I think you may be confused... we are just talking about community builds here, not anything regarding maintenance or modernizing AOO.
And, FTR, I can easily great 2 sets of Linux 32+64 builds: one set built on CentOS5 w/ gstreamer 0.1 and the other on CentOS7 w/ gstreamer 1.0. Is it "worth it"?... that's the question, I guess. But that decision doesn't impact how we keep AOO up to date or what features we add. > On Nov 10, 2020, at 8:27 AM, Peter Kovacs <pe...@apache.org> wrote: > > I am against keeping 4.1.x alive once 4.2.0 is production ready.
