draft 4.0.1 announcement blog post

https://blogs.apache.org/preview/OOo/?previewEntry=announcing_apache_openoffice_4_0

Short and direct.

Is there anything else worth mentioning, from a project perspective?
I tried to avoid simply repeating what the release notes already say.

If I understand correctly we'll go live with the announcement on
Tuesday.  So we'll want to ensure the website download page is ready
first.

"immediate availability of Apache 4.0.1" -> "[Apache] OpenOffice 4.0.1".

The rest is OK, a couple of bugs had been discussed on the mailing lists 
in Italian before being reported and eventually fixed, so I asked to the 
list if reporters want to share some details to include in the post.

Maybe I would add a link on how to contribute in QA.

Regards,
   Andrea.

Thanks for the hint. As there is no default naming schema it needs to be 
changed for every new release. I've done it now.

Marcus;

One thing I noticed is that the link for the release notes under the 
green download box still points to the 4.0 release notes and not the 4.0.1.

I've updated only the ".../download/test/" website area. But even here 
no CMS build was triggered. Maybe something is broken in general. I hope 
that Infra can help.

Sorry, I need to go to bed now as I've to manage another new release 
tomorrow (hm, already today). But totally Apache unrelated. ;-)

Good! Yep! When you do moves or deletes, you must commit before doing
anything else. I think I got bogged down with something similar a while
back.

Happy to see the new Announcement as well! :)

That gave me an idea.  I did an svn export of the new pt directory,
then deleted that from svn.  I committed that deletion and the CMS
build was then able to complete.  Yeah!   I then re-added the pt
directory (the new new pt directory) and committed that and it still
built.  So I published that.

What was lost in the process was the version history on the "new" pt
directory.  But that was only a week old (previously pt-test) so this
is an acceptable tradeoff.

Since we'll be doing more of these kinds of renaming as more NL
websites come on board, from xx-test to xx, we'll need to be careful.
I think the safer approach may be to do it like this:

svn move xx xx.old
commit

svn move xx-test xx
commit

So do it in two separate commits.

-Rob

OK,  you did an *svn* move of pt to pt.old? I think this  is what is
causing the hangup. The (CMS) svn now thinks "pt" should (have been) be
deleted -- maybe your svn version operates slightly differently than
whatever the CMS is using, isn't.

 Can you try doing an svn remove on pt again, followed by a commit? Then
maybe continue with the rest -- moving pt-test to pt?

Or, maybe do "svn cleanup" and then the removal of "pt"? You might need to
recreate the whole "pt" area again, but, oh well...

I tried that via:
https://cms.apache.org/redirect?new=1;uri=http://ooo-site.apache.org/

But I ended up with the same error after the next build attempt.
You're welcome to try your luck.  Maybe I missed something.

I think something got out of order in the commits to staging.

Before this problem happened we had:

/content/pt (the old Portuguese directory)
/content/pt-test (the new translation)

I moved pt to pt.old and then moved pt-test to pt.  I committed that
from my local working copy to SVN.  No errors.  I then made one
further change to /pt/brand.mdtext.  That would be the new /pt
directory, of course.  No error committing that change.

But now we have an error:

Unmergeable scheduling requested on an entry: Can't add
'/usr/local/websites/ooo-site/trunk/content/pt/brand.html' to a parent
directory scheduled for deletion at
/usr/local/cms/build/lib/ASF/SVNUtil.pm line 69

That sounds like it noticed the deletion of the old pt directory when
it was renamed to pt.old, but does not notice that a new pt directory
was created when pt-test was renamed to pt.

Or something else.

Can someone give us an update on this?

Is there something we can do? Like force new ooo-site working copy? I'm on
infra TRC right now, but I don't see anything pertaining to this...

OK, just go and publish. I've finished the needed changes. Let's see if 
something is still wrong.

Holding back on the publish since we seem to be in an odd state.  The
website build is failing with an error:

"Unmergeable scheduling requested on an entry: Can't add
'/usr/local/websites/ooo-site/trunk/content/pt/brand.html' to a parent
directory scheduled for deletion at
/usr/local/cms/build/lib/ASF/SVNUtil.pm line 69"

I have to run to a meeting right now, but I'll check after with Infra
on IRC later this afternoon, unless someone gets to it before me.

OK.  I'll publish now.  That will allow us to find any issues now,

I was going to ask about this. The last few times, we went live with the
web site a day BEFORE the announcement. So, today is fine with me.  Publish
away! :)

I also noticed a "burp" in the ooo-site staging commit of yesterday. It
would be nice to get on with the publishing a bit earlier -- today -- in
case we run into issues. Just saying...

I've updated the announcement text and put Pedro's new Portuguese NL
homepage into place:

http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/pt

Are we waiting for anything else?  Would it make sense to "go live"
today instead of waiting for Tuesday?

I don't know what you mean with "language menu bar" but for me it looks

I just finished porting the web version of the release notes over to where
it normally lives.

I will keep my eye on additional changes later today and tomorrow. It's not
a big deal to redo them -- just remembering what I need to do. :/

After the release announcement, I don't know if we should re-port or not. I
guess it depends on how folks feel. The language menu bar doesn't show up
on this version.

OK, if there are already Spanish release notes for AOO 4.0.1 available 
don't forget to link them.

Taking profit of this "freeze", I've just updated the staging ES site with
the 4.0.1 announcement (I'll be short of time during the week).

I've updated the download webpages, so that now 4.0.1 is the favorite 
download. Of course still only in the staged area:

http://ooo-site.staging.apache.org/download/index.html

Please test yourself. For me every link is working that I've clicked on 
but of course I've not tested every platform, language and link.

*Important:*
Avoid any changes and especially publishing on the webpages until 
Tuesday. Otherwise the new 4.0.1 download links will go online without 
announcement and public note.

Thanks in advance.

Marcus

To mention the "MS Excel export improvement" is really important as it 
was (one of) the topic with the highest number of reported 4.0.0 issues 
(with 6 duplicates and 9 votes).

Yes, let me check on Monday evening (Hamburg time) if it's already 
working. Then we can do the public announcement on Tuesday with working 
download links.

Does that need to be "MS Excel"?
