Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 90651
perl script for applying patches ...
Last modified: 2013-03-11 15:02:54 UTC
I attach the perl script we use for applying patches to ooo-build: it might be useful to have this included up-stream with a generic patching mechanism; the apply file syntax is fairly self explanatory. If this goes up-stream, it will require more work, to allow ooo-build to override patches, and (I think) layer a smaller apply file on top of this - but that shouldn't be too much work. Urgh - I guess we would also want a way to disable up-stream applied patches (out of our control) too. Anyhow, the apply file syntax looks a little like this: PATCHPATH=.:../evo2:../vba:../mono:../64bit:../cairo:../gstreamer:../ooxml:../postgresql:../emf+:../unittesting OLDEST_SUPPORTED=dev300-m14 # -------- Functional sub-sets -------- Common : PreprocessPatches, BuildBits, TemporaryHacks, FixesNotForUpstream, ... [ TemporaryHacks ] # build our stuff # FIXME: should be in the respective patches buildfix-no-UPD-in-library-names.diff, jholesov etc.

I'm adding this comment to all open issues with Issue Type == PATCH. We have 220 such issues, many of them quite old. I apologize for that. We need your help in prioritizing which patches should be integrated into our next release, Apache OpenOffice 4.0. If you have submitted a patch and think it is applicable for AOO 4.0, please respond with a comment to let us know. On the other hand, if the patch is no longer relevant, please let us know that as well. If you have any general questions or want to discuss this further, please send a note to our dev mailing list: dev@openoffice.apache.org Thanks! -Rob
