[OFF-LIST] RE: Digital signing release for windows.

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <de...@acm.org>]

It occurs to me that nagging the list about things is not moving the ball forward.  I suggest that is not useful and it would be valuable to stay constructive or even request assistance.

Your offer is interesting.  Andrea has the key for AOO.  

Don't forget that all of the languages need to be done.

Hi.

It seems (as usual) that the discussion has died out, and nobody does
anything (my apologies in advance I am wrong, I would very much like to be
wrong).

[ ... ]

My suggestion is simple, lets rerun AOO 4.1 for windows, sign it digitally,
and then release it as a patch version.

I am happy to help, especially with the signing, but to help I need access
to the certificate given to the PMC, and somebody who can make a release
windows build.

Steps are simple:
1) make a full build, pick all DLL, JAR and EXE from the object tree
2) Sign them, or let me help with that
3) Overwrite the object tree with the signed artifacts
4) run build but on postprocess (generate new setup package)
5) Sign the installer or let me help with that
6) Upload and start vote
7) Upload to dist and be happy.

What is stopping us from doing something that simple ?

If we want a 4.2 so much better, but lets do the simple things first.

And please lets not cloud this simple step, by missing buildbots etc.

just my opinion.

I agree with you, but sometimes you need to be a bit more direct to get
things moving....I am not happy about this fact, but look at our list and
you will find many good initiatives that  simply died. As a side note, I
actually was constructive too.

This issue is important not only to AOO but also to INFRA as representative
for ASF.....so it would be unfair just to let it die.....but I am all ears
(or eyes) for suggestions on how to reactivate good ideas and get them done.

I know that, but expected the key had been passed on to some other PMC.

I have a script, do when I want to generate I simply tell it which
languages......but yes it take calendar and cpu tine.
