We could actually do both, if you believe it makes sense:
- signed 4.1.1 (next Windows binaries only) by end of December
- 4.1.2 in January
IMHO this doesn't make sense and would be just a waste of resources,
when doing 2 releases in such a short time frame.
But I would tend to do only the bigger release (4.1.2) - let's say in
January/February. When ...
Honestly, Infra would like (and they are right) that after asking for
years for digital signing, we actually use it. We can't put many
obstacles in front of it. So a long list of things that we must have
ready before that won't work. Signing Windows binaries will have to
happen, and users will benefit from it in terms of trust in OpenOffice.
Assuming that more or less we can master the technology, distributing
the 4.1.1 signed binaries is not a huge feat for us (it would need
production of the new binaries and their upload to a new directory like
"windows-signed" and defaulting to "windows-signed" in the JavaScript in
the download page). It is far less than a release and at least it could
show that on this (new for OpenOffice) topic we are ready.
In case I wasn't clear (and this is my fault for not summarizing the
Budapest talks correctly) signed binaries have high priority. One way is
to make a 4.1.2 release and sign it, and this requires going through the
whole process (no, it can't be a Windows-only release). Another way is
to ship a signed version of the existing 4.1.1 binaries as a "warm up"
for the moment when this will be integral part of the release process.
all nice words. But it doesn't matter and especially for the Windows
build it's indeed not a long list of obstacles, wishes, or what ever.
Just one: Who will - and can - do it?
So, when we have answered this question, we are a big step towards a new
release.
