Staging 4.1.2 (was RE: Budapest and thereafter.)

Looking around for some other matters, I notice there is no 4.1.1 branch in the SVN.  Is this intentional?

Not much has changed indeed. I pushed to have buildbots running before 
the release, but indeed if buildbots are problematic and the same 
volunteers who built the previous releases can still commit to doing so 
for the next one, it is no major problem.

Very honestly, I would like that we don't depend on individuals for 
project resources, but maybe it is easier for a developer to share an 
existing virtual machine (and possibly get it running at Apache) than to 
prepare a buildbot environment.

No, since it won't magically happen. So, what is the minimum we can do 
for a 4.1.2 release? I would set it at:
- New/updated translations
- New/updated dictionaries
- Bugfixes (to be discussed)
- Signed Windows binaries
- Binaries for all other systems as usual

I can volunteer for the first two items (coordinating translations and 
adding/updating dictionaries).

But I'm actually missing some information maybe. Out of the following 
releases, which ones were built on individuals' machines for 4.1.1? All? 
Some? And are these built in a VM that we could consider moving to 
Apache hardware or not?
1) Windows
2) Linux 64 bit (RPM+DEB)
3) Linux 32 bit (RPM+DEB)
4) Mac

Regards,
   Andrea.

Correction:

" The RAT scan linked to in the [VOTE] message for 4.1.1 lists only seven files for aoo410/main/writerperfect." (not aoo401)

OK, here is why I was looking for this.  Thanks for the links, Kay.

The RAT scan linked to in the [VOTE] message for 4.1.1 lists only seven files for aoo401/main/writerperfect.

Looking in the apache-openoffice-4.1.1-r1517669-src.zip, I see 33 files that could have comments and notices.
Looking at aoo-4.1.1/writerperfect/source/filter/DocumentCollector.cxx, the first one I chose to examine, I see three Copyright notices and an LGPL license notice in the comments at the top of the file.

The same file, and the others, appear at 
<https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/branches/AOO410/main/writerperfect/>
as well as <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openoffice/trunk/main/writerperfect/>
at revision 1645375.

I'm no expert on RAT.  I can't account for the peculiar situation.  I think it would be good to have a stronger check for 4.1.2 though.

OK, I verified that everything builds fine without it and I removed 
main/writerperfect:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1648122

Please note that the status is not completely clear, see 
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118919 for more (but if we 
are not using it, maybe the discussion is not worth it anyway).

Regards,
   Andrea.

Yes. According to my records the PMC was notified about a couple of licensing issues, including this one, on March 12, 2014.

I agree. If the build doesn't depend on them being there in some manner, simple removal of the writerperfect directory from the trunk should be sufficient.  If there is a config dependency for creating builds, that should be removed as well.

I'm CCing Pedro who told me something similar (possibly the very same 
issue) at ApacheCon last month. If I understand correctly, these files 
are unused for the build and should simply be removed.
