Hello, thanks for the answer sry, I think perhaps that I have misunderstood the RC-label with RC I mean the final build that is going to be released for distribution >> The platforms that we >> currently tests are: linux intel (deb+rpm), windows and hopefully soon >> mac > > All X11 Mac builds are currently produced by maho and placed on the > FTP server at > ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/ yes, but there are builds on pavels server as well, are there any difference >> we also would like to ask if it is possible to distribute >> our own iso (boundled windows-installer, java and documentation) >> over the >> mirror network ... suppose that this should go via the qatrack as well > > There will be no problem adding them to BitTorrent for distribution. > It might be an issue for adding them to the full mirror network. well, my impression is that the common user in denmark isn´t familiar with torrent-downloads but if this is the option, thay have to learn it or does "might be an issue" mean that it is something we need to talk about and just another question. I have got the impression that it is a requirement to have an approved entry on qatrack before you request new builds to be published on the mirror network am I wrong?
