This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 3.0.1. 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, while we are not making changes to NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code or adding any new application or toolbar icons, the size of the last NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access test patch too large for a new release so no upgrade patch will be released.
Task | Date Completed | Assigned | Status |
Rebuild all custom NeoOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 3.0.1 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 names. This includes the following steps:

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) |

Mirrors for Early Access Program Release
NeoOffice's rsync server is hosted on rsync.neooffice.org and our volunteer mirrors obtain the NeoOffice binaries by nightly runs of the following command on their mirrors:
rsync --archive --delete rsync://rsync.neooffice.org/neojavadownloads/ \ /path/to/NeoOffice/mirror/directory
Note that the NeoOffice Early Access Program main installer binaries are only mirrored on neooffice.org servers so using the above command will only copy the language pack installers until near the end of the current NeoOffice Early Access Program on 27 October 2009.

Note that since we already mirrored the language pack installers, we only need to mirror the main installers.
