Hi,

The bibisect is only possible for Bugs which are reproducible under Linux,
if Linux has already been excluded (maybe bug history or comments will
contain required information) bibisecting will not be possible. But of
course, you can use bibisect to find out whether the bug is reproducible
under Linux. 

What is needed to prepare a Windows version? There are Windows tinderboxes
with daily builds of LO already (with new builds made twice a day even).
Repacking them as ready to go Windows installation by using PortableApps
technology would allow to do bibisecting on Windows without a hassle (if I
understand correctly it is a manual run exe-check exe-mark source process).
Am I missing something?

Not at all - it is even possible to generate a zipped installation, that
would be just unpacked, and checked into git; ie. nothing really hard to
do.  But nobody has done that yet - are you interested?

If yes: The best would be to modify the tinbuild2 to be able also to
commit the installation to a git repository, and push it to some
repository.  We wouldn't get the same granularity as a dedicated
bibisect build (with strict 64 commits interval), but still good enough,
considering that we usually have 40-100 commits a day.

The repository would have to be setup (on the server) to repack after
every push; but that is just a trivial hook.

The tinbuild2 is here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/buildbot/

You probably want to hack somewhere here:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/buildbot/tree/bin/tinbuild_phases.sh#n85

(making it part of the do_push() function).

All the best,
Kendy
