a separate thread
+ errors.ubuntu.com - sometimes knocks itself out; locking ?
* Hackfests (Bjoern)
+ GNOME hack-fest in Madrid - Dec 2nd -> 4th (Jacobo)
+ sent an invitation to LibreOffice deployments in Spain
+ they may need funding to attend.
+ Wiki page pending - Bjoern working on it.
+ FOSDEM / Beta Co-working (Bjoern)
+ LiMux hackfest end of November (Jan-Marek)
+ Fri 20th - Sun 22nd November 2015
+ official page https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2015/11/Munich
to replace the doodle
+ next venues / suggestions
+ considering another Gran Canaria hack-fest (Thorsten)
+ March next year (?)
* Mentoring Update (JanI)
+ helping newcomers getting build going
+ what's the right gerrit workflow ?
+ will re-write the wiki page to 1 not 3
+ two others approached in private, now creating patches
+ Android & Java bits.
+ cleaning wiki pages.
+ some Java & C++ patches himself.
+ issue with cppunit hanging:
+ solenv/gbuild/CppUnit
+ visual-studio confused wrt. a unit-test file.
+ next week:
+ bugzilla & gerrit - questing for new devs.
* migrating Java subsequenttest to Python (Bjoern/Michael S)
+ open patches in gerrit
+ re-writing old java tests in python.
+ concern wrt. tests for locking issues in Java (Michael S)
+ concern wrt. duplicating tests (Miklos)
+ have either the java or the python version - not both.
+ why python not java ? (Michael M)
+ move to C++ ?
+ the python code is in-process (Bjoern)
+ usually much easier to debug.
+ check-bookmarks is special (Michael S)
+ 10k bookmarks, stress the solar-mutex etc.
=> don't migrate check-bookmarks, all other Java tests are
fair game and ensure we remove old java versions of
tests migrated to python.
+ encouraging to see tests being migrated.
* l10n Update (Sophie)
+ Cloph updated the template vs. master, translation ongoing.
+ no issues.
* Developer Certification (Stephan/Bjoern/Kendy/Thorsten)
+ pending another 5 weeks.
* Why do we have 2x svg import filters ? (Caolan)
+ perhaps Armin has some input.
+ 2 for different purposes.
A - as an image (insert->picture)
+ gives the best rendering.
B - where we import as our file format (file->open)
+ not quite as simple as expected.
hope to one day be a super-set of SVG (perhaps).
* Jenkins / CI update (Norbert)
