that's the point: you either release it under Pavel's builds or under
the vanilla one. Pavel's builds are also fine, but they're not the same
and you need to be consistent.

You don't see an issue with having people downloading the official OOo
version (at least that's what they think they're doing) from
"mylinuxclasses.com"?

mylinuxclasses.com is not a mirror, this was used so they could take the build 
to the mirrors. Only one using this was for the release to the new bouncer. No 
user will be dealing with this server. I am not sure why you will think this.

That IS be the problem. And the second build as you call it, which is
OOo's build, set the resolution of the bugfix to the 3.2.1.

So 3.2.1 will be ready for release, right now 3.2.0 is NOT.

look, you can't have everything for free all the time. Sometimes things
do not work exactly the way you want. In this case, I think you were
too late in proposing a fix or even alerting the release team about the
problem. It was at RC 5 level, not at beta stage. Don't expect miracles at 
that moment if you haven't done the least before.


Are you saying I can't patch things myself? That is a ridiculous statement for 
a FLOSS project.

 
Charles.
