NeoOffice 2.2.4 Release Tasks

Verify that ooo-build does not have a newer tag than the OOO_BUILD_2_2_1 tag.

Verify that odf-converter does not have a newer tag than the Release-1.1 tag.

Verify that the build is using the latest version of the DicOOo.sxw and FontOOo.sxw files by selecting the following two NeoOffice menus and completely stepping through the wizards to ensure that no "there is a newer version" dialogs are displayed:

• File :: Wizards :: Install new dictionaries
• File :: Wizards :: Install fonts from the web

Modify and test bin/installutils.patch script to treat only NeoOffice 2.2.3 or higher installations as a match since there was no patch upgrade to the NeoOffice 2.2.3 release.

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice and RetroOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 2.2.3 Patch 6 test patch builds. Perform a confirming checkout of the HEAD branch and set build to build with a new version and NeoOffice and RetroOffice 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=2.2.4
  PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=2.2.4
  X11_PRODUCT_VERSION=2.2.4
  X11_PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=2.2.4
  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_4
  X11_NEO_TAG:=-rRetroOffice-2_2_4
  

• Delete all build.neo_* files so that all custom NeoOffice and RetroOffice code will be rebuilt.
• Commit makefile changes and invoke make all build.patch_package build.patch_package_X11 to rebuild all applicable code and installers.

Verify that none of the NeoOffice 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/MacOS
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)

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

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

Tag the code in the HEAD branch with the NeoOffice-2_2_4 and RetroOffice-2_2_4 tags 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.
• In the makefile, set the NEO_TAG macro to NEO_TAG:=-rNeoOffice-2_2_4 and X11_NEO_TAG macro to X11_NEO_TAG:=-rRetroOffice-2_2_4 and commit the makefile.
• Tag all files in your workspace by invoking cvs tag NeoOffice-2_2_4 ; cvs tag RetroOffice-2_2_4.
• If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-2_2_4 ; cvs tag -F RetroOffice-2_2_4, and repeating the previous two steps.

Create releasable NeoOffice 2.2.4 and RetroOffice 2.2.4 builds 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-2_2_4 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 build.patch_package build.patch_package_X11 to create the releasable installer, language packs, and patch installers.

Create releasable NeoOffice 2.2.4 and RetroOffice 2.2.4 builds for PowerPC.

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

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-2.2.4 directory outside of the workspace
• Copy all 58 install/*.dmg files from your releasable build into the empty NeoOffice-2.2.4 directory and chmod 444 *.dmg in that directory

sftp all 58 files up to staging server and chmod 444 *.dmg all of the files on the staging server.

sftp the patch installer file up to staging server and chmod 444 *.dmg all of the files on the staging server.

Repeat the above steps using RetroOffice-2.2.4 instead of NeoOffice-2.2.4 and install_X11/*.dmg instead of install/*.dmg.

Put the NeoOffice-2.2.4 and RetroOffice-2.2.4 folders in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoRetroOffice-2.2.4.cdr file of the new directory using the following command:

hdiutil create -srcfolder /path/to/new/directory \
-format UDTO -ov -o /path/to/output/NeoRetroOffice-2.2.4.cdr

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.

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

• 10.4.10
• 10.5.3

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

• 10.3.9
• 10.4.10
• 10.5.3

• Delete all NeoOffice-2.2.2-*.dmg files from the www.planamesa.org server.

Create a branch for the www.neooffice.org website to avoid modifying production web pages while we modify the web pages in the test website. Steps:

• Construct a local checkout of the website: cvs co www_htdocs
• cd into the checkout directory and tag the checkout by invoking the following command: cvs tag NeoRetroOffice-2_2_2_branch
• Login to the www.neooffice.org server, cd to the its webroot directory, and set the tag by invoking the following command: cvs update -d -rNeoRetroOffice-2_2_2_branch ; chmod -Rf ug+rw .htaccess *

Note: I used the following steps to do this:

• Update the version name, patch version, and file URLs by executing the following commands in the / directory of the web pages:

sh
for i in `find neojava retro -name "*.php" -o -name "header.html" | grep -v 'index\.php'`; do
sed 's#2\.2\.2#2.2.3#g' $i | \
sed 's#NeoOffice-2_2_2#NeoOffice-2_2_3#g' | \

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 the 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.
