GSOC ReportBuilder Weekly Update

[Adam Seskunas]

In last week's email I mentioned that I had submitted a
patch to Gerrit that splits up ORptExport::exportContainer
into some logical chunks.

I spent the end of last week going through code review for
the patch with my mentor Michael, and I'm happy to report
the patch has been merged. Thanks for all the help and
patience Michael! The patch can be viewed here

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/188189

During my weekly meeting with my mentors it was decided
that it would be greatly beneficial to break all of the work I
have done up until now into several commits and submit
them as one Gerrit patch. Locally I had several branches
that I had been working on different aspects of the project
and so I've spent the first part of this week merging these
into one branch and slightly refining the commits so that
each commit is one logical change to the code base.

I also continued work on the new export filter. I'm happy to
report that I've succeeded in implementing the second filter
and changing the save/export paths that start here

With my latest patch you can save or export a Report without using
the Pentaho Report Engine. Unfortunately the patch isn't ready
for Gerrit as while trying to reduce some code redundancy between
the ORptExport(old filter) and ORptExport2(new filter) I've crossed
some wires and the output is a bit mangled at the moment. I should
have it sorted by tomorrow afternoon and will update it to Gerrit when
it's fixed. After that's finished the plan remains to move on to
implementing
Grouping which I hope to be able to talk about next week.

That's it for now, have a good week,
Adam Seskunas
