 Are these the RC4 builds? I think it's a bad option not to name the RCs
 clearly. It is confusing that the file always has the same name (especially
 because the creation date is not visible on the server...)

The RC files are intended to be the same as the final release files if
the vote will be successful. The idea was to name the directory
accordingly but there was a technical problem.

Currently no files are available and the upload will start as soon as
possible (still technical problems on the server).

 I have checked a patch from Ariel related to issue 124701 that brings
 back some convenience for Linux and Mac user and I think it make sense
 to include this in AOO 4.1.

 Taking this into account and the not yet available RC4 I would like to
 propose a RC4 on revision 1589052 instead of 1587478.

 Integrated fixe for

 The latest reported problems with digital signatures can be solved with
 setting an additional environment variable on non windows platforms. A
 wiki page will be created to describe in detail what the user have to
 do. and the release notes will be updated as well. For now you can view
 issue https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124701 for some
 details.

 I would like to invite everybody with valid certificates to check and
 test this feature in detail and give us feedback.

Hi Juergen

The RC files are intended to be the same as the final release files if
 the vote will be successful.


I am well aware of that. But it *is* possible to have an installer named
4.1.0RC4 and if it is accepted just rename the file. LibreOffice does that.

When the final RC is accepted, the file is simply renamed.

This allows to have RC1, RC2, etc clearly identified instead of having to
guess which RC you are downloading or if the server has a new version.

Just my 2 cents...

guess which RC you are downloading or if the server has a new version.


Hi,

for most users the difference does not matter, but for QA testers with 
lots of downloads and installers on PC that helps to keep overview (I 
even would like to see the Revision in the filename).  If the RC has 
been accepted as Release the files can be renamed.


It's a cost / benefit calculation. If it can be done with few costs I 
would like to have at least th RC in the filename as suggested by Pedro.

Well I can see the benefit but I avoided the extra effort so far, will
think about an easy script to do it in the future.

This looks like an simple and acceptable workaround for the Mac/Linux users.

When I understand Herbert's last comment [1] correctly, then it sounds 
for me as a fix for the next release (4.1.1 or 4.2.0).
