Return to October Meetings

[2008-10-08 14:59:30] <PhilippL> 1. Welcome new devs joining Mac OS X port 
[2008-10-08 14:59:35] <PhilippL> anybody new ?
[2008-10-08 15:00:00] <PhilippL> 2. Current state of the open child workspaces (CWS) 
[2008-10-08 15:00:16] <PhilippL> Currently I have no specific aqua CWS.
[2008-10-08 15:00:53] <hdu_hh> well ooo301gsl1 is currently osx only
[2008-10-08 15:01:28] <fne> i have no open CWS either
[2008-10-08 15:01:31] <PhilippL> Also if I had one the SVN migration would have put a hold on it.
[2008-10-08 15:02:51] <PhilippL> 3. Roundtable
[2008-10-08 15:03:29] <hdu_hh> OOo30 should be release really soon now...
[2008-10-08 15:04:44] <cloph> just a remark wrt svn: checkouttimes/cloning is very slow on Mac, so I recommend to keeping a tarball of any svn-master. When you need a new tree, unpack the tarball and then "svn switch" to the desired cws/master.
[2008-10-08 15:05:57] <PhilippL> true
[2008-10-08 15:06:04] <cloph> (unpacking tarball +  svn switch: clearly less than 10 MInutes here, checkout: 30 Min if I'm lucky, easily more - copy insted of tar: add another 10 minutes)
[2008-10-08 15:06:33] <PhilippL> 30 min, lucky you :-(
[2008-10-08 15:06:41] <PhilippL> say about 5 to 6 hours here.
[2008-10-08 15:06:55] * grahamperrin tunes in
[2008-10-08 15:07:23] <cloph> That was before everybody was starting to use svn... :-P -- a checkout from a local reposittory mirror took > 80 Minutes.
[2008-10-08 15:07:48] * grahamperrin alerts developers to http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94637 P2
[2008-10-08 15:07:48] <cloph> Wow 5 to 6 hours - thankfully it isn't /that/ slow here.
[2008-10-08 15:07:53] <IZBot> issue 94637: framework DEFECT UNCONFIRMED P2 an open edition of a file is not marked/recognisable as 'busy' to other users of the system; edits are lost or overwritten
[2008-10-08 15:08:19] <cloph> Did filelocking ever work? No idea...
[2008-10-08 15:08:47] <grahamperrin> cloph: potentially serious, IMHO
[2008-10-08 15:09:03] * grahamperrin looks forward to release, in any case :)
[2008-10-08 15:09:09] <cloph> grahamperrin: But /very/ late for the release..
[2008-10-08 15:09:48] <hdu_hh> mav did some changes for file locking on osx i92735
[2008-10-08 15:09:54] <grahamperrin> cloph: certainly.
