Because, unlike PortableApps, they do keep all previous versions available. This can be quite useful to find a regression. TDF as a PortableApps partner should keep all PortableApps versions. Unfortunately that sometimes fails http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/3.6.5.2/portable/ Luckily there are other backups http://ftp.uni-muenster.de/pub/software/DocumentFoundation/libreoffice/portable/ Even if PortableApps dropped the 3.6 branch, maybe wPP will still have a 3.6.6 build and also the upcoming 3.6.7 Keeping my fingers crossed :) Kieran Peckett wrote > I agree - for testing of older versions, paralell / server is the way to > go, but for people coming with questions about the portable version, I > think an archive should be made available. Indeed it should. But it seems that the wPP archive is a better bet. However this is useful not only for testing old versions and regressions. Here is a good use of a portable version from a (soon to be) discontinued branch http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/18402/can-libreoffice-read-staroffice-sdw-files/ -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Portable-vs-Parallel-which-one-is-better-tp4056781p4059190.html Sent from the QA mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
