Hi, just a quick 'positive feedback' for OOO_STABLE_1: I've brought the .deb build up to the latest OOO_STABLE_1, and all seems to be working well. I can build and install .debs, and the resulting binaries seem to work well when subjected to light use :) A *big* thanks to Kevin, Ken and all the other people who worked on the build tools merge from 643 to STABLE_1.. as a result of that and other fixes, I was able to drop a huge number of patches from our build: 001_gcc_version_check.diff 026_parallel_build.diff 034_IZ6635_catch_WIN_PROTOCOLS.diff 003_enable_dmake_clean_patch.diff 027_unoil_com_sun_star_document-build_error_fix.diff 035_CJKfontcrash_STABLE1_fix.diff 010_use_libstdc++_from_debian.diff 029_stlport_stolen_from_OO642C.diff.uu 036_parallel_build_fixes.diff 012_set_compiler_vars.diff 030_stlport_gcc32_includes.diff 037_parallel_build_ignore_deperrs.diff 013_use_compiler_vars.diff 030_WM_CLASS_property.diff 150_ppc_bridge_fix.diff 014_lbnames_gcc_3.2.diff 031_define_fixes.diff 015_dont_unset_home.diff 032_stlport_linkage.diff 025_compilerflags.diff 033_nas_build_general_compiler-fix.diff The remaining patchset is: 000_pre102_stolen_from_STABLE1-binaries.diff.uu 023_user_fontpath.diff 029_crash_no_thesaurus.diff 906_set_gnome_menu_right.diff 000_pre102_stolen_from_STABLE1.diff 024_freetype_macros.diff 903_system_freetype.diff 020_remove_gpc.diff 028_fix_x_naming.diff 904_libodbc_soname.diff 021_SAL_DEBUG.diff 028_help_fallback_en.diff 905_remove_lzwc.diff A brief summary of what those patches are for: ----- 000_pre102_stolen_from_STABLE1*: Update the tree from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2. If anyone would like to use this method to keep up to date without using CVS, I am generating these patches here: http://people.debian.org/~halls/openoffice/stable1/ PATCHNAME=000_pre102_stolen_from_STABLE1 PATCHURL=http://people.debian.org/~halls/openoffice/stable1 wget -O - $(PATCHURL)/$(PATCHNAME).diff.bz2 | bunzip2 -c > patches/$(PATCHNAME).diff wget -O - $(PATCHURL)/$(PATCHNAME)-binaries.diff.uu.bz2 | bunzip2 -c > patches/$(PATCHNAME)-binaries.diff.uu ----- Patches waiting for approval/commit: 029_crash_no_thesaurus: IZ#10551 Urgent! OOo crashes if no hyphenation dict is available. Please approve someone. 028_fix_x_naming: IZ#7194. Fix X naming. 'XWindows' should be replaced by the correct name: 'X11' or 'X Window'. 024_freetype_macros.diff: IZ#6630 - add support for the new freetype internal macro names so that people building against a newer freetype (see system_freetype.diff) do not have to patch the source. Issue was closed and no response from the developer concering applying just the #defines fixes to the source for OOO_STABLE_1 ----- Patches that need more work before being suitable for integration: 021_SAL_DEBUG: run OOo in gdb or strace if SAL_DEBUG is set. This needs cleaning before submission. 023_user_fontpath.diff: Patch from Mandrake to pass the fontpath to soffice script. Not thought out well enough to submit yet. 028_help_fallback_en: A patch from Gwenole to look for help in the en directory if it is not found in the native language. I would like to extend this to provide a new config vlaue, instead of using ooLocale, so that the help locale can be selected independently of the system locale. 904_libodbc_soname.diff: dlopen the versioned so name instead of libodbc.so, which only exists in development packages, 906_get_gnome_menu_right: Supposed to place the OOo icons in the correct places for GNOME2, but Jan says it doesn't work properly yet ----- Patches that are unconditional and need to modified to be enabled via a --with-x switch to config_office. See IZ#10477. 020_remove_gpc: Removal of non-free gpc library, needed for Debian licensing. 903_system_freetype: use libfreetype in /usr/lib 905_remove_lzwc: Don't use patented .gif creation code ----- I'll be comitting these updates to the Debian CVS shortly. I'm hoping to get the .debs in a good enough state to upload a prerelease to Debian unstable to get some wider testing before the official release. Chris
