The Document Foundation (TDF) is the charitable entity behind the world’s leading free/libre open source (FLOSS) office suite LibreOffice. We are looking for an individual or company to implement an autoupdater for LibreOffice. Currently, LibreOffice can notify the user about a new version, but download and installation require manual action by the user, it is not automated. With plans of a “rolling release” model, that results in more frequent updates, e.g. biweekly or monthly, we want to improve this system. Mandatory requirements The solution has to work on all currently LibreOffice-supported Windows, Linux and macOS versions. The implemented solution should not break the MSI-based LibreOffice installation set. The implemented solution cannot solely rely on app stores autoupdaters, as The Document Foundation does not provide binaries in app stores currently. The work has to be developed on LibreOffice master, so that it will be released in the next major version. The implementation has to be provided with extensive documentation, about the approach chosen to implement the above items. We expect bidders to provide documentation on both the code and the non-code parts of the implementation, e.g. methodology, structure and technical aspects. Optional items The proposed solution might include some of the

The Document Foundation (TDF) is the charitable entity behind the world’s leading free/libre open source (FLOSS) office suite LibreOffice. We are looking for an individual or company to implement master document fixes. The documentation team regularly publishes guides and books. The underlying workflow requires to fix bugs and issues with the master document feature of Writer. The scope of this tender is to fix at least the following issues: ToC is never shown in Master Document if it is in ODT in a section with a hide condition https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103612 Exported PDF of master document with hidden sections containing headings shows headings anyway https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142129 Creating master document from *.odt breaks cross-references https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128106 TRACK CHANGES: linked files changes are not shown in the master document https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121166 The work has to be developed on LibreOffice master, so that it will be released in the next major version. The bugs must be fixed and verified. All technology standards of relevance, as well as their targeted versions for this tender should be declared or defined in the offer’s description of implementation. A key item of the deliverables for this tender and therefore also a decision criteria – besides qualification, references, price, and completeness of fullfilment

The Document Foundation (TDF) is the charitable entity behind the world’s leading free/libre open source (FLOSS) office suite LibreOffice. We are looking for an individual or company to implement automated ODF filter regression testing. The default file format of LibreOffice is ODF, the Open Document Format. From time to time, there are regression bugs reported towards these filters, that involve loss of data. The respective unit tests do not provide sufficient coverage to prevent these regressions to happen. The scope of this tender is: To implement an early warning system for such problems, to avoid them in the future and improve the overall quality of the software. As a recommended approach, we propose to use the ODFunDiff tool (https://git.libreoffice.org/odfundiff), which was developed specifically with the relevant functional and performance requirements in mind. Initial development of this tool was targetted towards LibreOffice 5.2/5.3, so updates to the code are likely necessary. Also, it may be necessary to fix some hypothetical additional non-determinism in LibreOffice, which was introduced in version 5.3 Extend the crashtest report scripts (e.g. this one) with an additional report about ODF differences, which were detected during the 27,000 ODF roundtrips. This test should use last run’s ODF files
