Re: [PROPOSAL] General Availability of ApacheOpenOffice 4.1.2-patch1 Hotfixes

[Marcus]

I hope that this is just a silent consensus as I haven't seen a single 
comment to this. ;-)


SUB-PROPOSAL:
Go online with the English-based hotfix (especially Readme's and Windows 
.bat files) and do not wait for the localizations that could be finished 
in the next days (weeks?). Bring them online when they got ready.

[BCC PMC, FYI QA]

At this time, the preparation and dev@/qa@ confirmation of the AOO 4.1.2-patch1 
Hotfixes has quieted.

I propose that the current binaries be placed into general availability.  I am 
initiating lazy consensus to end not before Tuesday, 2016-08-23T22:00Z.

MATERIALS TO BE AVAILABLE

  * The file hotfix.html at

will be made available at


  * The directory folder

will be made available as a subdirectory of
.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF AVAILABILITY

   * The CVE-2016-1513 advisory,
 ,
 will be reissued to include availability of the hotfix and
 refer users to the hotfix.html page in the archive 4.1.2-patch1
 location.

   * There will be an accompanying announcement on dev@, users@,
 and in the two bugzilla issues related to the defect that the
 hotfix applies to.

WHAT TO REVIEW

You can find everything to be made available by starting with the hotfix.html 
page at
.

IGNORE the Source column.  The source release has already occurred, and those 
links will not be valid until deployment of hotfix.html to the archive location.

The README files are the next materials to examine.  There you can learn more 
about the hotfix for each of the four platforms: Windows, MacOSX, Linux32, and 
Linux64.  Follow any of the procedures that you want to verify.

I will work with infra on getting these installed on the Linux buildbots
we're using. I don't think trying to build/load them locally would be
very easy really. I ran through the tests using command line
instructions from:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/test_automation_guide

We really do need this testing, and I don't see any tests set up for
Base, so we need to work on that.

RE: FW: Internationalization of 4.1.2-patch1 (was RE: a question about "APPLY-4.1.2-patch1.bat")

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

[Please cross-post all replies]

Two localizations for the 4.1.2-patch1 hotfix are near completion.  

   They are for German (de) and Nederlands (nl) (often "Dutch" in English). 

It would be very useful to have localizations in French, Italian, and Spanish, 
preferably by native speakers.

NAMING THE FILES

Unfortunately, the English-language README and the download file have no 
language suffix.  They are

README-4.1.2-patch1-Windows.txt
and apache-openoffice-4.1.2-patch1-Win_x86.zip

Also, the install and uninstall script names do not reflect their language:

APPLY-4.1.2-patch1.bat
and REVERT-4.1.2-patch1.bat

LOCALIZED NAMING

For the additional localizations, language suffixes are proposed to an aid in 
multilingual situations and to prevent name collisions.  With suffixes, the 
relevant names would become (using German for example),

  README-4.1.2-patch1-Windows-de.txt
  Apache-openoffice-4.1.2-patch1-Win_x86_de.zip
  APPLY-4.1.2-patch1_de.bat
  REVERT-4.1.2-patch1_de.bat

In reviewing the localizations, I will adjust these as needed.

I think it would be better to use us...@openoffice.apache.org and not put users 
through so many steps.

Also, I think the moderators should be generous in accepting user requests to 
either list and  not put them through too many steps, especially when they have 
done their best to express their request in English.

So we should CC communityteam@... if it is actually something that only they

Exactly. This is how it should work in theory (i.e., they should be 
contacted for hosting problems only), but apparently they are currently 
overwhelmed by misplaced OpenOffice support requests that they are no 
longer able to handle.
