Hi all,
I just wanted to clarify what we want or plan to release.
Platforms
=========
I plan to release Windows, Linux, MacOS
FreeBSD is handled separately directly form the BSD guys
Solaris, I am unclear about the current status. I saw the developer
snapshots but haven't test it on my own because I have no Solaris
machine nor a VM right now. but I noticed that the build are prepared
with "--disable-mozilla" which will disable some important features. If
we want release it we should build with the pre-built mozilla libs and
should test it.
Products
========
For the developer snapshots we built an English and a multilingual
version + various language packs.
For our first final release I would like to provide at least full
install set for the languages that we have already supported for the dev
snapshots and potentially more language packs for other languages on
demand and we have check the translations
Languages
=========
en-US de fr es it ja zh-CN pt-BR nl
More languages packs when we have verified the translations and when we
have volunteers who are interested to test these languages. Means we
need volunteers from the local communities who are able to test these
languages. When we see enough support we can also provide full install
sets. We have to figure that out over time. I am not sure right now.
Some numbers about the required space
=====================================
A first rough estimation about the required space. We would need round
about ~8,5GB for a proposed release for the 4 platforms (Windows, Linux
(x86, x86-64), MacOS) and 9 languages.
It can grow quite fast if we want release Solaris as well and more
languages.
Source Releases
===============
aoo-3.4-src.zip = ~373MB
aoo-3.4-src.tar.gz = ~312MB
aoo-3.4-src.tar.bz2 = ~250MB
asc, md5, sha1, sha512 files = ~3K
Size = ~935MB
MacOS
=====
dmg = ~160MB
number of languages = 9
asc, md5, sha1, sha512 files = ~10K
Size = 9 * 160MB = 1,44GB
Windows
=======
download exe = 109MB
number of languages = 9
asc, md5, sha1, sha512 files = ~10K (not verified yet)
Size = 9 * 109MB = 990MB
Linux
=====
x86
rpm.tar.gz = 139MB
deb.tar.gz = 138MB
number of languages = 9
asc, md5, sha1, sha512 files = ~20K ((not verified yet))
Size = 9 * 138MB + 9 * 139MB = ~2,5GB
x86-64
rpm.tar.gz = 148MB
deb.tar.gz = 147MB
number of languages = 9
asc, md5, sha1, sha512 files = ~20K (not verified yet)
Size = 9 * 148MB + 9 * 147MB = ~2,6GB
I will contact infra structure team and will clarify if that will be a
potential problem. And I will clarify what necessary to be prepared for
the expected download traffic.
Any opinions on this approach?
Juergen
