Current revision

This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 3.1.1. 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:

Assigned but not yet due

Contents

Builds

In this release, the total size of the binaries that have bug fixes since we released NeoOffice 3.1.1 Beta is quite large. So, in order to make room available for any NeoOffice 3.1.1 patches, no upgrade patch will be released.

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

Commit and test updated icon files in your workspace's NeoOffice 3.1.1 etc/package directory.

  • cd etc/package
  • Execute the following shell script:
    #!/bin/csh
    #
    # execute within etc/package directory
    
    setenv PKGDIR `pwd`
    
    pushd ~
    curl -C - -O http://files.me.com/punto_mac/9qlzn8
    popd
    
    setenv VOL `hdiutil mount ~/9qlzn8 | perl -ne 'if ( /(\/Volumes.*)$/ ) { print $1; }'`
    if ( "$VOL" != "" ) then
            mkdir "Akua_2010Q1_Release"
            pushd "$VOL"
            cp -rf * "$PKGDIR/Akua_2010Q1_Release"
            popd
            pushd "Akua_2010Q1_Release"
            find . -type f -name \.\* -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 rm -f
            popd
    
            if ( -e AkuaIcons.zip ) then
                    rm AkuaIcons.zip
            endif
            zip -r AkuaIcons.zip "Akua_2010Q1_Release"
            hdiutil unmount "$VOL"
            rm -rf "Akua_2010Q1_Release"
    endif
    
  • Execute the following shell script:
    #!/bin/csh
    #
    # execute within etc/package directory
    
    setenv PKGDIR `pwd`
    
    pushd ~
    curl -C - -O http://www.pimley.net/projects/downloads/NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip
    popd
    
    mkdir "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 3"
    pushd "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 3"
    unzip ~/NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip
    find . -exec touch {} \;
    find . -type f -name \.\* -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 rm -f
    popd
    
    if ( -e NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip ) then
            rm NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip
    endif
    pushd "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 3"
    zip -r ../NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 3"
    popd
    rm -rf "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 3"
    
  • Rebuild NeoOffice installers with new icon zip files and verify proper build.
  • Reinstall both builds and check that updated icons are available.
04/20/2010plubyDone

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 3.1.1 Beta development builds. Perform a confirming checkout of the HEAD branch and set build to build with a new version and the NeoOffice trademarked product name.

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=3.1.1
    PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=3.1.1
    PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION)
    PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
    PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
    NEO_TAG:=-rNeoOffice-3_1_1
    
  • In makefile, reset the patch installer to include the minimum number of files by removing all files added to the build.patch_package_shared make target after the NeoOffice-3_1_1_Beta tag and changing the following macros to the respective values:

    PRODUCT_COMPONENT_PATCH_MODULES=
    
  • 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.
04/30/2010plubyDone

Tag the code in the HEAD branch with the NeoOffice-3_1_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_1_1.
  • If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-3_1_1, and repeating the step.
05/05/2010plubyDone

Create releasable NeoOffice 3.1.1 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_1_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 all build.neo_* and build.odf-converter* files. This will force the installer to rebuild the odf-converter code and all of the NeoOffice custom code without causing any of the OpenOffice.org or ooo-build code to be rebuilt.
  • Invoke make all to create the releasable installer and language packs.
05/05/2010plubyDone

Create releasable NeoOffice 3.1.1 build for PowerPC.

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

05/05/2010plubyDone

Create backup copy of releasable Intel binaries and upload them to staging server.

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

  • Create an empty NeoOffice-3_1_1 directory outside of the workspace
  • Copy all 34 install/*.dmg files from your releasable build into the empty NeoOffice-3.1.1 directory and chmod 444 *.dmg in that directory

Put the NeoOffice-3.1.1 folder in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoOffice-3.1.1.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-3.1.1.cdr
05/09/2010plubyDone

Create backup copy of releasable PowerPC binaries and upload them to staging server.

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

05/09/2010plubyDone

Verify that the releasable installer and one or more language packs install and run on Intel for the following Mac OS X versions:

  • 10.4.11
  • 10.5.8
  • 10.6.3

Mirrors for Early Access Program Release

NeoOffice's rsync server is hosted on rsync.neooffice.org and our volunteer mirrors obtain the NeoOffice binaries by nightly runs of the following command on their mirrors:

rsync --archive --delete rsync://rsync.neooffice.org/neojavadownloads/ \
/path/to/NeoOffice/mirror/directory

Note that the NeoOffice 3.1.1 Beta main installer binaries are only mirrored on neooffice.org servers so using the above command will only copy the language pack installers until near the end of the current NeoOffice Early Access Program on 11 May 2010.
