[15:16] <mav_eric> ericb2: is there no meeting today?

[15:16] * mav_eric just noticed that the meeting is already in progress - sorry

[15:17] <ericb2> ok, that's great to see new people

[15:17] <ericb2> Tweek_: have you something to add, to present you ?

[15:18] <jsi_sun> hdu_hh: I have in my query 151 issues on 'aqua' ....

[15:18] <jsi_sun> hdu_hh: am I right?

[15:18] * ericb2 has 268

[15:18] <jsi_sun> ericb2: and hdu_hh already started the meeting...

[15:19] <PhilippL> ericb2: those are probably macport and keyword aqua combined ?

[15:19] <jsi_sun> ericb2: without closed and keyowrd = "aqua" -> 151

[15:19] <ericb2> jsi_sun : PhilippL: yes, they are

[15:20] <jsi_sun> ericb2: I look only on 'aqua'.... and now 152 :-)

[15:21] <hdu_hh> jsi_sun: do you agree with ericb2 on the top issues (http://eric.bachard.free.fr/mac/aquavcl/todo/october_2007/ aqua_Top15_of_tasks_7th_october.rtf)

[15:21] <ericb2> Can we go back with point2 ?

[15:21] * ericb2 just suggested

[15:21] <hdu_hh> ericb2: go ahead :-)

[15:22] <jsi_sun> hdu_hh: rtf...grrrr

[15:22] <ericb2> spotlight01 is integrated too

[15:22] <ericb2> Florian Heckl did a great work

[15:22] <hdu_hh> ericb2: yay!

[15:22] <ericb2> FYI, Florian rewrote the plugin from scratch. then we will remove ( mh is aware) the NeoLight license from OpenOffice.org sources

[15:23] <ericb2> no longer needed

[15:23] <hdu_hh> ericb2: indeed. Thanks fheckl

[15:23] <jsi_sun> hdu_hh: why is 4) Use native print dialog box (issue 77583) important? Important means that it is possible to print.

[15:23] <ericb2> jsi_sun: this is a stopper for migrations

[15:23] <ericb2> jsi_sun: even a big one

[15:23] <jsi_sun> hdu_hh: 7) emulate right click with CTRL + click does not work for popup menus ( issue 82284 ) is in my eyes VERY IMPORTANT because you can not really work on notebooks if you like using context menus

[15:24] <IZBot> porting DEFECT NEW P3 emulate right click with CTRL + click does not work on Aqua ( Mac OSX ) http://qa.openoffice.org/ issues/show_bug.cgi?id=82284

[15:24] <mav_eric> jsi_sun: native printing is the most common request I get via private mails

[15:25] <jsi_sun> hdu_hh: 12)Mousewheel does not work in some listboxes http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=82266 not important

[15:25] <IZBot> issue 82266: porting DEFECT NEW P3 Mousewheel does not work in listboxes Tiger (font list e.g.)

[15:25] <PhilippL> mav_eric: native printing or native print dialog ?

[15:25] <ericb2> jsi_sun: I disagree

[15:25] <jsi_sun> mav_eric: okay, then you should add it to the issue

[15:25] <mav_eric> PhilippL: more the native printing dialogue - the OOo is very limited

[15:25] <jsi_sun> ericb2: hdu_hh asked _me_ if I agree

[15:25] <jsi_sun> :-)

[15:25] <ericb2> jsi_sun: mousewheel is a nightmare on Tiger, but not ( why ? ) on Leopard

[15:25] <jsi_sun> hdu_hh: the rest is ok from my point of view

[15:26] <ericb2> jsi_sun: if you have other tasks in mind, please propose

[15:26] <ericb2> jsi_sun: I can be wrong

[15:26] <jsi_sun> ericb2: Tiger? Do we support Tiger with 2.4? Panther is the black one, right? SCNR

[15:27] <mav_eric> yes we should support Tiger aka 10.4.x with 2.4

[15:27] <jsi_sun> ericb2: yes, I have some.... declare() is not working, native TT can not be startet via batch mode....

[15:27] <ericb2> jsi_sun: + Leopard to come

[15:27] <mav_eric> users would kill us we only support Leo with 2.4+

[15:27] <ericb2> mav_eric: we cannot support a non existing OS ? 8)

[15:27] <jsi_sun> mav_eric: okay, I am alwys confused with the code names... 10.3.x is not on the list, am I right?

[15:28] <ericb2> jsi_sun: you are

[15:28] <ericb2> FYI, 10.5 is broken with X11

[15:28] <ericb2> I got a strange breaker in sal

[15:28] <ericb2> Aqua is ok

[15:28] <jsi_sun> ericb2: thx 10.4. is the recent one and 10.5. will be the next, so we should support these both primarily

[15:28] <ericb2> jsi_sun: exactly

[15:29] <jsi_sun> Can someone give me a hint where a scroll problems in list boxes?

[15:29] * jsi_sun uses 10.4.x

[15:29] * ericb2 proposes an Action Item :

[15:29] <PhilippL> jsi_sun: open the font list box and try to use the wheel

[15:30] <jsi_sun> PhilippL: thx

[15:30] <ericb2> decide whether the list of the 15 proposed tasks can fit in aquavcl04 ?

[15:30] <PhilippL> jsi_sun: or click on font listbox, keep button pressed and move over popup ...

[15:30] <ericb2> jsi_sun: try inside and outside (slowly) ;-)

[15:31] <jsi_sun> PhilippL: works fine here?!

[15:31] <ericb2> jsi_sun: using m232 + aquavcl03 ?

[15:31] <PhilippL> ericb2: numer 2 issue 82259 is certainly not for aquavcl04. Unless someone has found a Cococa theming API.

[15:31] <IZBot> porting TASK NEW P3 Implement Cocoa controls (replace Carbon ) for Aqua version (Mac OS X) http://qa.openoffice.org/ issues/show_bug.cgi?id=82259

[15:31] <ericb2> PhilippL: sure

[15:31] <ericb2> PhilippL: sorry, not that one

[15:31] <jsi_sun> ericb2: It is from my point of view much more important to get basics of automated testing fixed asap otherwise we can not turn on the 24hrs/7days a week QA control...

[15:32] <ericb2> jsi_sun: what is still missing ? Maybe we can fix the issues for TT in priority, and continue after with the other ?

[15:32] <jsi_sun> ericb2: the aqua version is not paintung squares via TestTool and selections fails.

[15:32] <jsi_sun> ericb2: I will send you the issue list

[15:32] <ericb2> jsi_sun: thanks

[15:32] <jsi_sun> ericb2: yes

[15:33] <ericb2> Can we agree on: aquavcl04 content ?

[15:34] <ericb2> BTW, some other issues in the scope, are fixed in pj85

[15:34] * paveljanik (n=Pavel@unaffiliated/paveljanik) has joined #ooo_macport

[15:34] * ChanServ gives channel operator status to paveljanik

[15:36] <hdu_hh> ericb2: what do you suggest for aquavcl04?

[15:37] <ericb2> hdu_hh: they are several things to do. I already separated leopard compatibility and quicklook, mikesic created quicklook.

[15:37] <ericb2> hdu_hh: what I see urgent is in the list + what jsi suggested

[15:37] <hdu_hh> ericb2: how about the top15-i82259?

[15:38] <PhilippL> hdu_hh: so you found a cocoa theming API ? ;-)

[15:38] <hdu_hh> PhilippL: not yet ;-)

[15:39] <hdu_hh> PhilippL: that's why I wrote top15 without i82259

[15:39] <PhilippL> number 13 issue 77566 is fixed.

[15:39] <IZBot> porting DEFECT RESOLVED DUPLICATE P3 Almost unreadable font in DicoOOO http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/ show_bug.cgi?id=77566

[15:39] <ericb2> PhilippL: some are fixed

[15:39] <ericb2> PhilippL: do yo agree I fixed the toggle fullscreen function ?

[15:39] * hdu_hh thanks ekato for the patch that was the basis for that fix

[15:40] <ericb2> s/agree/confirm/

[15:40] <PhilippL> ericb2: I guess so.

[15:40] <ericb2> PhilippL: then there is one less to be fixed in the list

[15:40] <jsi_sun> ericb2: here are the imprtant list for TestTool on Aqua issue 82427, issue 81645

[15:40] <IZBot> utilities DEFECT NEW P3 testtool: AQUA: declare.bas is not useable http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi? id=81645

[15:41] <ericb2> jsi_sun: is it the reason why we have a red cell with the smoketestdoc ?

[15:41] <jsi_sun> ericb2: I have a green cell

[15:41] <ericb2> jsi_sun: mine is red for Base Open

[15:41] * hdu_hh hasn't seen the red cell for BaseOpen anywhere around here :-/

[15:41] <jsi_sun> jsi_sun: I get only a warning that there is a slot executing but tbo said that is known...

[15:42] * jsi_sun too

[15:42] * ericb2 thinks either issue 82329 is a serious issue or is not an issue

[15:42] * PhilippL wishes he had the blue cell ...

[15:42] <IZBot> porting DEFECT NEW P2 Instant crashes with m231 + aquavcl03 on PowerPC http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/ show_bug.cgi?id=82329

[15:42] * paveljanik has quit ("Leaving")

[15:43] <jsi_sun> ericb2: issue 82427 (come on IZbot)

[15:43] <IZBot> tools DEFECT NEW P2 Mac OS X (Aqua): Drawing function does not draw anything http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/

show_bug.cgi?id=82427

[15:43] <ericb2> hdu_hh: btw, when i try to draw with the draw toolbar in writer, nothing is drawn ?

[15:44] <PhilippL> ericb2: cannot confirm, at least the rectangle just worked.

[15:44] <ericb2> hdu_hh: occurs only in writer

[15:44] <ericb2> PhilippL: try the smiley

[15:44] <PhilippL> ericb2: confirm

[15:45] <PhilippL> ericb2: but this has the reek of a not mac specific problem.

[15:45] <ericb2> PhilippL: more precisely, some work, some not

[15:46] <ericb2> PhilippL: the issue is known ?

[15:46] <PhilippL> ericb2: not to me, but if drawing in general works, that is not mac specific.

[15:46] <PhilippL> ericb2: seems to be the autoshapes in general

[15:49] <PhilippL> ericb2: yes, sj says it's a known problem in 231.

[15:49] <ericb2> PhilippL: ok, then this is not aqua specific

[15:49] * ericb2 proposes, to fix the following issues in aquavcl04 :

[15:49] <ericb2> 81645, 82427, 82351, 78845, 82284, 77549, 82264, 82228 (fixed) , 81024, 82266, 77566 (fixed)

[15:49] <ericb2> + some other little to come

[15:50] <ericb2> and dedicate cws for :

[15:50] <ericb2> native printing, DnD , Cocoa controls

[15:51] <ericb2> and start with 81645 and 82427 in priority

[15:51] <ericb2> to have a working TT

[15:52] <rbircher> PhilippL, I have the same problem in m228

[15:53] <PhilippL> rbircher: interesting. However the problem does not seem to occur in the OOo 2.3 release, so probably was broken recently.

[15:54] <PhilippL> next point ?

[15:54] <ericb2> PhilippL: ok for the list of issues ?

[15:55] <rbircher> PhilippL, No, in the release 2.3.0 all works fine but m228 is after release

[15:55] * mikesic (n=mikesic@adsl-70-242-31-206.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net) has joined #ooo_macport

[15:55] * ChanServ gives channel operator status to mikesic

[15:55] <PhilippL> rbircher: exactly

[15:56] <rbircher> PhilippL, If you have the issue number I will write a comment

[15:57] <PhilippL> rbircher: sorry, don't have an issue number just talked to the developer.

[15:57] <ericb2> aquavcl04 is created. Please wait for m233 before to commit anything

[15:58] * divoe has quit ("Leaving")

[15:59] <ericb2> rbircher: the most simple: check on Planet for the last 2 or 3 days. I'm unsure, but probably the issue is inside

[16:00] <ericb2> Next point ?

[16:00] <ericb2> 4. Filename extensions *.cxx vs. *.mm consensus?

[16:00] <rbircher> ah ok, thenks ericb2

[16:01] <PhilippL> planet seems to be rather down ATM

[16:02] <PhilippL> mikesic and I agreed (I think) that the objective-c implementations should move to a new (.mm) file.

[16:02] * ericb2 see Michael Sicotte and PhilippL proposed a very intersting solution

[16:02] <ericb2> PhilippL: yes, seems to be a good idea

[16:03] <mikesic> PhilippL: yes, I agree

[16:03] * ericb2 has important questions in Misc .. please don't go

[16:04] <PhilippL> then I will do so as first thing in aquavcl04. This has the added advantage that we don't lose the history.

[16:04] <ericb2> PhilippL: indeed

[16:04] <PhilippL> next point ?

[16:05] <ericb2> 5. Frequency of chat meetings. Weekly, biweekly, other ideas? ...

[16:05] <ericb2> + Misc after

[16:06] * ericb2 votes for continue weekly IRC meetings

[16:06] <mikesic> +1

[16:07] <PhilippL> any preferences for a change in meeting time ?

[16:07] <PhilippL> or should we stay as is ?

[16:07] <mav_eric> hmm. I don't know. For me it's not a question of the day nor if weekly or not

[16:07] <mav_eric> it's more a question when the meeting starts :-)

[16:07] <mav_eric> as long as I'm unemployed 3 pm is fine but once I have work 6 or even 7 would be better suit

[16:07] <ericb2> PhilippL: fine for me ( I'm very busy every week before wednesday afternoon )

[16:08] <PhilippL> mav_eric: funny, for me it's the other way around :-)

[16:08] <mav_eric> PhilippL: :-) I guess we'll never find the perfect meeting time for all of us

[16:08] <PhilippL> certainly. I salute mikesic for getting up so early !

[16:09] * cloph_away is now known as cloph

[16:09] <PhilippL> just for this meeting I mean.

[16:09] <mav_eric> PhilippL: It's just that I had two job interviews where I could work with teenagers and they prefer worktime in the evening after school

[16:09] <mikesic> PhilippL: ;)

[16:10] <ericb2> can we conclude the point : no change ?

[16:10] <mikesic> +1

[16:10] <PhilippL> +1

[16:11] <mav_eric> +1 it's the best compromise for now

[16:11] <ericb2> +1

[16:11] <hdu_hh> +1

[16:11] <PhilippL> mav_eric: good luck for the job search.

[16:11] <ericb2> mav_eric: we cross the fingers for you ;-)

[16:12] <PhilippL> ericb2: so what's the urgent question ?

[16:12] <ericb2> PhilippL: I have several

[16:12] <ericb2> the firsrt one: it's time to provide a new development snapshot

[16:13] <ericb2> ok or not ok ?

[16:13] <mav_eric> ok - just let us do some basic qa before releasing it

[16:13] <PhilippL> yes, with m233 I think

[16:13] <ericb2> PhilippL: yes m233, or m229

[16:14] <ericb2> PhilippL: but some crashes are inside

[16:14] <mav_eric> i would favour m233

[16:14] <ericb2> mav_eric: me too

[16:14] <mav_eric> m229 wasn't bad but not that good either

[16:14] <ericb2> mav_eric: just wait and see how m233 does build

[16:15] <mav_eric> ericb2: I'm waiting for it to be ready :-) When it's ready I checkout and do a test build

[16:15] <ericb2> Other info :
