Last weekend, Martin Kretzschmar, Rene Engelhardt and I met in Berlin to work on OpenOffice.org packages. The focus of the sprint was on addressing issues having an impact on good usability and which still had a chance to make into the current packages for dapper. Most of the results are now available in the archive, packaged as version 2.0.2-1ubuntu3 (not on the flight-5 CD). For bug reports, please use the appropriate bug tracking system, do not discuss bugs on the lists or forums. - The packages are based on the upstream version 2.0.2, released last week. Compared to the OOo version found in breezy, many issues were addressed by upstream and ooo-build developers. Thanks! - Scanning the Ubuntu bug tracking system, about 2/3 of the 240 open reports could be closed on the weekend and the following week. Reproducible reports were forwarded upstream, and about a dozen fixed on the weekend. Some bug reports found in both the Debian and the Ubuntu bug tracker were addressed as well, although we were running out of time ... - The size of the openoffice.org-l10n packages could be reduced to 20%-70% of the previous size by eliminating duplicate files (most of it untranslated template documents). So hopefully we can ship more localization data on the CD's. - The upstream test tools are now available (and installable) in the archive. These tools allow doing a quick check, starting all OOo applications (install the openoffice.org-qa-tools package, and run oosmoketest). The README.qa describes what can be done with the other 50MB of test scripts and data. Thanks Martin for packaging these tools. This week we got lot of feedback from the Ubuntu L10n sprint, and some testing done for asian locales. Outstanding is still additional packaging of dictionaries and hyphenation patterns. The problems with these data is tracking down the correct licenses of this data and then see if we can include it in our archives. Overall a nice step forward towards more usable packages, so I hope we are able to repeat such a short sprint in summer/autumn.
