ReleaseStatus Minutes

On every Monday 3pm German time (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html) there is a meeting (#oooreleases on irc.freenode.net) to review the status for the next releases.

Agenda for next meeting

• Review of issues for OOoRelease24
• Meta issue for potential 2.4 stoppers has been created 84957
• Limit the download from the server between packing the server and releasing

2008-01-21

Participants: Heiner Rechtien, Ruediger Timm, Kai Sommerfeld, Rene Engelhard, IcoBgr, Joost Andrae, xiuzhi, Mechtilde Stehmann, Friedrich Strba, Pavel Janik, Martin Damboldt, Bettina Haberer, Uwe Luebbers

OOo 2.4 status

There are still 150 issues with target 2.4. Issues where the CWS has been retargeted to 3.0 need to be retargeted to 3.0 as well. Most cws now have been integrated into 2.4 codeline and build is running. OOH680_m5 is expected to be the MWS where all code freeze related CWS will be integrated into.
There are two stopper issues that have been nominated for 2.4: 74943 and 70872. Both issue have been fixed already
Another issue 85371 has been declared as a show stopper. Martin H. will care about assiging an owner to that issue.
René mentioned hyphenexternal, hunspellexternal (retargeted to 3.0) and beppec56pdffix02. He mentioned tinderbox status to be red because there has been added a new module. Martin will only accept hyphexternal if it is aggreed to be handled as stopper issue for 2.4
Heiner mentioned to have another round on SRC680 to clean up the mess that has been introduced by CWS xmlfilter02 without integrating any other CWS.

OOo 2.4 status

There are still too many CWS open for version 2.4 and we're heading code freeze this week.
Thorsten Ziehm informed that there are too many CWS and that his team unlikely will approve all CWS by January 17th.
René would like to have CWS serbianisntsrcs integrated but it depends on localization27. CWS localization unfortunately has been reset to NEW to include polish localization fixes. This delay was not planned. There was a decision to include localization27 as soon as possible and to do the polish and serbian localization separately.
René asks for assistance on cws hyphenexternal and hunspellexternal, targeted for 2.4. Both need changes to make them work on windows. Martin offers to find some help.
Martin and Thorsten will have a follow-up meeting to discuss further re targeting of CWS
There was a request to take the testtool test scripts from qa/qatesttool to another place within CVS. The discussion about this topic did not finish and has been postponed to the next release status meeting. There's a need for documentation of CVS tags of the test scripts (René asked into this direction)

OOo 2.4 status

There are about 70 CWS open for OpenOffice.org 2.4. The number of integrated CWS needs to be reduced.
Action item for Martin Hollmichel, Kai Sommerfeld and Thorsten Ziehm: take a look at the list of CWS and to try to reduce the number

René Engelhard asked for help with hyphenexternal and hunspellexternal (he needs a Windows build) to get the corresponding CWS integrated.

Additionally there was a discussion about the tinderbox status and how to care about CWS that have a red status. Martin mentioned to have a deeper look when nominating the next CWS.

Please review the list (many issues are build configuration and l10n relevant.

ES project lead mail

... will be ignored because there are no issues referenced. The meeting questioned the QA done on the builds. They were approved by QA and only after the release, upload and mirrors downloading it, ES project lead announced they think about going back. The meeting voted -1 for this, we do not support this move. The only mentioned issue (#i81789#: Activating a math formula in large document (many objects) takes very long time) is already analyzed and will be fixed for 2.3.1.
