As we have now the patched library file and Readme for all
platforms,
IMHO not much more is needed to go public with the hotfix. Therefore
I've created a draft version of the hotfix download webpage:
http://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-
patch1/hotfix.html
Please review and tell me your feedback.
[orcmid]
I have a number of items. I can fix the URLs in (2) below after I
have updated the Windows set.
1. This is worded as if it is the advisory. I assume this is,
rather, something that should be linked to from an update of the
advisory. I request that it be a description of the HotFix. It could
link to the advisory, of course. RECOMMENDATION: Have the emphasis be
on this describing release of the hotfix for CVE-2016-1513.
OK, seems indeed not clear enough.
2. Download and Installation. Currently, this page is at
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-
patch1/hotfix.html>. It has *ABSOLUTE* URLs to the binaries and source
and the various hashes. WHEN GENERAL DISTRIBUTION OCCURS, this page and
all of the binaries and source pages will be at
<https://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.2-patch1>.
Please remember that it's just a draft of what is available at the
moment. ;-) That's why the URLs for source and binaries differ already.
Of course all URLs will change when everything is available at dist/ and
no longer dev/.
RECOMMENDATION: In the Download& Installation table, make all URLS
*RELATIVE* to the HotFix page, since when it is staged to release and
then to archive, the links will always work.
NOTE. When we make general distribution, we stage the HotFix
HTML page and the binaries subfolder to
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/openoffice/4.1.2-patch1>
using SVN copies. In 24-48 hours or so that material will show up
automatically on archive.apache.org and we can make the general
distribution announcement. The dist.apache.org materials can be removed
when that happens. WARNING. The Windows material is not ready, and some
renaming will happen. That should all be done by the end of Tuesday
(GMT).
The current location of the hotfix webpage is of course is not the final
one. It will be there where the other webpages are: at w.oo.o.
I've just put it into SVN to have it not yet on the public OO website.
3. Next Step under Download and Installation. The README for
Windows addresses the way to Unzip and provides important information
about how the extract is into a folder of a default-determined name. I
don't know if the others provide comparable information and/or operating
from a terminal is assumed.
Yes, more (Linux) or less (Mac) it should be comparable.
4. How to verify the download& installation. Verifying the Zip is
sufficient. The table does not identify the files those check cases are
from so it is not at all clear what value this is. RECOMMENDATION: If
it is valuable, we should include the additional hashes inside the Zips,
and provide the size and time stamp information in the individual README
files.
Yes, right. "Old file" and "New file" is for sure not exact enough which
file it is about. And the other file-based data can be moved to the
Readme's, too.

<nitpicker>
Ahm, no. ;-) At the moment we have it at a single place. When we split
it into the 4 Readme's then we have 4 places to maintain.
</nitpicker>
But at the end you are right. The webpage contains some details that
should be moved to the respective Readme.
I'll finish the changes when I'm back from a trip on Thursday or Friday.
