ANNOUNCE: ooo-build-3.1.0.6 released (3.1-rc7 == final)

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

I am happy to announce the 3.1-rc7 release of ooo-build-3-1 branch. You might
find it at

        http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.6.tar.gz
        http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.6.tar.gz.md5

I would mark it as final. We are going to provide packages based on this
version to our users.

It passed QA (full testautomation + various manual tests). Of course, OOo is
too complex to find all bugs by any reasonable testing. Though, we did our
best and it is time to deliver our work to the wide audience.

As usual, please report bugs into bugzilla.novell.com for the
product "OpenOffice.org". We will provide a bugfix release within next few
weeks if needed.


Status of branches and plans:

        + master:
                + currently intended for the up-comming 3.1.1 release
                + support ooo310-m11 (3.1-final)
                + opened for any development (be aware of 3.1.1 release in August)
                + 3.1.1-alpha1 release within next few weeks (after final 3.1-rc)
                + will do the ooo-build-3-1-1 branch within next few weeks;
                  we would like to do more changes for OOo-3.1 and do not want
                  to maintain it too long; feel free to complain

        + ooo-build-3-1 (maintenance mode):
                + should stay stable, please commit only critical and well tested fixes
                  for potential maintenance update
                + support ooo310-m11 (3.1-final)
                + the last release is at
                  http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.6.tar.gz
                + I would do more releases on request if a critical bug is fixed later

        + ooo-build-3-0-1 (maintenance mode):
                + obsolete by ooo-build-3-1 if nobody complains ;-)


Novell team outlook:

        + OOXML import/export filter [Cedric, Jan, Kendy, Radek]
        + VBA support in Writer [Fong,Noel]
        + various Calc fixes [Kohei]
        + move to git [Kendy]
        + build split [Petr]
        + more improvements and fixes for OOo-3.1.1 [all]
        + ...


Changes in this release against ooo-build-3.1.0.5:

ooo-build-3.1.0.6 (3.1-rc7)

    + bug fixes:
        + shifted translations of OOo Calc options (bnc#507643) [Kohei]
    + build bits:
        + really apply non-language-specific sdf files (n#507643) [Petr]
        + localize fails with duplicated symlinks (i#102296) [Petr]
        + better fix of the SDK profile (i#101883) [Rene]

Feel free to send me hints how to improve these announcement mails ;-)

Hi,

> http://download.go-oo.org/OOO310/ooo-build-3.1.0.6.tar.gz

Thank you for latest release.

Small problem in ooo310-m11-bootstrap.tar.bz2 file:

Missing "accessories" and "scsolver" dir's.

Full path:

ooo310-m11-bootstrap/scp2/source/accessories/
ooo310-m11-bootstrap/scp2/source/scsolver/

It "Merging extra localization" phase raises problems because of this

Fixing localize.sdf permissions...
Merging extra localization ooo-build-hu.sdf...
.........WARNING: File ./build/ooo310-m11/scp2/source/scsolver/localize.sdf is
not writable , try to merge ...
Can't open/create './build/ooo310-m11/scp2/source/scsolver/localize.sdf'

Request one:

Please remove "ooo310-m11-libs-extern-sys/moz/download" directory from
ooo310-m11-libs-extern-sys.tar.bz2, and the download script let the necessary
one download it mozilla source.

Question from me:

How expandable the ./distro-configs directory a newer distro config?

Excuse me my weak English knowledge

All of them are optional component, si It does not required for general

build Of course I am happy if you use accessories :o) They are a few
extras for general build like templates, fonts, cliparts. If you
interested I can help you.

While you not use such components you can ignore such error messages.

That folder comes from upstream. What is the rational idea to remove it?

You can simply copy one selected config with another name. Also you have
to add your distro into configure.in
in this section:
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for vendor name based on the distribution name])

For last step please check patches/dev300/apply for all required patches.

I am maintaining OxygeOffice as you probably know.

If you have more question about the processes, settings do not hesitate
to ask.

What is your target platform, do you use special distro?

Please, ignore these warnings. The problem is that these are optional
features. They are not included in the main sources but the strings are in
the main .sdf file.

scp2/source/accessories/ is created by scp2_accessories.diff. It is used only
by the distro OxygenOffice.

scp2/source/scsolver/ does not longer exits. Kohei removed it in favor of the
upstream implementation. The strings will get removed automatically from
the .sdf files once I update the ooo-build.sdf (after next string freeze).

Why should we remove the directory? It includes mozilla-source.txt with some
useful information.

> and the download script let the necessary one download it mozilla source.

It is currently downloaded for the Windows build if you use "download --all"
Feel free to send a patch to improve configure.in, download.in and bin/unpack.

I personally do not have experiences with the internal mozilla sources. I use
the mozilla stuff from system.

We could add there any new distro for you. Feel free to send a patch and we
will commit it. You need to change the following locations:

        + create distro-configs/xxx.in
        + mention distro-configs/xxx in configure.in (nearly end of the file)
        + configure the distro in paches/dev300/apply to define what patches will be
          applied

Note that we prefer to get patches in the git format, see
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ooo-build/GettingIt#head-784af958427391301220f1268c97750d39b27a33

It was fine. I think that I understood everything.

The idea:

./configure
./download
./make

no any patch during make

The reality:

./configure
./download
./make
patch
./make
patch
./make
path ...

OOo source code is really huge and complex and there are various build
problems on various systems. Every new version usually brings new build
problems. Also there are build problems caused by new compiler, glibc, and
other system stuff.

You could send us your patches and we will add them into ooo-build. There is a
big chance that others would need the same fixes sooner or later anyway.
