Hi James, Cedric

there is one error left in the text - it concerns the
"meta"-script
adaption on Mac. I didn't get the solution yet but I'm
working on it.

page 12-13, chapter "ooo_relesetests". The
script isn't running as
expected, it stops after the first test because X11-terminal
don't know
"killall" and Terminal won't run the script at
all because of a missing
X11 display setting.

Are you sure ?

ordinateur-de-eric-b:~ ericb$ type killall
killall is /usr/bin/killall
ordinateur-de-eric-b:~ ericb$

And  /usr/bin should be in a normal $PATH ...  If you
prefer, replace  
killall with  /usr/bin/killall  ?

If I can, better use xterm than the awfull Apple Terminal.

IMHO, it would work really better than this ...Applery
called  
"Terminal" (simple, I never use it) 


Below, some tips for xterm :

1) to make xterm fonts readable :  CTRL+Right Click ->
select Huge  

2) Colors

If you want to use more efficient colors, create a file,
called "  
color.defaults ", put it in your $HOME , and write
inside what follows :

xterm-color*color0: Black
xterm-color*color1: Red
xterm-color*color2: Green
xterm-color*color3: Yellow
xterm-color*color4: Blue
xterm-color*color5: Magenta
xterm-color*color6: Cyan
xterm-color*color7: White
xterm-color*background: Black
xterm-color*foreground: Green


xterm*color0: Black
xterm*color1: Red
xterm*color2: Green
xterm*color3: Yellow
xterm*color4: Blue
xterm*color5: Magenta
xterm*color6: Cyan
xterm*color7: White
xterm*background: Black
xterm*foreground: Cyan


When done, save the changes and do :

xrdb color.defaults

and start again this xterm, choose huge fonts , and enjoy

OK - one step further.

Central Error is also found:

The Statements
 if ps -p $testtoolpid > /dev/null ; then
and
 while ps -p $testtoolpid > /dev/null ;

must be
 if ps -p $testtoolpid | grep $testtoolpid > /dev/null ;
then
and
 while ps -p $testtoolpid | grep $testtoolpid > /dev/null
;

because ps *always* returns a header and so without grep
*never* is
empty, so conditons always are true  

I'll change the text.

Oh, I love it.
Apple Terminal surely is more functional then X11 Term - try
just to
drag a File in a terminal window - in Terminal you get the
full path
typed, in X11-Term - nothing.
Copy and paste don't work in X11 at all...

So if you write documentation, Terminal is the better way

I'll try this also some day. By now, it works for me as it
comes.

Ok.  Do you have a fixed script?  I was going to start
running the tests
this morning, but I can wait until this evening, Phoenix
Time (yes,
those of us living in the State of Arizona, United States
have our own
time zone because we do not observe the time shift and have
not since 1972.)

Wait for an hour or so from now. Still testing.

I know about that - we have friends in Mesa and have been
there a couple
of times (You remember the two of the last ten years where
there was a
real cold and rainy Winter in AZ - these were the two times
we have been
there
(97/98 and 02/03)

Hi James, Cedric

I just uploaded a new version of the pdf-document with all
necessary
instruction to get ooo_releasetests.sh running well.

http://www.ooo.mynetcologne.de/Smoketests_auf_dem
_Mac-1.2de.pdf

there is also a
  chmod a+x ooo_releasetests.sh
you must do before the script starts. Its described on page
12 together
with the other changes.

Uwe:

I experience problems with using MacCVSClient as I keep on
receiving a
failure notification when running the checkout of the
qatesttool
module.  It may be due to something that I'm doing
improperly.  Any ideas?
