Re: [porting-dev] 1.0.2 build status on Debian and current patchset summary



Hi Chris,

029_crash_no_thesaurus: IZ#10551  Urgent!  OOo crashes if no hyphenation
dict is available.  Please approve someone.


Approved.

I am at work so someone please commit to OOO_STABLE_1 and OO643C .

The issues@lingucomponent mailing list just came on line and I did not know it was even active yet!

  Nice job tracking that bug down.

Thanks,

Kevin



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
