[qa-dev] New: OOo-Dev3.1 developer snapshot build OOO310_m2 available
Hello QA team, developer snapshot build OOO310_m2 which installs as OOo-Dev 3.1 has been uploaded to the extended mirror network. The rename of the product name to OOo-Dev allows the installation of the OpenOffice.org snapshot parallel to an OpenOffice.org 'final' (released) version. If you find severe issues within this build please file them to OpenOffice.org's bug tracking system IssueTracker and if you think it is a show stopper issue for the 3.1 release then please notify the relea...@ooo mailing list. Please take the following link: http://download.openoffice.org/next Best regards Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@qa.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@qa.openoffice.org
[qa-dev] New download location for Developer Builds, Release Candidates and Beta versions
Hi all, we have build a new location for downloading unstable builds like Developer Builds, Release Candidates and Beta versions: http://download.openoffice.org/next Because I'm dealing with uploading OOo builds together with Joost Andrae, I've seen that we have to change much data in several files to make an upload public and downloadable. So I had the idea to simplify this much more. When looking at the main download site (http://download.openoffice.org) it is quite simple to get the newest stable release. The platform and language will be taken from your browser and together with the version data a respective link will be offered for a one-click-download. Now when you think how to download Dev Builds, then the current situation is really uncomfortable and needs to be improved. So, I've started to think about this and have also written a proposal and some comments in the website-dev mailing list (http://website.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=10396) and releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=13111). Ivan M. was that good with coloring the links and created appropriate arrows, so that the website is similar to the main download site and Kay Schenk is still helping with Javascript work. Frank Mau has helped to get the one-click-download technology behind it to work. What are the advantages for all of us: * You need to know only one location for getting unstable releases (Dev Builds, RCs, Beta). * The Look & Feel is the same like the main download site, so you don't need to search for your link to download. * Only one location needs to be updated to make the newest builds available. * Only a few data needs to be changed instead of 1-3 websites completely. * No longer any dependencies regarding version numbers in links and URLs. Today we would like to point you to the website for testing. All is working but do not see it as finalized, so more changes are still possible. We would like to know your feedback. Do you like the easier way to get the newest Dev Builds? Do you have any suggestions what could be made better? Do not hesitate to tell us on the mailing lists. Thank you very much in advance for your support. Best regards Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@qa.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@qa.openoffice.org

Maybe a possibility to provide someone a direct link to his/her language version of the build. But I am not sure, if this is possible to integrate it as well ... :( > Thank you very much in advance for your support. Thank you (and the others) for this promising looking new site :) Have fun Thomas. -- Plots are like girdles. Hidden, they hold your interest; revealed, they're of no interest except to fetishists.

Hi Marcus, to be honest I don't like the download link "next". In my opinion "latest" or "unstable" would be better for developer snapshots and release candidates. Please take the following link: http://download.openoffice.org/next Kind regards, Joost - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@qa.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@qa.openoffice.org

Answer to question 1: Yes, I like it. To 2: a. A possibility to get CWSes there as well. I think theoretically yes, but CWSes are normally not completely build and not for all platforms. For special purposes we are doing this already, e.g., for localization. But if you want to have all CWSes for download, then I think it would be a great effort for a small benefit. Spreading the builds and files over the mirror network is taking several hours, sometimes 24h or longer. For dev builds and others it's OK because they are "surviving" some days until the next is coming. But CWSes don't live for such a long time. After they got integrated into a milestone, they are normally no longer interesting. But that's just my non-developer point of view. ;-) b. Maybe a possibility to provide someone a direct link to his/her language version of the build. But I am not sure, if this is possible to integrate it as well ... :( There is a smaller link below for the milestone: "Get more platforms and language packs, SDK builds and source tar balls" which opens another webpage with all builds and other stuff. So, this should suit your needs. HTH Marcus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@qa.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@qa.openoffice.org

Hi Thomas, link will be offered for a one-click-download. Out of interest: What happens if someone is using a proxy (or something like the Tor-network) or has configured his/her browser to lie about its name/version?
