Hi,

there is some progress with that issue:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51004

Note: the situation on debian/ubuntu is really serious, because they are not shipping "somehow strange hacked mozilla version" at all.

You can find some funny comments on that 10 year old bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/93546
The last one is mine.

Any chance to address it in 3.7? The plan is (Fridrich, Stephan and Michael Stahl agreed upon and get blame if it goes wrong ;-)

1. Change the implementation on feature/mork branch to still depend on mozilla on windows. (Currently mozilla stripped there for all platforms completely).
2. Merge that feature branch to master (this week?).
3. Fix some minor issues.
4. Ask hackers to play with it (i have been told on IRC, that hackers only tend to play with some experimental features if they find it on master ;-) 4. Provide beta builds for QA Team to test it (the problem is that i don't really know what is still missing, besides todos that described in bz above).

We have one problem with that approach: other linux distros that are shipping mozilla mozab driver can experience less features or less quality with that new implementation. But ... no risk, no fun ;-)

Regards
David
