Miklos Vajna: 2010-07-30

Rebased my git repo on top of dev300-m85:

  • first just fixed patches to apply

  • then fixed them to build

  • finally compared the ooo320-m17 and the dev300-m85 output

The first two part is fine, the last is almost fine, looks like the objdata part of math objects is now buggy. And looks like the bug is that SvxMSExportOLEObjects::ExportOLEObject does not give me the correct output anymore. Which means the math export is broken in the ww8 exporter as well: created bug.

Other than that, I'm still waiting for my ssh key to be uploaded.

I also tried to search bugs which are fixed by my work and listed then in the summary file (11 issues!).

I just finished my first "upstream" build, dev300-m85. I used the howto from from Cedric. All I had to change is a bit more configure switches:

./configure --with-use-shell=bash --disable-build-mozilla --with-jdk-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0 --with-system-mozilla=mozilla --with-openldap --disable-binfilter --disable-epm
make
export LOCALINSTALLDIR=~/git/gsoc/upstream/myhack-install
cd ~/git/gsoc/upstream/myhack/instsetoo_native/util
rm -rf ../../../myhack-install; dmake openoffice_en-US PKGFORMAT=installed

Then Kendy linked me the wiki article about CWSes. Ah and if we're at CWS, the hg guys have a nice table which is really useful for guys like me who are familiar with git but no hg.

I also had to create an issue - I should use its number in the commit messages.

Other short notes:

  • Looks like a dsa key is needed for ssh, so I submitted a new one…

  • As Kendy pointed out, the --with-gcc-speedup parameter of ooo-build's configure does not work with distcc. I plan to add support for it, but it has a low priority. :)

Jonas Finnemann Jensen: Thursday the 29th of July

Today I finished support for copy, cut and paste in the visual formula editor. This is done by cloning a list of nodes, and inserting the cloned list... For creating clones I introduced a new visitor, which might also be reusable later... This still needs to be integrated with the global clipboard... And before I can do that I'll have to find the global clipboard.

Also so spend some time reading code trying to figure out how everything worked together, and I discovered UndoManager, so I've got an idea of how undo/redo functionality could be implemented and integrated.

Louis Suarez-Potts: Thousands of NHS staff stripped of Microsoft Office | Enterprise | News | PC Pro

Thousands of NHS staff stripped of Microsoft Office | Enterprise | News | PC Pro


Licensing issues at heart, here. And the problem is not simply one of binding license, though that is crucial, but of a confusion over the very notion of many licensed goods and what you can do with them. Hint: they are not yours. But not all licenses are the same. The sliver lining here: OpenOffice.org.

Miklos Vajna: 2010-07-28

Given that now I build ooo320-m19 and I'll later do more builds I thought it's time to figure out how to use distcc so that I can use not only my laptop for building but an other unused box here at home as well. In case you don't want to re-configure, you can use:

DISTCC_HOSTS='localhost 192.168.239.7' CXX="distcc g++" build -P6 -- -P6

If you reconfigure, you need:

export DISTCC_HOSTS='localhost 192.168.239.7'
./configure ... --with-gcc-speedup=distcc --with-max-jobs=6

(Or if you're an icecream user, read here.)

So after I configured distcc, I built ooo320-m19 and rebased my patch against it - no surprise I did not have to change anything, since the difference was small enough. I also added copyrights (as discussed with Kendy) to files I created.

An other issue I had a look at is copy&paste, that now works fine. First it used the old filter, second when I converted it to use the new filter it segfaulted, but that's now fixed.

The next step will be to rebase to an upstream m85 build, so far I requested my account here.

Peter Korn's Weblog


Peter is Oracle's accessibility principal (OT, I so prefer the French term, "responsable") and the Aegis conference---the first international one--to be held 6-9 October in Sevilla, is important. Accessibility issues shape the ways in which public (and many private) enterprises can and do purchase software, among other things. Designing things "inclusively," so that *all* may use them, especially the aged, is of fundamental importance. And it is something that OOo clearly recognizes, as does the Oasis ODF group.

Jonas Finnemann Jensen: Wednesday the 28th of July

Today, I wrote a small php script for converting my log entries to an RSS for inclusion on planet.go-oo.org, so here I am. But don't worry the script is bound to crash someday, so my noise will fade :)

I spend most of the day writing documentation for the visual equation editor. I did a lot LaTeX examples and graphs (using graphviz), everything is written in a header file and can be build with doxygen. Even though I'm not done I had to see how this would look when doxygen was done with it, so I tried the neat make docs, and as of writing I'm realizing that this is going to take 3-4 times as much time as it took to build OpenOffice.

Update: The page I wrote is now available here along with all of my documentation of OpenOffice Math.

Anyway, while my computer crunched away with doxygen, I started working on a cloning visitor for copy, cut and paste functionality... Oh, yes if anybody have experienced problems watching the demonstration screencasts I've posted on youtube (Selection, Editing) the videos now also available in various formats here.
