NeoOffice 2.1 Release Tasks

Create NeoOffice-2_1_Early_Access_branch branch from the HEAD branch for NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access so that we can continue to do bug fixes and release Patches while we aer working on this release.

Note: After creating the branch, I invoked the following command in my NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access workspace to ensure that I don't accidently pull NeoOffice 2.1 changes into my build: cvs update -r NeoOffice-2_1_Early_Access_branch

Perform a clean checkout of the HEAD branch and set build to build with a new version and NeoOffice trademarked product name.

This includes the following steps:

• Perform a clean checkout of the HEAD branch
• Copy custom.neo.mk file to custom.mk so that the clean checkout will build with the trademarked product name

• In makefile, change the following macros to the respective values:

  PRODUCT_VERSION=2.1
  PRODUCT_DIR_VERSION=2.1
  PRODUCT_PATCH_VERSION=Patch 0
  PRODUCT_DIR_PATCH_VERSION=Patch-0
  NEO_TAG:=-rHEAD
  

• In this release, there will not be a patch that upgrades a NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access installation so reduce the size of future patches by removing any libraries other than libvcl*.dylib from the build.patch_package target in the makefile
• Commit makefile changes and invoke make build.oo_checkout to checkout the OpenOffice.org code

Upgrade the build to use ooo-build's newer OOO_BUILD_2_1_7 tag.

TODO: Fill in detail steps that I performed

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

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

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

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

Done

No X11 Dependencies

Modify and test bin/installutils* sripts to not treat NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access as a match.

In this release, we do not want the installer to preserve the Early Access language pack resource files as some are incompatible with this build and will show as blank text. Also, we don't want the language pack or patch installer to upgrade an Early Access installation as it corrupt that installation.

Note: I tested this code by building the installer, language packs, and patch installer and then doing the following steps:

• Install the patch installer and verify that it does not upgrade my NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access installation.
• Install a NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access language pack, change my machine's preferred language to match the installed language pack, run NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access, and verify that the menus are not English.
• With the same preferred language set in the previous step, install NeoOffice 2.1, and verify that the menus are in English.
• Install a NeoOffice 2.1 language pack, change my machine's preferred language to match the installed language pack, run NeoOffice 2.1, and verify that the menus are not in English and verify that bug 2201 no longer occurs.

Change the order in the makefile in which icon files in etc/package are added to the installer's share/config/images*.zip files etc/package in the following sequence:

• Apply etc/package/neo2toolbarv10.zip to all share/config/images*.zip files.
• Apply images/svx and images/svtools files in the etc/package/NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip to only the share/config/images.zip file
• Apply any images/svx and images/svtools files in the etc/package/NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip file that also exist in the etc/package/neo2toolbarv10.zip to all of the share/config/images*.zip files except share/config/images.zip.
• Apply images/svx and images/svtools files in the etc/package/AkuaIcons.zip to only the share/config/images.zip file
• Apply any images/svx and images/svtools files in the etc/package/AkuaIcons.zip file that also exist in the etc/package/neo2toolbarv10.zip to all of the share/config/images*.zip files except share/config/images.zip.

Commit and test updated icon files in etc/package.

• cd etc/package
• Execute the following shell script:

  #!/bin/csh
  #
  # execute within etc/package directory
  
  setenv PKGDIR `pwd`
  
  pushd ~
  curl -C - -O http://homepage.mac.com/punto_mac/projects/neo/downloads/Akua_March_Release.dmg
  popd
  
  setenv VOL `hdiutil mount ~/Akua_March_Release.dmg | perl -ne 'if ( /(\/Volumes.*)$/ ) { print $1; }'`
  if ( "$VOL" != "" ) then
  	mkdir "Akua Beta Release"
  	pushd "$VOL"
  	cp -rf * "$PKGDIR/Akua Beta Release"
  	popd
  	pushd "Akua Beta Release"
  	find . -type f -name \.\* -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 rm -f
  	popd
  	
  	if ( -e AkuaIcons.zip ) then
  		rm AkuaIcons.zip
  	endif
  	zip -r AkuaIcons.zip "Akua Beta Release"
  	hdiutil unmount "$VOL"
  	rm -rf "Akua Beta Release"
  endif
  
  setenv VOL ""
  
  pushd ~
  curl -C - -O http://www.pimley.net/projects/downloads/NeoOfficeAquaElements.dmg
  popd
  
  setenv VOL `hdiutil mount ~/NeoOfficeAquaElements.dmg | perl -ne 'if ( /(\/Volumes.*)$/ ) { print $1; }'`
  if ( "$VOL" != "" ) then
  	mkdir "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 2.1.020211"
  	pushd "$VOL"
  	cp -rf * "$PKGDIR/NeoOffice Aqua Elements 2.1.020211"
  	popd
  	pushd "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 2.1.020211"
  	find . -type f -name \.\* -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 rm -f
  	popd
  	
  	if ( -e NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip ) then
  		rm NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip
  	endif
  	zip -r NeoOfficeAquaElements.zip "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 2.1.020211"
  	hdiutil unmount "$VOL"
  	rm -rf "NeoOffice Aqua Elements 2.1.020211"
  endif
  

• Rebuild installer with new icon zip files and verify proper build.
• Reinstall and check that updated icons are available.

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:

• Download the latest DicOOo.sxw file from here
• Create a new directory and in that directory, unzip the downloaded file using the zip command.
• Change all of the Windows carriage returns in the unzipped files to Unix newlines and ensure that the files end with a Unix newline by executing the following command:

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

• Replace all known references to the Control key with the Command key and replace OpenOffice.org with NeoOffice in the first directory by executing the following command:

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

• Replace the etc/share/dict/ooo/DicOOo.sxw file by executing the following commands:

sh
cd /path/to/first/directory
zip -r /path/to/etc/share/dict/ooo/DicOOo.sxw .

• Copy your etc/share/dict/ooo/DicOOo.sxw into your latest NeoOffice installation and run the wizard to verify that the modified file actually works and that the text has been properly changed before commiting the modified file.
• Download the latest FontOOo.sxw file from here and repeat the above steps by replacing "DicOOo" with "FontOOo".

Merge any NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access bug fixes committed to the NeoOffice-2_1_Early_Access_branch branch.

Note: As of 03/15/2007, I have already merged the fixes included in NeoOffice 2.1 Early Access Patch 2 Test 1. On 03/17/2007 I refixed bug 1971 in vcl module.

Tag the code in the HEAD branch with the NeoOffice-2_1 tag.

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:

• 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_1 and commit the makefile.
• Tag all files in your workspace by invoking cvs tag NeoOffice-2_1.
• On the cvs.neooffice.org server, run the script to synchronize the anoncvs.neooffice.org server.
• Verify that the installer still builds by deleting the build.source_zip file and invoking make NOLANGPACKS=true.
• If there are any build errors, fix and commit them, retag the changed files by invoking cvs tag -F NeoOffice-2_1, and repeating the previous two steps.

Create releasable NeoOffice 2.1 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-2_1 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 to create the releasable installer and language packs.

Create releasable NeoOffice 2.1 build 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-2.1 directory outside of the workspace
• Copy all 58 install/*.dmg files from your releasable build into the empty NeoOffice-2.1 directory and chmod 444 *.dmg in that directory
• Create a CD master NeoOffice.cdr file of the NeoOffice-2.1 directory using the following command:

hdiutil create -srcfolder /path/to/NeoOffice-2.1/directory \
-format UDTO -ov -o /path/to/output/NeoOffice-2.1

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

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

• 10.4.9
• 1 March 2007 10.5.0 developer seed

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

• 10.3.9
• 10.4.9
• 1 March 2007 10.5.0 developer seed

Since we are dropping support of NeoOffice 1.2.2 and no longer doing CD sales, remove all pages and links to these in the download.neooffice.org website.

Note: here are the overall changes that I made:

• cvs remove all files having the name old* or *cd*.
• Delete all links to the pages deleted in the last step found using the following commands:

grep -r '<a href=".*cd.*">' *
grep -r '<a href="old.*">' *

• Commit the changes and cvs update -Ad on both of the www.planamesa.com and www.neooffice.org servers.
• Remove any invocations of the bin/shuffle.sh script against any of the deleted files using crontab -e on both servers.

Create 2.1 Early Access Branch. This branches the existing website to avoid modifying existing website while it is live. Steps:

• Construct a local checkout of the website: cvs co web/src/www.
• cvs tag -b NeoOffice-2_1_Early_Access_branch web/src/www
• Login to download.planamesa.com
• cd www
• cvs update -d -rNeoOffice-2_1_Early_Access_branch
• Login to hotspare www.neooffice.org
• cd /var/www/htdocs/download_root/
• cvs update -d -rNeoOffice-2_1_Early_Access_branch

Migrate mirror rotation cron job to independent user account on hanuman

• Construct cron job user account on hanuman
• Migrate mirror rotation crontab to cron job account
• Remove old user account crontab entry

Change all reference to NeoOffice Early Access in website to NeoOffice

Copy all the earlyaccess*.php pages to their matching *.php page if one exists.

After copying, change all "earlyaccess" hrefs in the copied pages to their matching page

Lastly, in the download.php pages, replace the copied <a name="download"> section with the old text.

Remove NeoOffice 1.2.2 binaries from mirrors after completing the removal of the links NeoOffice 1.2.2 download pages from the download.neooffice.org website (see Website section on this page for that task).

Note: the following steps were used to complete this task:

• Delete all *1.2.2*.dmg files from both of the www.planamesa.net and www.planamesa.org servers.
• Contact the rsync server maintainer and have them delete all *1.2.2*.dmg files on the rsync server.
• After the files have been deleted from the rsync server, wait 48 hours and verify that these files have been deleted from the mirrors listed in the download.neooffice.org website's neojava/mirrors.php file.
• Contact any mirror maintainers that still have these files to confirm that they are rsynching to the rsync server regularly.
