Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21680
Sources of xmerge .jars are missing in the OOo source tarball
Last modified: 2005-06-28 10:04:42 UTC
The OOo source tarball does not contain sources of the jars in oo_1.1_src/filter/source/jars/ . Please attach sources, unless such files are to be considered proprietary; in such case clarify under which license are released, otherwise attach sources (likely to be found in http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/index.html : xmerge_src.zip )
Confirmed.
reassigned
reset prio to 2, because this issue does it make not impossible to work with the product. mh->lo: do you see a chance to clarify why xmerge.jar is not build from source although there are available in OOo cvs ? do we need at least a README file in filter/source/jars for explanation of jar files in source tree and where do they come from ?
I've found various things in xmerge that get build in a non-standard way and are then reused in binaray form by some other projects. All these sources should be moved to the location where they realy belong and be build there in a conforming manner. Since projects maintained by various people depend on things from xmerge this can not be done in 1.1.1 timeframe. I hope to find a solution with all people that use things from xmerge for 1.1.2
there is still no time to clean out x merge project. in order to deliver all sources, we should just leave the jars where they are but add xmerge to the source tar-ball, so everyone knows what he/she is dealing with. Maybe we'll even find someone who is willing to get this to build in a clean way... Martin (MH), can you please add xml/xmerge to the OpenOffice alias so it get's into the source-tree for the tar-ball? Martin (mmaher), are you aware of any license implications that we should observe when adding xmerge to the source tar-ball (it's in CVS anyway, but just to be sure)
mmaher->lo: There should be no licensing issues if you want to put this in the source tarball
the xmerge alias will be available shortly (i28183).
xmerge sources will be included into source archive. real build integration for xmerge is still pending
I am setting this issue to resolved, as we will have the sources available. I will write another issue for fixing the build of xmerge though it is not yet clear when this can be done (and by whom)
