NeoOffice 2.2.3 Release Tasks
From NeoWiki
This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 2.2.3. 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 either the OpenOffice.org or ooo-build tag that we are using so this build is far simpler than the NeoOffice 2.2.2 build. Since we are updating the bundled icons, no upgrade patch will be released.
Task | Due Date | Assigned | Status |
Verify that ooo-build does not have a newer tag than the OOO_BUILD_2_2_1 tag. |
03/01/2008 | pluby | Done |
Verify that odf-converter does not have a newer tag than the Release-1.1 tag. |
03/05/2008 | pluby | Done |
Commit and test updated icon files in etc/package.

Rebuild all custom NeoOffice and RetroOffice code using the existing NeoOffice 2.2.2 Patch 11 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:
|
03/05/2008 | 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) |
03/06/2008 | 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. |

Modify and test bin/installutils script to treat all NeoOffice 2.2.x installations as a match. In this release, language pack resource files are compatible so we want to preserve them in they exist.

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. 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-2.2.3 instead of NeoOffice-2.2.3 and install_X11/*.dmg instead of install/*.dmg. Put the NeoOffice-2.2.3 and RetroOffice-2.2.3 folders in a new empty directory and create a CD master NeoRetroOffice-2.2.3.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-2.2.3.cdr |
