cairo canvas and starsymbol vs opensymbol

2018-03-03 Thread Yuri Dario
Hi,

while working at cairo graphics support for OS/2 (see #127723), I
discovered the existence of StarSymbol font: this font is used to
render bullets in Impress but while VCL uses OpenSymbol to render it,
cairo canvas uses StarSymbol which is normally not installed (even on
other platforms I see).

I suppose it is mapped somewhere but I can't find how/where.

Could you help?

TIA,

Yuri

Hi Yuri,

A quick search with OpenGrok give a lot of references to "StarSymbol":
http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/search?project=aoo-trunk&q=StarSymbol&defs=&refs=&path=%2Fmain&hist=&type=

I think that font was only installed with StarOffice...

You probably think of:

The nsis installer extracts and runs the MSVC runtime libraries installer 
before running the AOO installer. Since AOO is compiled with MSVC it requires 
these libraries are installed first. I don't know how TDF got rid of that step  
but possibly they are including the MSVC libraries needed in the program folder?


Maybe AOO can do the same and skip the nsis installer?

I can send you a ZIP of that directory. It should be complete as I have

Re: Status on 4.2.0?

2018-03-03 Thread Peter Kovacs
I think it is better to renew the installer completely. I have found a open 
source framework that simplifies the creation of the installer and builds the 
msi file for us.
It offers .net framework for writing a installer screens (MSI does not provide 
such a thing). The tutorials I have read looked pretty streight forward, at 
least for the standard installer stuff.

I think I read that you can include a dependance msi package in the msi package.
But I forgot again. I looked into msi a month ago. The last month has been 
quite intense for me.

We could deliver a single MSI file in future and even create the patch file 
from it.

I am currently unsure concerning the package signing, but once we have a pure 
MSI  setup it should be easy to add too, right?

​Just a short note on this. Thanks for putting in the effort on applying
the gstreamer update.

The last mention I saw about production environments indicate AOO was going
to CentOS 6.x for the next release. Unfortunately, I can not locate a
bonafide CentOS6.x  repo containing gstreamer 1.0 for use directly as part
of the indigenous build environment. So, it may need to be included in the
external downloaded libraries in /main/external_deps.lst.

No, NSIS just unpacks the files and calls setup.exe.
The MSI installer then installs MSVC runtime first before proceeding. ;-)

It looks like we were using the old API and Google decided that 
everybody should upgrade to the new one. Now, the old search snippet is 
stored somewhere in someone's Google account but that person is not me, 
so we can't just find the new code and use it.


On the other hand, I can probably fix the snippet and put it online.

What did the custom search do? Simply open a Google search limited to 
the Forum domain? Or did it do something else? My fear is that we will 
have to recreate it, but I'm not sure how it used to work. In the case 
this turns out to be the simplest option, will "a Google search limited 
to the forum domain" be enough as a re-implementation? This is probably 
a fairly straightforward configuration so it shouldn't take long if we 
fix it this way.

Yes, I think that the settings were explained in this post:

Building while SourceForge is down

2018-03-03 Thread Andrea Pescetti
As discussed in https://s.apache.org/sHGE we can't do a clean build 
while SourceForge is down, to to the fact that oooextras.mirror (where 
we keep some libraries) is unreachable.


I've created a temporary mirror with the files I had locally and with 
some more files (especially extensions) that Matthias provided.


In a completely clean build, you will need to:

1) Change your configure options as follows (to get dmake and epm):

./configure 
--with-dmake-url=http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/dmake-4.12.tar.bz2 
--with-epm-url=http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/epm-3.7.tar.gz 
...


2) Change the fallback URL in external_deps.lst as follows:

-OOO_EXTRAS=https://sourceforge.net/projects/oooextras.mirror/files/
+OOO_EXTRAS=http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/

3) Change URLs in extensions.lst as follows:

 # English dictionary
 [ language=en.* || language=de || language=it ]
-f4cb089a1101cc06e49d8bbb2886e5cf 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/aoo-extensions/files/17102/38/dict-en-20171101.oxt/download 
"dict-en.oxt"
+f4cb089a1101cc06e49d8bbb2886e5cf 
http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/oooextras.mirror/aoo-extensions/dict-en.oxt 
"dict-en.oxt"


Hopefully the SourceForge outage will be resolved soon, so the above 
changes are not worth committing.


Still, once SourceForge comes back we will want to implement a more 
complete backup plan, something like the following:


1. An emergency space on an ASF server (possibly password-protected 
while it is not in use) that mirrors oooextras.mirror and is regularly 
synchronized from it.


2. A refactoring of extensions.lst that makes it possible to switch URLs 
more easily


3. A mirror of all bundled extensions (not ALL extensions, just the ones 
we bundle), as a subset of the previous mirror


Hopefully, this will allow to build when SourceForge is down (hoping 
this means "never"!) by simply changing a couple lines.
