[RELEASE]: snapshot build for Mac and Windows based on revision 1521921

Hi,

I have upload a new snapshot for Mac and Windows based on revision
1521921. I also update the related wiki page under [1] (quite painful
after the confluence update).

An overview of changes/fixes in this snapshot since AOO 4.0.1 can be
found under [2].

Mac is still 32 bit but my plan is that the next snapshot and future
versions will be 64 bit.

Linux is not yet available via the snapshot page because of some
problems with the build machines. I recommend the builds from the Apache
builds bots. The difference is only that the Apache bots have a newer
baseline but will work on newer Linux systems.

I plan to provide patch sets for Windows in the next days together with
additional information how to test and use them.

Further languages and updates of existing languages will be integrated
in the next snapshot.

No, it isn't. 32-bit was still a clear winner for the whole 2013:
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/mediaresource/ee577c6b-74ca-472a-b698-b8488748e0dd
(as you see, 64-bit between 20 and 50% of the Linux downloads; it is 
growing and reached 50% in December, but it will take a while before 
32-bit becomes negligible).

The above already shows that we can't drop 64-bit now. Additionally, a 
significant percentage of Linux installation probably starts from a 
"live media" installation, and for maximum compatibility these are often 
32-bit. So it may well happen that 64-bit capable hardware still runs a 
32-bit distribution.

Regards,
   Andrea.

This may not be common among developers, but certainly is among older users and installers/linux advocates who migrate older users to cast off machines from children.  My own main editing comouter is a 32 bit running Xubuntu and OpenOffice. If I am asked to salvage a cast off computer I normally reformat the HD and put 32 bit linux on it without further thought, as this will run on nearly anything. I would regret the loss of OO 32 bit.

I also am on 32-bit Linux and I think others here may be as well. Yes, I do
have an older computer but I'm happy with it for now. So, WAH!, on the idea
of dropping the 32-bit binaries.

On my original question/complaint. I could change the buildbot script to
generate rpms (I think the 32 bit linux snapshot is only building for
"deb", en-US currently), but probably this buildbot instance would then
need to be restarted, which, I can't do.

I think I have already described why that is not easy possible and
requires much more work. We have good reasons to move to a newer MacOS
platform SDK (explained already) if we don't want to risk to run in
problems on newer or future MacOS versions. APIs are already deprecated
by Apple and we have to take this into account.

I also promised that we can give support if anybody is interested to
invest the time in supporting an older SDK than 10.7 and potentially
also a 32 bit version for MacOS.

Our plan is to focus on modern systems only and especially on Mac the
situation is different than on Linux. Newer Mac systems are all running
on 64 bit. It is not the question of 32 or 64 bit on Mac but more which
platform SDK we need as baseline.

To repeat it again AOO 4.1 will require the 10.7 SDK and if somebody is
interested to work on support for 10.6 stand up now.

And for Linux 32 bit binaries are not built automatically and we spent a
lot of time on it. We need an older baseline that is not supported by
infra on the Apache bots, means we can't easy use the build bots for our
releases. Where are the volunteers who take care of this? Where are the
volunteers who convince infra that we need at least 2 VMs (32 and 64
bit) that matches our baseline.
Currently it is not a problem and it is clear that 32 bit Linux is
widely used. But anybody who is requesting here the support should think
about it. I have enough other things to do and this is a community
project, anybody can help to provide the binaries on his own machine
that matches the baseline.

Maho was a great asset.

As for no hardware, that is the same line Oracle, and Sun before them used.

Apple hardware is extremely long lived. Many people still use PPC Macs. Check out

Abandoning older versions of OS X is a big mistake. Many people can't, or will not, update from 
OS X version 10.6.xx for very valid reasons.  There are even better reasons to continue 32 bit 
versions of AOO than for 32 bit Linux.

Just a side note, so please don't take it personally:

Our longterm supporter, Maho, has given up himself to support this 
platform (I don't know at the moment why, maybe broken hardware ?). So, 
we have no hardware for building, testing, releasing - and would need to 
get (buy) this hardware to go on with AOO. ;-)

Apple has switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and Mac OS X 10.5 in 2007 
was the last version for PPC. So, these users have no chance anymore to 
upgrade their OS. I think especially Apple users like to have the newest 
stuff and I wouldn't expect that there are many people doing their daily 
work only on a PPC machine.

BTW:
With the work Herbert is doing (new baseline for Mac's will be 10.7) it 
would be the end anyway.

My 2 ct.

No. AFAIK Apple, the commercial entity that produced and sold and developed software for PPC has
stopped doing so, EOL policy.

The boon of open source software is, that everyone *can* take the source and compile it for PPC.

Alternatively, other software products using AOO source code like LO can support such a platform.

yes and no, that is how it works for sure. If you want something do it,
if you can't do it yourself convince others to help. Do nothing
definitely won't work.

And this is not personal it is a general reminder how it works.

And I repeat. Not supporting an operating system that was only replaced 2 1/2 years ago is 
wrong. Stand up now? Sounds like the old developer attitude "if you want it, do it yourself".

The same applies to Macs. If you continue to provide 32 bit Linux you should continue offering 
32 bit for Macs.

How about for Mac PowerPC computers? I hate having to recommend LibreOffice to Mac PowerPC users.

Many older computers will only run 32 bit Linux. This may not be common among developers, but certainly is among older users and installers/linux advocates who migrate older users to cast off machines from children.  My own main editing comouter is a 32 bit running Xubuntu and OpenOffice. If I am asked to salvage a cast off computer I normally reformat the HD and put 32 bit linux on it without further thought, as this will run on nearly anything. I would regret the loss of OO 32 bit.

do we have numbers how many 32bit downloads we have, I would assume that
Linux is running under 64bit mainly.

I am in favor to drop 32 bit Linux to reduce the number of binary
builds. Any opinions? But probably better in a new thread ;-)

OK -- it looks like we're still only generating .deb packages for 32-bit
Linux from SNAPSHOT, so 32 bit Linux folks must use nightly..

And...???

Looking at:

http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/

the revision numbers don't seem correct. Right now "/trunk" (used for
nightly) is at: 1557669
and SNAPSHOT is at: 1556251

Maybe these need to be manually changes in the table? I don't know who
maintains the page above.

Just downloaded the latest snapshot build for MacOSX (en-us, rev. 1556251) and found that the
unoinfo-bug reported in <https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123475> is still present,
preventing Java programs using "uninfo java" for setting the classpath to be able to interact with AOO.

As the issue might not be too visible, yet the bug inhibits effectively Java from using AOO when
using "unoinfo" it seems that it should be fixed, before a final release for 4.1.0.

Super, thank you very much Herbert!

P.S.: Yes, will test it with the next snapshot, whenever it is being built.

Fixed with [1] that will get into the next snapshot build, that will be 
out really soon. Please test it then.
