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.
[orcmid]
LOL. I thought that is where you wanted to keep it [;<). Because it
is so specific to this HotFix, I think it would be great to leave it
with the downloads and the archive.apache.org site, but link to it from
openoffice.org.
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.
> That way there is no redundancy and the information is
maintained in
> exactly one place.
<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.
I want to change my mind:
Let's skip these changes and keep this in mind for the next time. I just
would do the Readme changes - that I've already suggested in a previous
mail - for Mac and both Linux *outside* of the ZIP file.
And then let's do the release. Otherwise we would go another leap and
another one and ... ;-)
What do you think?
[orcmid]
As you've seen, I did fix the links in the Hotfix.html page at the same time as
I added the shortened names that are now used in the 0.2.0 Beta binary for
Windows. So that page can move with the staging of the binaries from dev to
release (and automatically to archive).
I had stil lthe idea to move it to the download webpage area. But OK, we
can also keep it the dist/ area. It's really special.
I have made all of the changes necessary to update the Windows 0.2.0 Beta to a
1.0.0 release candidate or whatever we want to call a candidate for general
availability.
I can get that done in about 15 minutes. I have been holding back until there
seem to be no more changes and I can go ahead and Zip things up and provide the
necessary signatures and hashes.
OK
Let me know when you are ready and I will respond as soon as I see your message
(allowing for our sleep periods being offset about 9 hours [;<).
Ha, you are funny. I still need to work to get my refrigerator filled.
;-P . So, for me you have to add 20h or such.
