Current revision

This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 3.4. 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:

Contents

Builds

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 3.4 development builds. Perform a confirming checkout of the NeoOffice-3_3_branch branch and set the build to build with a new version and the NeoOffice trademarked product name.

This includes the following steps:

  • Do a cvs update -rNeoOffice-3_3_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_BASE=3.4
    PRODUCT_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION_BASE)
    PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION_BASE)
    PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION)
    PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION_BASE=3.3
    PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
    PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
    NEO_TAG:=NeoOffice-3_4
    
  • 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_4 tag and changing the following macros to the respective values:

    PRODUCT_COMPONENT_PATCH_MODULES=
    
  • Delete all build.neo_* files so that all custom NeoOffice code will be rebuilt.
  • Commit makefile changes and invoke make all to rebuild all applicable code and installers.
10/17/13plubyDone

Tag the code in the NeoOffice-3_3_branch branch with the NeoOffice-3_4 tag using the following steps:

  • Do a cvs update -rNeoOffice-3_3_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-3_4.
  • If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-3_4, and repeating the step.
10/17/13plubyDone

Create signed releasable NeoOffice 3.4 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 -rNeoOffice-3_3_branch -d and verify that none of the files are marked as updated, patched, modified, or have conflicts. If any such markings 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 diff -rNeoOffice-3_4 and verify that there are no differences for any of the files. If any differences 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.
  • 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 cp certs.neo.mk certs.mk ; make all to create the releasable installer and language packs. Note that by creating the certs.mk file, signing of the installer and the application will be enabled.
10/17/13plubyDone

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-3.4 directory outside of the workspace
  • Copy all 24 install/*.dmg files from your releasable build into the empty NeoOffice-3.4 directory and chmod 444 *.dmg in that directory

Put the NeoOffice-3.4 folder in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoOffice-3.4.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-3.4.cdr
10/17/13plubyDone

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

  • 10.6.8
  • 10.7.5
  • 10.8.5
  • 10.9
10/17/13plubyDone

Mirrors

NeoOffice's rsync server is hosted on rsync.neooffice.org. Downloads of the current release are restricted to paying users but the previous version is requires no payment 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 24 NeoOffice NeoOffice-3.4-*.dmg main installer and language pack files to the www-primary.neooffice.org server's /neojava/downloads/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/downloads/donordownloads directory
  • Invoke bin/setpermissions.sh so that the files will be readable by all mirrors' webservers
10/17/13plubyDone

Push NeoOffice 3.3 files to the free download mirrors using the following steps:

  • Copy the 31 NeoOffice-3.3-*.dmg main installer and language pack files to the rsync.neooffice.org server's /neojava/downloads directory from the www-primary.neooffice.org server's /neojava/downloads/donordownloads directory
  • Copy the NeoOffice-3.3-Patch-*.dmg patch file to the rsync.neooffice.org server's /neojava/downloads/patches directory from the www-primary.neooffice.org server's /neojava/downloads/donordownloads/patches directory
  • Invoke bin/setpermissions.sh on the rsync.neooffice.org server so that the copied files will be readable by all mirrors' webservers
10/17/13plubyDone

Website

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

Update the website's download cookie name and value in the www-test-primary.neooffice.org server's neojava directory.

Note: I used the following steps to do this:

  • Manually editing the download cookie name and value /neojava/donations/includes/config.php.
  • Manually edit the /neojava/downloads/donordownloads/.htaccess file and add a new RewriteCond line for the cookie. Do not remove any existing RewriteCond lines.
  • After you verify that the changes look correct, invoke the following command to commit your changes: bin/cvsplusperms.sh commit
  • Push the new download cookie name and value to the www.neooffice.org website by logging into the www.neooffice.org server, cd to the its webroot directory, and invoking the following command: bin/cvsplusperms.sh update -d.
10/18/13plubyDone
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_4 ; bin/cvsplusperms.sh update -rpre_NeoOffice-3_4 -d ; sudo chmod ug+x bin/*.sh ; bin/cvsplusperms.sh update -d 10/18/13plubyDone

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:

    $newproductdownloadenabled = false;
    $newproductminosxversion = '10.6';
    $newproductmaxosxversion = '10.9';
