Hi,
I am happy to announce 3.3-alpha1 release of ooo-build master. You
might find it at
http://download.go-oo.org/3.3/ooo-build-3.2.98.1.tar.gz
http://download.go-oo.org/3.3/ooo-build-3.2.98.1.tar.gz.md5
It took very long time because of many changes, vacations, ...
New source tarballs:
--------------------
As announced in other mails, we started to move patches from ooo-build
to the OOo git sources. It means that the plain OOo source tarballs are
not longer usable. Instead, ooo-build-<version>-<piece>.tar.bz2 are
needed. They are automatically downloaded by the script ./download.
Alternatively, you might get them at http://download.go-oo.org/3.3/ We
started to provide the prebuilt tarballs again because people had
troubles with CGIT...
The tarballs has the structure:
+ ooo-build-<version>-<piece>
+ module1
+ prj
+ source
+ module2
+prj
This structure is typical for software sources. It will be nice for the
split build. We really need got forward and get split build into life.
All module dirs are automatically moved into single dir
build/ooo-build-<version> during non-split build.
If you want to unpack and move somewhere else, you might do it by the
helper script
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/ooo-build/ooo-build/plain/bin/ooo-unpack-sources
It will be ooo-build/bin in the next release.
Configure options:
------------------
+ use --without-git if you want the prebuilt sources; otherwise, git clone is created
by default
+ use --with-source-version if you want to use another version of the OOo piece sources;
this is useful for test builds with non-official tarballs; it will be even more useful
in the future after we move "all" patches from ooo-build and there won't be any changes
in ooo-build between releases
+ remove obsolete --with-tag option
New processes:
--------------
+ suggested workflow for packagers and developers is described at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/ooo-build/BuildingIt#Buildingfordifferentpurposes
Known bugs:
-----------
+ application stop immediately after the first start; it is because the new
framework for registering extensions; we need to find a solution for it
+ GNOME quickstarter is enabled by default
+ unopkg does not add .zip extensions (see a problems with PostgreSQL driver extension here)
+ more at http://alturl.com/qaq5
Upcoming deadlines:
-------------------
I would like to do another release (alpha2/beta1) within next two weeks.
Status of branches and plans:
-----------------------------
+ master (3.3 development):
+ currently based on ooo330-m7
+ few late features allowed; all should concentrate on bugfixing from now on
+ alpha2/beta1 planed within next two weeks
+ ooo-build-3-2-1 (3.2 maintenance mode):
+ only save and well tested fixes are allowed in the common sections
+ security bug fix release at
http://download.go-oo.org/OOO320/ooo-build-3.2.1.6.tar.gz
+ might do more releases for a maintenance update in the future
