Hi all,
as promised I thought about a new structure and have
created the following websites to ease the download of RC
builds:
http://download.openoffice.org/next/other_rc.html
http://download.openoffice.org/next/langpack_rc.html
Please have a look if the names of the languages are
correct. It's not easy to find the correct wording for so
many, so please bear with me. ;-)
Keep in mind that this is just a test to show you how it
could look like. It's not yet the final version (e.g., all
builds that are already released have to be deleted from
here, of course).
Once we have a final state I would update the index page
(http://download.openoffice.org/next), so that both new
websites can be found via links and make some
announcements.
Please tell me what you think about this.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Marcus

Hi all,
I think I haven't taken into account the many
differences with builds, testing and NL communities. So, I'm
sorry if anyone feels offend. This was not my intension or
to ignore the situation.
I'll think about what could be done to provide the
builds to the users (tested or not, released or not).
Because it's a very high number this will be not easy. And
take into account that someone has to maintain this monster
of list (7 platforms with 90+ languages). ;-)
Just wanted to take the chance to answer here early
before my absence the next week. Therefore please don't
expect to have a fast solution.
Best regards

+1 to the discussion.
Having a download page for all localized
OpenOffice.org language packs where two different
categories, one for "supported & tested" versions of
language packs and another for "beta & untested though
translated" versions of language packs, listed would solve
the matter I believe.

Hello,

Hi all,
Also, just out of my curiosity, can you
list recent
examples when a
fully localized national sdf with gsicheck
passed
successfully (no
errors nor warnings) did not work as
expected (like
crashed etc.)?
Yes, we have
E.g. the Polish Win version didn't start after
installing.
The goal of the NL version tests should be
that it is
usable for the
normal user and didn't have severe bugs which
are not in
the EN version.
It is not the goal that the NL version has to
be better
than the EN version.
Finally - as these tests are already
automatic in many
ways - could
not this process be automatized even
further, so that
with any RC
build the tests would be made
automatically by OOo
servers for all
available languages and the teams should
only go
through visual
(screenshots) and text results neatly
organized and
published on the
website (like a 3-5 minute job) and vote
either YES or
NO at the end?
The only prerequisite for teams would be
to fully
localize the tests
(another po file in the tree and in
Pootle) used by
this system.
The automatic tests cannot provide you for
such things like
described
above. But they can easy detect by some manual
tests
