Damjan reported an interesting finding a few hours ago: the source
package of OpenOffice 4.1.2-RC3 contains two extra files (which are not
in SVN) in "main/": MacOSXX64Env.Set and MacOSXX64Env.Set.sh.
I've done a quick check and:
- The issue already exists in the 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 releases, and likely
in previous releases too.
- The extra files are there due to a glitch in the script that packages
sources (sources are not 100% the same as an svn export: for example, we
don't want to carry revision control specific elements around, so the
packages sources do not contain .svnignore files, and soon); similarly,
there is an extra Makefile, which is generated by the same process.
- The extra files have zero practical relevance since the configure
process will ignore them (on a Mac, it will will silently overwrite
them; on other systems, it will create the equivalent files and use
those during the build).
I recommend that we continue voting on 4.1.2-RC3, since anyway this is
not an issue to fix in SVN. It is what would be called a "clerical
error" to blame on scripts.
In any cases:
1) I will work on fixing our source packages. I'll keep you posted on this.
2) This is a clear example that shows we need to store all auxiliary
scripts in SVN too. I've collected all of them for binary builds already
and I'll commit them to SVN soon. This will help immensely in, for
example, the buildbots setup.
Binary packages are, of course, totally unaffected by this issue.
We should all be grateful to Damjan for finding a glitch that escaped
our scrutiny in the latest two (but possibly many more...) releases.
Regards,
Andrea.
