12 UITest_calc_tests
24 UITest_chart
+ high load on Jenkins continues
+ tempted to kill ongoing jobs when one fails (Cloph)
+ EC2 instance is suboptimal (completed a build in 16h)
+ took them offline for now
+ have 1 replacement (on the weblate machine for now)
+ Possibly the Hetzner cloud will be a good replacement for Amazon
+ is this on-demand? (Thorsten)
+ yes, that’s the intention (Cloph)
+ though need to start the instances manually currently – but Hetzner has API, needs a bit of glue & scripting to hook up to Jenkins
+ trade-off: more info later vs less info faster
+ currently: more info later
+ plan: less info faster (kill ongoing platforms if one fails)
+ happy (Thorsten)
* Gerrit SSO (Cloph)
+ https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2019-December/083923.html
+ Switchover to ONLY TDF-SSO on Dec 25th
other authentication methods will be removed
+ you will be locked out from your account if you don’t have TDF-account
setup/infra will have to map it manually afterwards
+ Gerrit will be updated to 2.16
+ test instance: https://gerrit-stage.documentfoundation.org/
* l10n (Sophie)
+ weblate instance status: migrating to a newer version
+ also to final hardware
+ both pending on provisioning of the server (ordered it last Friday)
+ new team for Guadeloupean Creole
* Graphics architecture (Thorsten)
* https://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/ESC_graphics_architecture
* skia status: see the updated feature/skia branch in core.git (Miklos)
+ Lubos merged the SKIA branch to master
+ if you want to try it, export SAL_ENABLESKIA=1
+ Metabug for skia bugs:
- https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129062
* docx/xlsx competitive marketing isues (Miklos)
+ docx metabug status: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128194 7 open bugs
+ xlsx metabug status: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128382 4 open bugs
+ unchanged from last week
* bibisect repos heads up – those are incremental builds, so busted dependencies give interesting bugs – c.f. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128133 – needs awareness or perhaps occasional clean builds (Thorsten)
+ what about from-scratch builds for bibisect? (Miklos)
+ windows don’t have ccache (Thorsten)
+ not happy with non-c++ build cost – rebuilds change timestamps, kill git compression (Cloph)
+ regarding reproducible builds, one random link with information also
for Windows is
<http://blog.llvm.org/2019/11/deterministic-builds-with-clang-and-lld.html>
+ what about at least clean Linux builds? (Miklos)
+ a bit worried regarding random noise in bibisect repos (Cloph)
+ 8GB is the current size of a full cycle, not looking forward to larger repos (Xisco)
* QA update (Xisco)

   New:

           + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104597
           + Thorsten?

          + not happening for everyone
       + After Update to 6.1.4 on macOS fonts are blurred on retina
display (xcode 10)
          + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122218
            + probably depends on xcode version (Xisco)
            + but newer xcode is required by notorization (Cloph)
              + ideal would be to build with xcode 10 entirely
              + HiDPI screen for Cloph would be great (Michael)
              + found out: not a regression, but it is from a user’s PoV
   Fixed:
       + Sidebar Position and Size displays incorrect width and height when units in mm
