[2008-03-26 15:06:15] Lachs: Dyrcona, sorry, don't know what Ocke is up to [2008-03-26 15:07:23] fne: Dyrcona: ocke is in the base aka dbaccess team [2008-03-26 15:08:07] Dyrcona: mav_eric probably asked for him because we're having a problem with Base on Leopard builds of DEV300_m4. [2008-03-26 15:08:27] Dyrcona: But it may be sorted out, since it appears to be a flex issue. [2008-03-26 15:09:38] Dyrcona: is doing a build with a different version of flex to see if that fixes the problem.</message> [2008-03-26 15:11:19] Dyrcona: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=87398 [2008-03-26 15:11:25] IZBot: issue 87398: Database access DEFECT NEW P3 Syntax error in SQL Expression when no where clause [2008-03-26 15:21:14] shaunmcdonald: I presume there is nothing else that someone wants to discuss? [2008-03-26 15:24:38] johanhenselmans: Well.... [2008-03-26 15:25:30] johanhenselmans: I was wondering what version to put on a CD that we discussed about via email. Should I go for m2, to demonstrate the aqua version, or should m4 be a better option? [2008-03-26 15:27:34] shaunmcdonald: for aqua use m2 [2008-03-26 15:27:48] shaunmcdonald: x11 use 2.4.0rc6 [2008-03-26 15:28:16] johanhenselmans: OK, I'll do that. Thanks.
