Of course one person could perform the tests for multiple versions, but yes: Every single installset requires a "passed QA, distribute it on the mirrors"-statement from the corresponding tester. Only then the release-candidate is promoted to the final version. To what extent tests are performed is up to the corresponding team (although tere are standardized testcases that can be used as basis) >>> The requirements for the mac version on the main website are clearly >>> wrong. >> >> URL please > > http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_30.html Thanks. >>> I would like to volunteer my machine for any purposes needed. >> >> "only" your machine, but also your time? >> In the latter case, you could do the release-tests for your language >> (spanish?) so that the build can be officially released. > > Yes my time as well!

Mac users in general are very, very bad at giving feedback unfortunately :-/ Only when you meet them in person (at exhibitions or something), they start complaining ;-) (My not very well founded expression gathered soley within the OOo-project) > [...] > >> And for this combination, I already have one specific issue to test in mind: >> http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92926 > > I will be taking a look at this bug for sure. Tthanks a lot! - Just tell me whether you need an installset or whether you'll build your own version (i used DEV300_m61 as basis for the patch) > I will look into getting in contact with said devs to grant them ssh > access. The ones I have in mind are Herbert Dürr (hdu), Philipp Lohmann (pl) and Stephan Bergmann (sb) But I guess it is easier to handle it on a case-by-case basis, shouldn't be needed that often. > I should have plenty of bandwidth to be sending logs.

Yes, that's definitely enough, the question is mainly because of the difference between tinderbox and buildbot, but with that bandwidth both are possible. ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mac-unsubscr...@porting.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: mac-h...@porting.openoffice.org
