Hi, Following a conversation with Yonathan, I decided to check out the latest sources directly from the CVS repository (by the way: Yonathan, I'm still waiting for the instructions... ;-).
All my Linuxes were too full to download a so huge package (about 0.5GB *BEFORE* compilations), so I pointed my WinCVS at it, and checked out the "all". Then I investigated the latest modification dates of the source files (*.c, *.h, *.cxx, *.hxx, *.java, *.pl, *.idl, *.src, *.hrc), and found an amazing thing: The latest public snapshot was 643C on November 21. Since November 22 till December 20, 2292 source files were modified (79 files per day). Since December 21 till January 12, 29 source files were modified (1.26 files per day). I know that there were some days of holidays etc., but it still doesn't explain the huge difference. So what is the explanation? 1. Did the capacity of OpenOffice.org developers dropped by 99%? 2. Did Sun fired all of them when it cut 4000 employees (in mid Dec.) and nobody told us? - or - more meaningful for us - 3. Did they just move to another repository? Yonathan (or anybody else): If you have any idea where all the latest updates are kept, please let me know immediately; It's critical for us, to have something before the travel of Yonathan to Germany. By the way: among the 29 files that were modified recently, there are some that deal with RTL (!). However, I suspect that they belong to the testing stuff, so no functionality and/or behavior is expected to change.
