This is the direction the comments are going in Kay's issue. Since the 3.4.1 Language packs are supplements to the 3.4.1 source release and will have incubator branding they will go into the incubator/ooo/ location. Some might think that we should be doing a full 3.4.2 with non-incubator branding, but no real need IMO. Regards, Dave > > Andrew
