This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 3.0.1. This page is by no means comprehensive, but hopefully as we work through the release process, we will leave behind enough details to make future releases simpler and less error prone.

Here is what the colors mean:

Builds

In this release, while we are not making changes to NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code or adding any new application or toolbar icons, the size of the last NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access test patch too large for a new release so no upgrade patch will be released.

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access development builds. Perform a confirming checkout of the HEAD branch and set build to build with a new version and the NeoOffice trademarked product names.

This includes the following steps:

  • Do a cvs update -Ad to ensure that you have the latest code in your workspace, verify that none of the files are marked as updated, patched, modified, or have conflicts, and verify that the latest code actually builds through the installer.
  • Copy custom.neo.mk file to custom.mk so that the clean checkout will build with the trademarked product names.
  • In makefile, change the following macros to the respective values:

    PRODUCT_VERSION=3.0.1
    PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=3.0.1
    PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION)
    PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
    PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
    NEO_TAG:=-rNeoOffice-3_0_1
    
  • Delete all build.neo_* files so that all custom NeoOffice and RetroOffice code will be rebuilt.
  • Commit makefile changes and invoke make all to rebuild all applicable code and installers.
10/14/2009plubyDone

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 2.2.6 Early Access development builds. Perform a confirming checkout of the NeoOffice-2_2_6_branch branch and set build to build with a new version and the NeoOffice trademarked product names.

This includes the following steps:

  • Do a cvs update -rNeoOffice-2_2_6_branch branch -d to ensure that you have the latest code in your workspace, verify that none of the files are marked as updated, patched, modified, or have conflicts, and verify that the latest code actually builds through the installer.
  • Copy custom.neo.mk file to custom.mk so that the clean checkout will build with the trademarked product names.
  • In makefile, change the following macros to the respective values:

    PRODUCT_VERSION=2.2.6
    PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=2.2.6
    PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION)
    X11_PRODUCT_VERSION=2.2.6
    X11_PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=2.2.6
    X11_PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$(X11_PRODUCT_VERSION)
    PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
    PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
    X11_PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
    X11_PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
    NEO_TAG:=-rNeoOffice-2_2_6
    X11_NEO_TAG:=
    
  • Delete all build.neo_* files so that all custom NeoOffice and RetroOffice code will be rebuilt.
  • Commit makefile changes and invoke make all to rebuild all applicable code and installers.
10/14/2009plubyDone

Verify that none of the NeoOffice 3.0.1 Intel build's executables or libraries link to any X11 libraries.

Note: to do this task, install your latest NeoOffice build and, in a terminal, execute the following commands:

sh
cd /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents
for i in `find . -type f`; do echo $i ; otool -L $i 2>&1 | grep X11; done

If none of the binaries link to any X11 libraries, the above commands will only print a list of files. However, if you see any lines that look similar to the following, the file listed just before this type of line is linked to an X11 library and this must be correct before the NeoOffice binaries can be released.

/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (compatibility version 6.2.0, current version 6.2.0)
10/15/2009plubyDone

Verify that none of the NeoOffice 3.0.1 PowerPC build's executables or libraries link to any X11 libraries.

Note: Use the same steps as used for the matching Intel task.

10/15/2009plubyDone

Verify that none of the NeoOffice 2.2.6 PowerPC build's executables or libraries link to any X11 libraries.

Note: Use the same steps as used for the matching NeoOffice 3.0.1 Intel task.

10/15/2009plubyDone

Verify that none of the NeoOffice 2.2.6 PowerPC build's executables or libraries link to any X11 libraries.

Note: Use the same steps as used for the matching Intel task.

10/15/2009plubyDone

Tag the code in the HEAD branch with the NeoOffice-3_0_1 tag using the following:

  • Do a cvs update -Ad to ensure that you have the latest code in your workspace, verify that none of the files are marked as updated, patched, modified, or have conflicts, and verify that the latest code actually builds through the installer.
  • Tag all files in your workspace by invoking cvs tag NeoOffice-3_0_1.
  • If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-3_0_1, and repeating the step.
10/14/2009plubyDone

Tag the code in the NeoOffice-2_2_6_branch branch with the NeoOffice-2_2_6 tag using the following:

  • Do a cvs update -rNeoOffice-2_2_6_branch -d to ensure that you have the latest code in your workspace, verify that none of the files are marked as updated, patched, modified, or have conflicts, and verify that the latest code actually builds through the installer.
  • Tag all files in your workspace by invoking cvs tag NeoOffice-2_2_6.
  • If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-2_2_6, and repeating the step.
10/14/2009plubyDone

Create releasable NeoOffice 3.0.1 build for Intel.

Note: the following steps are overkill, but they ensure that all recent changes to the NeoOffice custom code has been built:

  • Do a cvs update -d -rNeoOffice-3_0_1 and verify that none of the files are marked as updated, patched, modified, or have conflicts. If any such errors appear, the previous task (tagging of the workspace) has not been done properly and it needs to done properly before you can proceed with this task.
  • Do a cvs update -Ad so that you can do bug fixing and release patches after you create your releasable build
  • Delete the build.package file. This will force the installer and language packs to be rebuilt without causing any of the code to be rebuilt.
  • Invoke make all to create the releasable installer and language packs.

The following steps are the steps that I used to create my backup copy:

  • Create an empty NeoOffice-3.0.1 directory outside of the workspace
  • Copy all 59 install/*.dmg files from your releasable build into the empty NeoOffice-3.0.1 directory and chmod 444 *.dmg in that directory

Put the NeoOffice-3.0.1 folder in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoOffice-3.0.1.cdr file of the new directory using the following command:

hdiutil create -srcfolder /path/to/new/directory \
-format UDTO -ov -o /path/to/output/NeoOffice-3.0.1.cdr

Release

Generally, we try to time the release when it is early morning of the release date in New Zealand which is the most populous country closest to the international date line. So for this release, 27 October 2009 translates to the afternoon on 26 October 2009 in California.

Create a new category in the donations database that has a start date and time that is a few hours before the planned release time to ensure that donors who donate after we make the NeoOffice 3.0.1 binaries downloadable get their donation credited to the next Early Access Program using the following steps:

    ./manage_categories.php -a
    
  • Set the category_name to Next Planned NeoOffice Early Access Program Membership, the mc_gross_USD amount to the same amount that was used for the current NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access Program Membership category, the other mc_gross_* amounts to the exchange rate used by the trinity.neooffice.org website, start_date to 2009-10-26, end date to 2010-12-31, and enabled to 1
  • Run the command again and set the category_name to Next Planned NeoOffice 3.x Early Access Program Subscription, the mc_gross_USD amount to the same amount that were used for the current NeoOffice 3.x Early Access Program Subscription category, the other mc_gross_* amounts to the exchange rate used by the trinity.neooffice.org website, start_date to 2009-10-26, end date to 2010-12-31, and enabled to 1

Synchronize the donation's database to PayPal's database to ensure that none of the donors' transactions are missing and to pick up any e-mail address changes made by donors during the Early Access period using the following steps:

  • Login to PayPal, click on the History tab, click on Download My History link, select Custom Date Range, enter one year and one day before the start of the Early Access period as the "From" date and the current date as the "To" date, and "Comma Delimited - All Activity" as the "File Types to Download".
  • It will take some time for PayPal to prepare the file. Once the file is ready, download it and use sftp to copy it to the www.neooffice.org server. Note: be sure to delete your local copy.
  • Once the history file is on the www.neooffice.org server, login to the server, cd to the /donationsadmin directory, and execute the following command to import the history file:
    sh
    ./import_paypal_transaction_history.php /path/to/history/file 2>/path/to/error/file
    
  • Inspect the entries in the error file created in the previous command and verify that none of the rejected lines from the file are donor transactions.
