* Present:
+ Kendy, Xisco, Heiko, Stephan, Christian, Michael M,
Sophie, Michael S, Caolán, Mike Saunders, Olivier, Thorsten,
Miklos, Eike, Shinnok
* Completed Action Items:
+ ship the horror win / VC runtime DLLs with the installer (Cloph)
[ patch appears to work, but we already have them in the installer
if you do an admin-install they are already installed.
we ship them twice – once as LibreOffice, but once as a run-time module
not entirely elegant.
for 5.4 – merge it as-is, for 6.0 do something clever.
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-5-4/Win-x86@62-TDF/tdf_108580/
]
+ research the best way to build HTML help / documentation (Olivier)
[ working actively on this (Olivier)
expect to have a solution quite fast.
WIP patch pushed to gerrit for core/ (Kendy)
checks if HTML help is installed or not,
will add opening of pages later
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/43963/
]
* Pending Action Items:
+ run dev certification script (Kendy/Thorsten)
[ have one name without running the script ]
+ provide / check web-page on dev certification process (Kendy)
[ poke Italo to find out what to check (Kendy) ]
+ find data for x86 / Linux downloads with view to removing for 6.0 (Cloph)
[ have the data, not broken down yet: termbin.com/2jc2 ]
+ fwd build details on Mac / CVE build / test failure to the list (Shinnok)
[ Bartoz removed obsolete, non LODE details from the wiki
removed quick-setup and mac-ports setup, recommends to
--disable-cve-tests on the Mac.
It works for me; what’s the issue (Stephan)
re-send the mail to the list / Stephan (Shinnok) ]
* Release Engineering update (Christian)
+ 5.4.3 RC2
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:open+branch:libreoffice-5-4-3
10 patches waiting
+ plan to tag this evening
+ please help review things.
+ 5.3.7 RC2 released as final today
Resolves: tdf#111428 implement CellStoreEvent::swap() in ScColumn::SwapCol()
possible ugly bug – 5.3.8 ?
+ Eike found a nasty bug, is it enough to do a 5.3.8
+ can lead to non-re-calculated values; would be nice to fix in 5.3
+ do we need a new release ? (Michael)
+ fixed in released 5.4.3 bits
+ merge it to the -5-3 branch in case of new release ?
+ quite a specific scenario (Eike)
+ would like to get it out if we can.
+ fine to encourage people to use 5.4 (Cloph)
+ move people to 5.4 a bit earlier too perhaps.
+ 6.0 Alpha1
+ 6.0 feature freeze: week 47 (Nov 20th)
+ late features
+ HTML help pieces (Kendy)
+ GPG / Windows bits (Thorsten)
+ Calc threading review with Eike (Michael)
+ KDE5 – merge but perhaps not ready for 6.0 (Thorsten)
+ can’t build on baseline anyway (Michael S)
+ bundling GPG-4-Win – a 25Mb package for GPG
encrypt/sign for Win? (Thorsten)
+ pointer for an extra download ?
+ License ? (Michael)
+ mix of GPL/LGPL (Thorsten)
+ want access to encryption reasonably easily
+ maintenance / security updates etc. an issue.
+ 10% increase – for perhaps minority benefit.
AI: + mail the list (Thorsten)
+ Calc column span update from Noel (Michael)
+ Updating service – expected to miss 6.0 (Cloph)
+ Android
+ Online
* Documentation (Olivier)
+ Broke large script for new help into smaller pieces
+ aim to make easy for build and packaging integration
+ looking into how to hack a makefile
+ https://goo.gl/A8dGVf
+ resuming book editing with doc community for 6.0
+ cover of the book – is under discussion.
+ looking at XML editor for help + workflow (Mike S)
+ a bunch of technical things to investigate here.

+ new table styles tdf#101349
(works under Linux but not at Windows – build issue?)
+ replacement of the binary file → XML ideal.
+ TB42 builds – apparently no styles (?)
+ choose default table size carefully ? (Miklos)
+ one item that is different on 32bit / 64bit platforms (Michael S)
+ we have two of these files.
+ not a big deal to setup styles locally,
switch local files → shared (Heiko)
AI: + build new binary style file for 32bits (Heiko)
+ tested table styles on Linux (Xisco)
+ couldn’t see it – but Heiko does.
+ new templates tdf#103317 – 16x9 the new default here.
+ Discussion about 115% line spacing for Default
+ request to move to this – under discussion.
* clang-format-ness (Miklos)
+ Came up with a prototype at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/43736/
+ got more input since last week: gerrit comments, ML posts
+ some are happy with git pre-commit approach
+ only way to enforce something
+ some people want to push it into gerrit/jenkins not locally
+ plan from DavidO on how this could be done in gerrit
+ style enforcement in different steps from Stephan
+ first - git-hooks, when clang-format is installed
+ second – jenkins-like auto-verification of style.
+ third – re-base button auto-fixes style in gerrit reviewer
+ question is who is interested in doing the work.
+ Miklos happy to do git-hook hacking
+ if people want features they are more than welcome to impl.
+ propose merge step#1 without clang-format enforced (Michael)
+ don’t like the auto-re-format of others’ commits (Stephan)
+ if want to have enforced – make sure all commits is formatted right
or we get these issues.
+ we have a similar issue with warning fixings (Kendy)
+ starting with limited files.
+ concern that people wouldn’t install clang-format (Stephan)
+ if we have this merged with other stuff.
+ to what degree do we provision binaries ? (Michael)
+ builds on windows / linux / Mac (Miklos)
+ could add this in the hook ?
+ what do we do wrt. gerrit edits ? (Stephan)
+ very minority use-case (Michael)
+ one single place we check stuff going into Master (Thorsten)
+ gerrit is optional (Miklos)
+ you don’t have to go through it.
+ not eager to make the hooks more complex (Thorsten)
+ appreciate a move into the right direction, but …
+ getting somewhere we didn’t want to go (Kendy)
+ Rome: start small – with some few files.
+ enable just for a few files Miklos is responsible for
+ only for new files.
+ understanding from Rome (Stephan)
+ these test files don’t get a cleanup commit – where
clang-format doesn’t need a follow-up commit.
+ very, very unlikely that 0.1% of web-edits convolve with this (Michael)
+ with the 1% of files that we cover with this..
+ getting this in optionally, and config in (Thorsten)
+ is quite valuable.
+ cases – where people push without git hooks setup at all.
+ true (Miklos)
+ thought only-new-files, Win, Mac binaries etc. was non-controversial (Miklos)
+ wait to find someone interested in the server-side hacking shows up.
+ propose to get the clang-format with it in as a hook on (Thorsten)
+ can we re-format only the changed lines ? (Michael)
+ tricky, and could go wrong (Miklos)
+ establish as a test-bed for the future for all files (Stephan)
+ no point in the experiment if we can’t make it 100%
+ we can generate data on how sensible if it works ? (Michael)
+ should we disable web-edit instead ? (Stephan)
+ web-edit has CI running make check (Miklos)
+ concern wrt. checking clang-config bits in (Stephan)
+ fear creation of cleanup commits from people that break history.
+ possibly too pessimistic.
+ with subset of files / script operates only on these files (Kendy)
+ in theory random people do random things (Thorsten)
=> merge step#1 and re-visit if we have problems in a week
+ as it is on gerrit, but do nothing if clang-format is not installed
+ ok with that (Thorsten, Stephan)
+ gerrit concern – if have no-one able to change it (Thorsten)
+ will have problems going forward, concern it bites us later.
+ longer discussion, trade-off via gerrit vs. not (Miklos)
* Crash Hunting (Caolan)
+ 0 import failures, 1 export failures (ODT export)
+ 8 coverity
+ 34 fuzzers, but now enabled ubsan so...
+ 34 fuzzers * 2 sanitizers (asan and ubsan) * 1 engine (libfuzzer)
=> fuzz-apocalypse 44 bugs on Tue+Wed
=> 7 today so far, hopefully tailing off
+ doubled the number of fuzzers we have active
- xls now added, will run tomorrow I imagine
+ MS word format work is good.

+ https://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2017/08/27/hackfests-the-next-generation/
+ good suggestions from Regina
+ Hamburg – 1st new-style hackfest
+ 9th-10th December possible, if it fits.
+ just after Beta2
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfests/HackfestTNG (Eike)

+ looks worse than they are
+ high failure rate of Mac compared to the rest
+ queue is quite large – a windows build ran out of disk
+ have brought it back.
+ expect the latency to improve
* l10n (Sophie)
+ work ongoing.
+ script / gettext migration (Cloph)
+ very picky wrt. Line-endings – build breaks hard
+ need to improve on the script to fix these too.
+ bit more work needed on getting export automated.
+ more work than needed (Sophie)
+ more for Cloph – checking the strings before build (Cloph)
+ translators concerned – lots of work that should not be there.
+ mistaken fuzzy strings issue (Cloph)
+ plan to auto-remove the fuzzy marker.
+ hope to have it improved a lot this week.
