Blog post: update on OpenOffice 4.1.2 status
A long overdue blog post on the 4.1.2 status is now online:
https://blogs.apache.org/OOo/entry/coming_soon_apache_openoffice_4
I regret that our tools do not really allow to review a post before
publishing it, but if there is anything to be fixed/modify just note it
here and I will fix it.
The Wiki page
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2
has also been updated accordingly (Kay, do you have a simple way to
produce updated Bugzilla searches to list in that wiki page? There are
still the 4.1.1 ones, but they should be replaced).
In short:
- Most of the code changes are already in the AOO410 branch.
- I will update the SNAPSHOT tag in a few hours
- It is time to focus on QA and final preparations
By final preparations I mean press release, release notes and website.
Do you think we should update the site headline to point to that blog
post? At least we would give visibility to what we have been doing recently.
Regards,
Andrea.

Is there a rough list of bugfixes that can be formed into complete
sentences in the release notes?

Sure, it would help to get more attention. But - as Kay mentioned it
already - the downloading the builds need to the ready and for that the
Win buildbot.

Ok, I finally got on with this. There was one little
additional trick.

Sure. This makes sense. Hopefully the SNAPSHOTS will emerge
soon. :)

Well this is certainly a good point.

In Bugzilla's Advanced search (this answers the question from Marcus
too) one can do a "Custom Search" for "Flags" - "contains the string" -
"4.1.2_release_blocker" and the system will show a list of bugs fixed or
proposed for 4.1.2.

This is true for the buildbots. But probably our best option is NOT to
use the buildbots for 4.1.2; if we manage to get snapshots from the same
hardware used to build 4.1.1 it would be perfect. Let's see.
Note: while the current snapshot is probably not the final 4.1.2
release, it is quite close. Most of the code changes are already in and
are ready for testing. I expect that the next snapshot (no estimated
date) will be our Release Candidate.

Maybe we can wait a couple days, but I'd rather get volunteers first and
builds later. Users will also appreciate to know that 4.1.2 is coming
soon: we didn't give it any visibility except for this mailing list and
the CWiki so far, and it was a mistake.
Regards,
Andrea.

re BZ: I will work on this today. I was trying to do that a
week or so ago, but couldn't find a way to deal with
tracking by "Flag".

When can we get actual RCs/test builds to use? Since the
"win" buildbot is still having issues, even you reset
SNAPSHOT, we will only have a few Linux builds to use for
testing.

We could do that. But I would feel better if we had test
build available first.
