+ 4.2.7 RC1
+ already branched and tagged
+ Norbert upgraded XCode upgrade dropped 10.8 -> Mac build delayed
+ change in the underlying C++ lib an issue in a .7 release.
+ Linux build has issues http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/writerfilter/source/dmapper/DomainMapper_Impl.cxx?id=a392a1deb0bb55f39f0232f9b3df8ad9ac9062af is problematic commit
+ Windows build up-loading soon.
+ Review appreciated for these patches:
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:open+project:core+branch:libreoffice-4-2,n,z
+ if you miss 4.2.7 - that's it: its the last release.
+ need tripple reviews - have had a -1 but no feedback since.
+ 4.3.3 RC1 - freeze on Monday
+ tagging normally on Tuesday.
+ credits: Tor not listed - why ?
http://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/credits/
+ in the alias file from gitdm-config, we have a duplicate alias
that looses commits, and fixed that also for Joerg Scottke
+ Android Remote
AI: + copy/paste the 4.3 schedule -> 4.5 schedule wiki page (Cloph)
* Mac has new code-signing scheme from 10.9 (Norbert)
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84352
+ https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/mac/technotes/tn2206/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007919-CH1-TNTAG205
+ lots of new rules & configuration restrictions to avoid
triggering gatekeeper.
+ should we back-port Tor's work to 4.3 ? (Norbert)
+ scary to back-port it, a bit reluctant
+ so people get warnings when they install for now
+ talk to Tor to see what he recommends ? (Norbert)
+ back-porting moves files around, quite a lot of work etc.
+ ending up with a hard-breakage is unpleasant.
AI: + come back next week with a proposal (Norbert)
+ leaning towards deferring for 4.4 anyway.
+ we've prolly found most of the delicate bits (Stephan)
+ found bits like this in the SDK last week.
+ will break something, but perhaps few people used them.
+ also happier to defer to 4.4
* Crashtest update (Miklos)
+ new results: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/crashtest/e29862bcc509916e7fe3e9b2f43b0672c49b7f6e/ (27-Sep-2014)
+ configure option to turn on export validation during the build.
+ already done for calc & impress, now enabled for a subset of the writer test-cases.
+ why not on by default ? (Michael)
+ requires officetron & Java and ...
+ Markus' tinderbox has it enabled
AI: + Create an Easy-hack for setting validators automatically (Miklos)
+ did my threading fix work ? (Michael)
+ bit of a delay till crashtesting provides feedback (Miklos)
+ worth double checking some of the other XLSX files (Caolan)
+ Caolan on a mission to get these numbers right down currently.
* Hackfests
+ Seattle 'Libre-Fest' (Robinson)
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Events/2014/Seattle_LibreFest
+ October 26, 2014
+ Bug-triaging/Intro-to-community event
+ Following SeaGL conference
+ definite interest, heard back from some professors from the security lab
+ want to meet Norbert and/or Kohei and/or Bjoern - why not go ?
+ Organizer wants to make it security related ... (Kohei)
+ not ideal; perhaps mis-lead by the 'hack' name
+ one of the labs / a set of labs at Uni. of Washington
+ a couple of security based team, capture-the-flag team / lab
directors was interested in connecting with us.
+ try to avoid the circus (Michael)
+ continue the discussion on E-mail (Bjoern)
+ Toulouse Hackfest (Arnaud)
+ Confirmed for Nov. 15-16th
+ more details: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Hackfest/Toulouse2014
+ Munich hack-fest (Jan-Marek):
http://www.it-muenchen-blog.de/2014/07/bug-squashing-party-2014/
+ jmux (IRC) can add you if you don't want to create an account
+ will have a BSP come-together; if someone says they're coming
just show up etc.
+ November 21st-23rd, 2014
https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2014/11/de/Munich
+ we should drop by with 2 or 3 developers, if possible
+ Be great to have -really- easy easy hacks for devs (Bjoern)
+ would it be good to have more focuse hack-fests (Michael)
* Coverity (Caolan)
+ updated to a new compiler for more, deeper joy
+ new cut/paste code detecting is great (Caolan)
+ what about tainting issues ? (Michael)
+ a problem; bit lame; internal resource files a non-issue
+ no replies from them on disabling tainting for a safe file.
+ it detects byte-swapping to turn tainting on: assumes it is
coming from a network etc. (guess) ?
+ love to be able to disable error foo from 16bit loop variables,
64k not a huge number.
* UX Update (Kendy)
+ minutes published of the first design hang-out, yesterday
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/msg06744.html
+ was fun, we were able to have some decisions too.
+ new process / how-to-do-things
+ add things to have decided to the etherpad of the design hangout
http://pad.documentfoundation.org/p/design
+ and wait for Kendy to post minutes.
+ otherwise, talking over things going in from last week,
encouraging to see.
* QA (Robinson)
+ unconfirmed count dropped by ~50 or so this week.
+ questions from QA team wrt. back-porting bug-fixes
+ a couple of people interested in that
+ when do we decide to back-port to 4.3 ?
+ people noticed things fixed on master, but not back-ported.
+ currently left up to the developer on a case-by-case basis (Michael)
+ length of patch no guide to risk sadly.
+ ask and you shall maybe recieve (?)
+ usually developer decides as they commit
* Up-loaded the tinderboxing bits for docker (Bjoern)
+ making it easier to deploy and manage lots of tinderboxes easily
+ magic orchestration stuff.
+ https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=tb3-docker.git;a=summary
+ isn't it a bit limited ? (Cedric)
+ Linux only, one distro etc. ?
+ surely the power of tinderboxes is hetrogenous architectures.
+ useful anyway (Bjoern)
* QA stats:
