I thought they just didn't care about Linux. m.w.c. To be honest, I once heard the figure of 87% of Linux users use LibreOffice as their office package. So yes we care about Linux users. I am a Linux users, for the most part, and the people here do their best to make use Linux users happy. The big push is to get more Windows users. We want them to feel LO is better for them that paying for MSO. I really wonder how many of our developers are actually Linux users first [their default system] and Windows users second, like myself. I think the issue of the final release having the RC label sometimes is due to the timing. We have a strict release schedule and there are a lot of different install files from the package itself to the help and language packs. That is a lot of files to change their names in one batch. Yes it would be better if the RC2 or RC3 was removed from the internal file names of each part of the Linux install. Does it affect the way the package works? No. Actually sometimes Linux is more confusing that Windows in the ways its packages are installed, over the way Windows does it. We pay the price of having a safer, less crashing, and free OS. But it is worth it most days. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] L.O. 3.5
Hi :) In Ubuntu the PPA version of 3.4.5 isn't rc. Maybe the team that makes it distro-specific changed the name slightly? I thought most popular distros have LibreOffice in their repos? I think a lot of people prefer to download from the official site rather than their repos even if they aren't using the ultra-latest version. I think "don't care" is the wrong way around. I think they expect Gnu&Linux users to be more like themselves and more familiar with the types of details that devs know well and point&click users such as us (well, me anyway) probably don't.

Is LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 same as final official release?
