Hi Pedro, I'm not member of the infra team, but I have some experience in buildbot configuration.

As such, I provide a free license of Simian for non-commercial and open source use." Did you run this tool on the openoffice code already? Do you have examples of the resulting report you'd like to get out of it? This tool has some requirements (Java or .NET at least) and needs some configuration. Maybe you want to run multiple passes, one for the C++ code, one for the Java parts? I'm sure infra will be quick to help you out if you already have run this tool on the openoffice code yourself, can describe the dependencies and (preferably) provide them a script that sets up all parameters correctly. > best regards, > > Pedro. > [..] hth, Lieven
