We should plan the dir change for the next bigger release. Should be
doable when it's no longer this year.

possibly...and yet many of them are OK. But I do know Juergen, our tireless
release manager, has been arguing for a different structure for a while,
and that's fine. It was just given what was already setup in SF with 3.3
that was my original concern. And, the fact that this request was in "new"
territory if you will for the 3.4 release that I personally was very
nervous about. How would this effect what they needed to do, etc.
Basically, once the packs get loaded, we're into a what , maybe a 48 hour
test period? If something went really wrong, well...
But...this said about 3.4 and now 3.4.1, Marcus and I have have cleaned up
a LOT of this script. Dealing with a directory structure change won't be
the issue it would have been in May.
So, I think we're good with suggestions for the future.

I think link checker would only get the first link into SF, but not
the asynch download that comes 5 seconds later. So it doesn't really
check for much.
I think of it like this: # of errors in download process == # of
errors we put in - # of errors we find and fix
There is a lot we could do to lower the # of bugs we put it.
Automation is what we need. Right now the directory structure produced
by the build differs from the directory structure we have in the
download tree. I think that is the source of the complexity that is
hurting us. That, plus the fact that our download tree has an
irrational structure, more complicated than necessary. If we can
reduce this disconnect between build and distribution, I think it
would help.

I've tried to use a link checker. But it seems to fail with the special
download URL that SourceForge is using. So, there is always a good link
indicated, even when no download was started but a alternative webpage
loaded. :-(
http://linkchecker.submitexpress.com/
Hm, there must be a tool to check for broken links. Does someone know of
a better way or tool? IMHO too many link to check all manually.

I've corrected the link and adjusted the text on the underlying webpage
a bit.
In the ".../download/sdk/" dir there are no release notes for a AOO
release. Hm, maybe Juergen can tell us more (tomorrow).

Hi. I just got in a bit ago and am in the process of downloading Linux
32bit (from SF). Everything seems OK so far...I will double check when it's
finished and I unpack it. I'm not sure about the other situations you're
discussing here but for my situation, all is good.

Good idea. 400 is too much to ignore for some hours or a day, especially
on a release day with announcement.

Exactly. And this often happened also for volunteers busy with QA
activities: a bug report in IssueZilla is supposed to use the English
form for commands and menus, to make it easier for developers to
reproduce the problem.

The en-US langpacks are available also on SourceForge. So, I've added
the links back to the "other.html" webpage.

the easier part is to provide the en-US language packs that we have
voted on and that were part of the snapshot builds. I still don't know
why I have left them out... Maybe I simply have overseen them because of
our stupid directory structure I have to copy en-US separately. But that
should be no excuse ;-) By the way I have copied them already on dist.
I will also work on some SDK release notes but I am not sure if I will
finish this before I go on vacation on Saturday. I have some other
things on my to-do list first.

seems to be room for improvements, maybe we should think about
multi-lang office with 2 langs -> en-US + 1 lang or move forward with
the en-US language pack

If would be interesting, if I had any idea about what would these
numbers mean ;) If we see downloads coming from very specifics countries
with languages for which we provide full install sets, would it mean
that the translation is poor or incomplete at some point, and the user
prefers to switch to en-US? Hard to guess.

I've updated the download page to remove the en-US langpack links. We
can add them back in a day or two, once the files have been uploaded
and synched.
The stats I have for AOO 3.4.0 show that this langpack was download
around 400/day. So not huge. I don't have the country breakdown in
front of me, but I can run a report on it if you are interested.
In any case, are we ready to publish the blog and website now? I think we are.

If you install a localized install set, you get only that localized
language. IIRC OOo never released en-US language packs, that's why many
people working in translation, needing to check some UI string in
English, ended up installing the en-GB language pack. Although for this
use case, it would be better to provide archived versions.
It would be interesting to know the statistics, from which countries
where those en-US language packs downloaded.

I was too fast and should have read the thread completely.
I can't remember the reason why I left out the en-US lang packs, we
should check if they are necessary at all or if en-US is always there.
We should remove the link for now until we have checked it.
I will also do more checks on the staging pages to get an overview where
we exactly are ...

Dummy question, but what if some one copies the files from our home
folders to /www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/stable/3.4.1 ?
I wasn't aware that we had access to this folder directly....
arielch@minotaur:/www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/stable/3.4.1$ pwd
/www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/stable/3.4.1
Mmmm it looks like that folders should belong to the incubator group,
and the group should have write access so that any committer can fix
last minute bugs like this:
arielch@minotaur:/www/www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/stable$ ls -l .
total 45
drwxrwxr-x 2 jsc jsc 92 May 2 07:43 3.4.0

Please ignore the above. It is one of the stupidest things I've said
this week. I first say the files are missing on the Apache dist
servers and then suggest that we point to the mirrors instead. Doh!
Of course the mirrors sync from the dist servers. So they are missing
the files as well.
So in other words, no one has the en-US langpack except for the RC
copies on people.apache.org.
So unless we're willing to go out tonight with a "check back tomorrow"
message for that language pack we'll need to wait until tomorrow for
these files to at least get onto SourceForge.
I'll revert the change I just made that pointed those links to the
Apache mirrors.
It is quite possible that this is all resolved before I wake up
tomorrow. If so, please someone remember to publish the draft blog
post at the same time you publish the website, or within a few
minutes. They reference each other.

Missing on the Apache dist servers as well, e.g.:
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ooo/files/stable/3.4.1/
We'll nede Juergen to upload that and SF to copy it. With the time
zone difference (Hamburg versus California) this will not happen
quickly.
Looking at the download stats I see it gets around 400 downloads per
day. What if we pointed to the Apache mirrors tonight, and then
switch to SF once it is ready?
The links would start with:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/aoo-closer.cgi/incubator/ooo/files/stable/3.4.1/
Would that make sense?

It seems the langpacks for en-US are completely missing:
