Hi all,
this is a call for vote on releasing the available release candidate
(RC) as Apache OpenOffice 4.1.0.
Another problem came up that looks serious enough so that I would like
to cancel this vote, if nobody objects. Juergen, who started the vote,
is on vacation today, so I need your help to do that.
The problem is described by issue 124599 [1]. Here is a summary:
When you install the RC on Windows then a previously installed version
(3.* and 4.*) is not removed. For versions 3.* this leads to a parallel
installation (because there are different installation paths). For
versions 4.* the files of the older version are overwritten but registry
entries and links on the desktop remain. If you install the RC on a
system with no prior installation of AOO then there are no problems.
This problem is caused by my patch related changes and is therefore
restricted to Windows. Linux and Mac are not affected.
I am currently working on a fix which will probably consist of a small
change in our Perl program for creating the downloadable installer.
That means that it requires an SVN commit and therefore a rebuild on all
platforms. So, even if Mac and Linux are not directly affected, they
still have to be rebuilt so that they report the correct SVN revision.
If you don't object to a cancellation of the vote then the current plan
is to provide a fix today, rebuild and upload tomorrow and re-start the
vote on the second RC on sunday or monday depending on how smooth this
process works.
Regards,
Andre
