No help possible with this from our side. [..] Gruß/regards The easiest way of doing things would be to have everyone download an ISO file for the current version of the project. That would mean downloading 3.8 GB, or so, of a file each time there is a new release of the ISO file. Some people may rather just have to download the changes/updated files instead of the whole DVD. This Archive Files/Folders option is a way for them to do that. Now the 3.3.2 version just came out. The only changes to the DVD would be the install folder, with the 3.3.2 fines install of the 3.3.1 files, the Install.html file, and any other HTML page that lists the version 3.3.1 instead of 3.3.2. So there will be one folder and a few HTML files. All the rest of the folders and files would be the same. So if someone wanted to build their own DVD from the files/folders, then all they would have to do is download the newly updated ones for version 3.3.2 and not download any other ones. The is 1.8 GB of files instead of 3.6 to 3.8 GB of a full ISO file. So for now, Drew has a link for an older snapshot of the DVD. As soon as the new install files are completely download, I will have him download whatever files/folders he would need to update his local folder and have him build the new DVD and place it on his portal. When everything is done on my end and I have the ISO file of the 3.3.2 DVD, I can upload it to someone's server for the people with TDF and LibreOffice-Box to have access to it locally to their server system. I am currently uploading all the new files to the online install folders. As soon as the RPM x86-64 files are downloaded to my local computer, I will upload them to our project's site, and then upload the new HTML files listing, and linking to, the 3.3.2 files. -- E-mail to projects+h...@libreoffice.org for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/projects/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi Tim, Well, I understand your line of thought and it's interesting. In actually I don't see it as a usage pattern that would benefit many people, but it worth talking about for sure. In my opinion, and for the moment at least, it's a bit bothersome to me from this one perspective - there are a few us right now updating and editing files, we are working against this one common set of files. Given our setup right now that is the only way to keep us all in sync - and I am doing daily backups of changed files, so there is at least a poor mans version control system. Right now having a second set of files that are supposedly in sync also just adds to our chances for banging over top of each others work, at least given the active level of change going on. I'm sure you got Jeff's mail from this morning regarding the User Documentation and the updates he will be making today to the files on your server. Beyond that: - all the files on the disc are now referenced from the HtML pages Now that there is a WANT to have all the .odt files for the versions that had only .pdf version on the document page. I have download all the .odt files I found and now I need to get them referenced on that page. Maybe in the next day or so. I looked at the Windows Only DVD and as I looked at the text in a few pages, I noticed a few misspellings. [quote] Deveoped by members of the LibreOffice community in North America. [unquote] Developed - the l is missing. I have some other text I have been working on, but have not uploaded it, yet. Has to stop to deal with lunch and with some instructions to me new aide. Will upload those typos edits soon. - ALL pages needing translation from German to English are done (Clean first drat at a minimum) and ALL the HTML has been scrubbed free of any googl-ism garbage (I think?) We took the German version and made a working English one. If LibreOffice-Box would like to take our English translation and use it towards their English version, I say go ahead and do it. Open items are I think down to - Templates, in the zip files - final vetting. - Finish work to html files for minor layout issues I am currently uploading all the new files to the online install folders. Ok - great. So if I could just follow up from my email of this morning. This is a good time to get the folks on the US list to review what we have and give some input/feeback o some of the inclusion questions. I just really think this archive directory idea is making extra work right now and I would rather see us focus on getting what is before us already finished.
