Since I was the cause, let me explain what I tried to write, I think the work done is very good, and wrote so, and I do not think anybody asked for it to be deleted. My concern was the naming 4.1.2 early preview. Thats sounds official (not as an apache release, but you know that for AOO the binary is downloaded factors more than the release source tar ball) and I do not want a confusion to arise between what the release manager does and what individual committers does. I think Michael is doing a very important job with preparing builds for the upcomming release, his work is known here, so much more reason to be carefull when naming intermidiate builds. Andrea wrote it more direct, this is a michael build based on the 4.1.0 branch, this is totally correct and something a lot of people should test. So I do not think you missed a lot, but as always it is real difficult to write something without getting misinterpreted or misunderstood. rgds jan i. > -- > Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen > http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- Sent from My iPad, sorry for any misspellings.
