NeoOffice 3.0.2 Release Tasks

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access 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=3.0.2
  PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=3.0.2
  PREVIOUS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$(PRODUCT_VERSION)
  PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
  PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
  NEO_TAG:=-rNeoOffice-3_0_2
  

• 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_0_2_Early_Access 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.

Tag the code in the HEAD branch with the NeoOffice-3_0_2 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_0_2.
• If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-3_0_2, and repeating the step.

Create releasable NeoOffice 3.0.2 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_0_2 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.

Create releasable NeoOffice 3.0.2 build for PowerPC.

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

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

• Create an empty NeoOffice-3.0.2 directory outside of the workspace
• Copy all 59 install/*.dmg files from your releasable build into the empty NeoOffice-3.0.2 directory and chmod 444 *.dmg in that directory

Put the NeoOffice-3.0 folder in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoOffice-3.0.2.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-3.0.2.cdr
