But we should make sure we understand which items are truly an infra resource issue versus which ones are blocked for other reasons. For example, the issue with signing certificates is not because of the cost of a certificate. It is blocked because we have not come up with an acceptable process for handling and applying the code signing in a way that satisfies Infra's security concerns. I thought it was clear that the first step to resolve this was to have our binary distributions built completely on the buildbots, in their final form, including all languages. Once that is done then we could discuss more about how to add code signing. -Rob > So, feel free to discuss the "Infrastructure wishlist" here and I will then > include it in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/2013+Apr > for consideration by the Apache Board (we will probably ask Infra to take a > look too before sending). > > Regards, > Andrea. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
