Current revision

This page is an attempt to document all of the tasks required to release NeoOffice 3.0.2. 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:

Assigned but not yet due

Contents

Builds

In this release, the total size of the binaries that have bug fixes since we released NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access is quite large. So, in order to make room available for any NeoOffice 3.0.2 patches, no upgrade patch will be released.

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

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.
01/18/2009plubyDone

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.
01/27/2009plubyDone

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.
01/27/2009plubyDone

Create releasable NeoOffice 3.0.2 build for PowerPC.

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

01/27/2009plubyDone

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-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
01/27/2009plubyDone

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.

01/27/2009plubyDone

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

  • 10.4.11
  • 10.5.8
  • 10.6.2
01/27/2009plubyDone

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

  • 10.4.11
  • 10.5.8
01/27/2009plubyDone

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 2 February 2010.

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

Upload the 2 main installer NeoOffice-3.0.2-*.dmg files to the rsync.neooffice.org server's /neojava/earlyaccessdownloads directory using the following steps:

  • Upload the files to your home directory on the server using the sftp command
  • Use the md5 command to verify that the MD5 checksums of the source file and the uploaded file are the same
  • Move the file from your home directory to the server's /neojava/earlyaccessdownloads directory
  • Invoke bin/setpermissions.sh so that the files will be readable by all mirrors' webservers
1/27/2010plubyDone

Upload the 116 NeoOffice language pack installer NeoOffice-3.0.2-Language_Pack_*.dmg files to the rsync.neooffice.org server's /neojava/downloads directory using the following steps:

  • Upload the files to your home directory on the server using the sftp command
  • Use the md5 command to verify that the MD5 checksums of the source file and the uploaded file are the same
  • Move the file from your home directory to the server's /neojava/downloads directory
  • Invoke bin/setpermissions.sh so that the files will be readable by all mirrors' webservers
1/20/2010plubyDone

Mirrors

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

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus

Copy the 2 main installer NeoOffice-3.0.2-*.dmg files to the rsync.neooffice.org server's /neojava/downloads directory using the following steps:

  • Copy the files to your home directory from the server's /neojava/earlyaccessdownloads directory
  • Use the md5 command to verify that the MD5 checksums of the source file and the copied file are the same
  • Move the file from your home directory to the server's /neojava/downloads directory
  • Invoke bin/setpermissions.sh so that the files will be readable by all mirrors' webservers
01/29/2010plubyDone

Website for Early Access Program Release

TaskDate CompletedAssignedStatus
Tag the www.neooffice.org website to avoid modifying production web pages while we modify the web pages in the test website by logging into the www.neooffice.org server, cd to the its webroot directory, and set the tag by invoking the following commands: bin/cvsplusperms.sh tag NeoOffice-3_0_2_Early_Access_2 ; bin/cvsplusperms.sh update -rNeoOffice-3_0_2_Early_Access_2 -d 1/19/2010plubyDone

Update all NeoOffice and version names, file URLs, and patch version names in all of the files in the www-test.neooffice.org server's neojava directory.

Note: I used the following steps to do this:

  • Manually edit the /neojava/includes/globals.php page and set the following variables to the following values:
  • $earlyaccessdownloadenabled = true;
    $earlyaccessredirectenabled = false;
    $earlyaccessfreeproduct = 'NeoOffice 3.0.2';
    $earlyaccessproductversion = '3.0.2';
    $earlyaccessproductfamily[0] = '3.0.2 Early Access';
    $earlyaccesspatch = '';
    
  • After you verify that the changes look correct, invoke the following command to commit your changes: bin/cvsplusperms.sh commit
1/19/2010plubyDone
Update the NeoOffice 3.0.2 main installer and language pack file sizes and set the 2 patch file sizes to 0 in the /neojava/includes/globals/earlyaccessfilesizes.php file and if the changes look correct, invoke the following command to commit your changes: bin/cvsplusperms.sh commit 1/27/2010plubyDone

Verify that patch checking works properly by doing the following steps in a NeoOffice 3.0.2 installation:

  • Test as NeoOffice 3.0.1 Patch 3 by opening the installation's Contents/MacOS/versionrc file, changing the UpdateURL line to the following, restarting NeoOffice, and selecting the Help :: Check for Updates menu. The dialog that appears should say that NeoOffice is up to date:
    UpdateURL=http://www-test.neooffice.org/neojava/patchcheck.php?product=NeoOffice%203.0.1&patch=Patch%203&os=${_OS}&arch=${_ARCH}
  • Test as NeoOffice 3.0.2 Early Access Patch 0 by opening the installation's Contents/MacOS/versionrc file, changing the UpdateURL line to the following, restarting NeoOffice, and selecting the Help :: Check for Updates menu. The dialog that appears should say that NeoOffice 3.0.2 is available:
    UpdateURL=http://www-test.neooffice.org/neojava/patchcheck.php?product=NeoOffice%203.0.2%20Early%20Access&patch=Patch%200&os=${_OS}&arch=${_ARCH}
