Current revision

This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 3.2.1. 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

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 3.2.1 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=$(PRODUCT_VERSION_BASE).1
    PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION_BASE).1
    PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION)
    PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
    PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
    NEO_TAG:=NeoOffice-3_2_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_2 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.
Donepluby08/25/2011

Tag the code in the HEAD branch with the NeoOffice-3_2_1 tag using 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.
  • Tag all files in your workspace by invoking cvs tag NeoOffice-3_2_1.
  • If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-3_2_1, and repeating the step.
Donepluby08/25/2011

Create releasable NeoOffice 3.2.1 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_2_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_* files. This will force the installer to rebuild 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.
Donepluby08/25/2011

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-3.2.1 directory outside of the workspace
  • Copy all 34 install/*.dmg files from your releasable build into the empty NeoOffice-3.2.1 directory and chmod 444 *.dmg in that directory

Put the NeoOffice-3.2.1 folder in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoOffice-3.2.1.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-3.2.1.cdr
Donepluby08/29/2011

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

  • 10.5.8
  • 10.6.8
  • 10.7.1
Donepluby08/25/2011

Mirrors

NeoOffice's rsync server is hosted on rsync.neooffice.org. Downloads of the current release are restricted to donors but the previous version is requires no donation to download. Our volunteer mirrors obtain the previous version's binaries by nightly runs of the following command on their mirrors:

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

Upload the 34 NeoOffice NeoOffice-3.2.1-*.dmg main installer and language pack files to the rsync.neooffice.org server's /neojava/donordownloads directory using the following steps:

  • Upload the files to your home directory on the server using the sftp command
  • Use the md5 command to verify that the MD5 checksums of the source file and the uploaded file are the same
  • Move the file from your home directory to the server's /neojava/donordownloads directory
  • Invoke bin/setpermissions.sh so that the files will be readable by all mirrors' webservers
Donepluby08/26/2011

Website

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus
Tag the www.neooffice.org website to avoid modifying production web pages while we modify the web pages in the test website by logging into the www.neooffice.org server, cd to the its webroot directory, and set the tag by invoking the following commands: bin/cvsplusperms.sh tag pre_NeoOffice-3_2_1 ; bin/cvsplusperms.sh update -rpre_NeoOffice-3_2_1 -d Donepluby08/26/2011

Update all NeoOffice and version names, file URLs, and patch version names in all of the files in the www-test-primary.neooffice.org server's neojava directory.

Note: I used the following steps to do this:

  • Manually edit the /neojava/includes/globals.php page and set the following variables to the following values and delete all but the zero'th element:
    $newproductdownloadenabled = false;
    $currentproductminosxversion = '10.5 Intel';
    $currentproductmaxosxversion = '10.7';
    $currentproductversion = '3.2.1';
    $currentproductfamily = array('3.2 Beta', '3.2', '3.2.1 Beta');
    $currentoooversion = '3.1.1';
    $currentpatch = '';
    
  • Manually edit all of the features.php pages in the /neojava directory and update the features in the NeoOffice 3.2.1 section.
  • Manually edit all of the header.php pages in the /neojava directory and update the text in the news banner section.
  • After you verify that the changes look correct, invoke the following command to commit your changes: bin/cvsplusperms.sh commit
Donepluby08/26/2011
Update the 34 NeoOffice 3.2.1 main installer and language pack file sizes and set the patch file size to 0 in the /neojava/includes/globals/newfilesizes.php file and if the changes look correct, invoke the following command to commit your changes: bin/cvsplusperms.sh commit Donepluby08/26/2011
Prepare the NeoOffice_3.2.1.html press release file, save it in the www-test-primary.neooffice.org website's /press_releases directory using the following naming format, bin/cvsplusperms.sh add the file, and invoke the following command to commit the new file: bin/cvsplusperms.sh commit Donepluby08/26/2011

Verify that patch checking works properly by doing the following steps in a NeoOffice 3.2.1 installation:

  • Test as NeoOffice 2.2.6 Patch 5 by opening the installation's Contents/MacOS/versionrc file, changing the UpdateURL line to the following, restarting NeoOffice, and selecting the Help :: Check for Updates menu. The dialog that appears should say that NeoOffice 3.2.1 is available:

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 last year using the following steps:

  • Login to PayPal, click on the History tab, click on Download My History link, select Custom Date Range, enter the date for a year ago in "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
