Then the user > could override it with e.g. nightly versions by help of the `/usr/local/` > mechanics. > Please also remember: > https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196072 > https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211531 > The last point in last paragraph of: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/State+of+the+Apache+NetBeans+Installers -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
