Is there a reason that the README in the source release is still pointing at
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/MacOSXBuildInstructions for Mac Builds?
Minimally this then points to http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/AquaBuild this
doesn't seem exactly like what was used for 3.4.0?
Would someone check the Build instructions and then update to be very clear
what is current.
I am proceeding with my tests as if the prerequisites have not changed and that
I have them from my AOO 3.4 tests build.
I am stuck and I am stopping. I am very unhappy with the instructions on the
WIki page. I needed help with 3.4 and now I need help with 3.4.1.
Please show me the simplest way to build on a Mac from Source and show me on
the Wiki based on http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/MacOSXBuildInstructions
BTW - Remember that SOURCE is the ONLY OFFICIAL RELEASE.
That is your opinion, expressed loudly; it is not Apache or IPMC
policy. We are officially voting on binaries as well and these are
being inspected and these will be part of the official release. The
IPMC doc calls the source artifacts "canonical", but the same docs
talk about binaries being included in the official release as well.
In fact, it says of binary packages, "For some projects, this makes
sense. For others, it does not." Obviously you have your own opinion
on this, but it is equally true that the vast majority of PPMC members
have a different opinion.

Rob,
Please consider the blistering email from Roy T. Fielding, to
general@inc and to infra, on 3/27, 05:50, opposing "released' binaries.
IMHO, he will need to change his mind. OTOH, he is a founder and board
member ...
(Sorry for no neat refs; I keep my own archives :-) )
/tj/
(I really don't want to -1 this release.)
Regards,
Dave
Thanks & Regards,
Dave

Hi all,
this is a call for vote on releasing the following candidate as Apache
OpenOffice 3.4.1 (incubating). This will be our first bug fix release
after the AOO 3.4 from May 8th. A further milestone to show that we
deliver good and stable software with focus on quality. It will again
help to continue the success of OpenOffice.org and will gain confidence
in OpenOffice.
This time I did not prepare a separate page to highlighting the release
candidate. We had developer snapshot since several weeks and the latest
one based on revision 1372282 is intended to become released if the
voting succeeds. That means and to make it clear you vote here on the
final release based on this snapshot build.
This release is intended to be a bug fix release and to introduce some
further languages:
(1) 71 issues are fixed and a detailed list can be watched under
http://s.apache.org/Huv.
(2) 5 further languages are now officially supported: British English,
Khmer, Slovenian, Slovak, and Finnish.
For a detailed feature overview please see the release notes under
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4.1+Release+Notes.
The release candidate artifacts (source release, as well as binary
releases for 20 languages) and further information how to verify and
review Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1 (incubating) can be found on the
following wiki page:
hhttps://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds#DevelopmentSnapshotBuilds-AOO3.4.1
Please vote on releasing this package as Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1
(incubating).
The vote starts now and will be open until:
Saturday, 18 August: 2012-08-18 2:00pm UTC+2.
After the vote of the PPMC the vote will start on
[email protected] mailing and will be open for further 72 hours.
But we invite all people to vote (non binding) on this RC. We would like
to provide a release that is supported by the majority of our project
members.
[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache OpenOffice 3.4 (incubating)
[ ] 0 Don't care
[ ] -1 Do not release this package because...
