About Solaris platform, maybe you can come in my build machine,
manipulate and use it to build and test these version.
Are you willing to do?
I have currently more than enough to do with all the other stuff. I
think it should be not so difficult and the building guide should
provide the necessary info.
You have to provide the moz pre-build libs in moz/zipped and have to use
the --disable-build-mozilla switch.
And of course we should ensure the the install sets are tested!!
Well many people complained about Sun/Oracle in the past but the
machinery in the background did a lot to simply provide the builds and
do the required QA.
This is now different and we as the community have to achieve it.

2012/2/28 Jürgen Schmidt<[email protected]>:
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?
