Re: [office-collab] Merge Enabled Change Tracking in Calligra
Hello Peter,

Thank you for your feed-back on MultiRacio's contribution.

I was able to build and install your branch of Calligra 4 on an Ubuntu 4.04 LTS environment and do some testing:

The undo.xml file could be found within and side of the ODF package. There was also a redo.xml file, but this was empty in my scenarios.

Adding and deletion of text and paragraph works fine. I believe styles have not been part of the supported feature set. 

Could you tell us more about your current feature set and I am curious if is likely that there is more to come in the future?

Nice work!

Best regards,

Svante

Dear SC,

I would like to announce our new development, namely the support of the Merge Enabled Change Tracking in the Calligra code.

The commit introducing the MCT component is accessible at

https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=calligra.git&a=commit&h=5ffcd8f2489ee781c62ecf7cb53a50982f5400d6

The component is still in the development stage, but it provides a starting point to further developments.

The code can be downloaded and built similarly to the other calligra software.

However, let me summarize here the main steps

To download the source code add the following text to your ~/.gitconfig:

    [url "git://anongit.kde.org/"]

        insteadOf = kde:

    [url "ssh:///"]

        pushInsteadOf = kde:

Then execute:

$ mkdir -p ~/kde4/src; mkdir -p ~/kde4/build/calligra; mkdir -p ~/kde4/inst

$ cd ~/kde4/src

$ git clone kde:calligra && cd calligra

$ git checkout calligra-mct-multiracio

sudo apt-get install qt-sdk kdelibs5-dev kdebase-runtime libpng-dev libeigen3-dev libxi-dev phonon-backend-gstreamer libboost-dev libboost-all-dev

exiv2 kde-style-oxygen

sudo apt-get build-dep kdelibs5-dev

cd ~/kde4/build/calligra

qtchooser -print-env

export QT_SELECT=4 // or give extra cmake params: -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4 -DQT_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/qt4

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kde4/inst $HOME/kde4/src/calligra -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugFull -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=0 -DBUILD_TESTS=0

-DPRODUCTSET="WORDS" -Wno-dev

make -j3

make install

cd ~/kde4/inst/bin && ./calligrawordsexport QT_SELECT=4

The MCT support can be started by the shortcut CTRL+M or from the settings menu.

Best regards,

Peter
