No, Developer Snapshots are built weekly, last one is based on revision 1479864/ rev. 1479897 (this last one is the revision from the snapshot tag). > If so, fine but would help to know that as it does impact testing of > patches for those of us not rolling our own builds. > > Or is it just an unfortunate confluence of events between the build > bots and the hand posted work for our outstanding AOO developers? > > In any case the BuildBot site is a mess > ( http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/ ) with even the Linux > 64-bit now failing.

IMHO it is better to use the Developer Snapshots, and if a developer tells you that s/he has fixed the bug in trunk, wait for the next developer snapshot to confirm. Of course, you are free to download a nightly build, but as you've seen they are not always available. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
