This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 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
In this release, there is no change in the OpenOffice.org tag that we are using so this build is far simpler than the NeoOffice 2.2.1 Early Access build. However, we need to bundle the latest Akua icon set changes and updated Mac OS X Address Book resource files. These changes will mean that in this release, there will not be a patch that upgrades a NeoOffice 2.2.1 Early Access installation.
Task | Due Date | Assigned | Status |
Create NeoOffice-2_2_1_Early_Access_branch branch from the HEAD branch for NeoOffice 2.2.1 Early Access so that we can continue to do bug fixes and release Patches while we are working on this release. Note: After creating the branch, I invoked the following command in my NeoOffice 2.2.1 Early Access workspace to ensure that I don't accidently pull NeoOffice 2.2.1 changes into my build: cvs update -r NeoOffice-2_2_1_Early_Access_branch |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Perform a clean 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:
|
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Verify that ooo-build does not have a newer tag than the OOO_BUILD_2_2_1 tag. |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Verify that odf-converter does not have a newer tag than the word1.1-M1 tag. |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Perform a clean checkout and build of the HEAD branch on Mac OS X 10.4 Intel with gcc 4.0.1. Note: don't forget to copy custom.neo.mk file to custom.mk so that the clean checkout will build with the trademarked product name |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Perform a clean checkout and build of the HEAD branch on Mac OS X 10.4 PowerPC with gcc 3.3. Note: don't forget to copy custom.neo.mk file to custom.mk so that the clean checkout will build with the trademarked product name |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
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) |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
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. |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Modify and test bin/installutils script to treat NeoOffice 2.2.1 Early Access as a match. In this release, language pack resource files are incompatible so we want to preserve them in they exist. Note: I tested this code by building the installer, language packs, and patch installer and then doing the following steps:
|
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Commit and test updated icon files in etc/package.
|
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Get latest version of DicOOo.sxw and FontOOo.sxw files, replace all references to the Control key with the Command key, and commit files in etc/share/dict/ooo. Note: to do this task, do the following steps:
sh for i in `find /path/to/first/directory -name content.xml -o -name "Translation*.xml"`; do ( cat $i ; echo ) | tr '\r' '\n' > $i.tmp mv -f $i.tmp $i done sh for i in `find /path/to/first/directory -name content.xml -o -name "Translation*.xml"`; do cat $i | \ sed 's#\[CTRL\]#[Command]#g' | \ sed 's#\[Ctrl\]#[Command]#g' | \ sed 's#\[ctrl\]#[Command]#g' | \ sed 's#\[Strg\]#[Command]#g' | \ sed 's# CTRL #[Command]#g' | \ sed 's#\(Ctrl\)#[Command]#g' | \ sed 's#«Ctrl»#[Command]#g' | \ sed 's#OpenOffice\.org#NeoOffice#g' | \ sed 's#OpenOffice#NeoOffice#g' | \ sed 's#/NeoOfffice/#/OpenOffice.org/#g' > $i.tmp mv -f $i.tmp $i done sh cd /path/to/first/directory zip -r /path/to/etc/share/dict/ooo/DicOOo.sxw . |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Merge any NeoOffice 2.2.1 Early Access bug fixes committed to the NeoOffice-2_2_1_Early_Access_branch branch. |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Tag the code in the HEAD branch with the NeoOffice-2_2_1 and RetroOffice-2_2_1 tags. Note: Because the installer build checks out source code from the anoncvs.neooffice.org server, the following steps must be done to complete this task properly:
|
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Create releasable NeoOffice 2.2.1 and RetroOffice 2.2.1 builds for Intel. Note: the following steps are overkill, but they ensure that all recent changes to the NeoOffice custom code has been built:
|
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
Create releasable NeoOffice 2.2.1 and RetroOffice 2.2.1 builds for PowerPC. Note: Use the same steps as used for the matching Intel task. |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
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:
sftp all 58 files up to staging server and chmod 444 *.dmg all of the files on the staging server. diff the md5 *Intel.dmg | sort' output of the files on the server and in local NeoOffice-2.2.1 directory. Repeat the above steps using RetroOffice-2.2.1 instead of NeoOffice-2.2.1 and install_X11/*.dmg instead of install/*.dmg. Put the NeoOffice-2.2.1 and RetroOffice-2.2.1 folders in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoRetroOffice-2.2.1.cdr file of the new directory using the following command: hdiutil create -srcfolder /path/to/new/directory \ -format UDTO -ov -o /path/to/output/NeoRetroOffice-2.2.1.cdr |
08/16/07 | pluby | Done |
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 (except diff using md5 *PowerPC.dmg | sort'. |
