Apple released an X11 update on 1 November 2006. It fixes a but that I commented about, regarding the cmd+tab and the X11 windows not coming forward. On the other hand there appears to be an issue with the fonts in that build. This seems to affect the current official release of OpenOffice.org on the… Continue reading Apple’s X11 update

Buildbot now seems to be predicting ETA
To my surprise, the build master is now estimating the time till the current build completes, and it is updating throughout the build too. Unfortunately it gives the time as the time zone PDT, thus you have to do some awkward calculation it get it to your local time zone. When building the CWSs, it… Continue reading Buildbot now seems to be predicting ETA
Mac buildbot setup
I now have a working buildbot that takes about 8 hours to do a full compile. Of course I forgot to check the option to upload the install set to the build master, so here I go and run the build again.

OOoCon2006 and Apple Expo
It was quite some trip to France, considering my rather minimal French knowledge. I survived even with the communication barrier. I also found it quite a tiresome journey too, especially with getting very little sleep on the coach overnight from Edinburgh to London. I sorted it out for the return by taking a fleece on… Continue reading OOoCon2006 and Apple Expo
Recent confusion of OpenOffice.org (X11)
From the mac@porting.openoffice.org mailing list, there seems to have been a bit of confusion with the title “OpenOffice.org for Mac (X11)”. It would appear that people are thinking the Mac OS 11 is what the download is for. In fact it just references the fact that the X11 windowing system. It would appear that this… Continue reading Recent confusion of OpenOffice.org (X11)
