[PROBLEM] General Availability of ApacheOpenOffice 4.1.2-patch1 Hotfixes
There is a problem with the README files for Windows not being populated to archive.apache.org. I suspect it has to do with the file name beginning with README, since the files such as Linux32.README.txt populated to the archive area just fine. To rename the files everywhere is going to be a serious regression risk. Instead, I am going to copy the three Windows README files (en-US, de, and nl) to openoffice.org in the folder for security bulletins. They will be linked to directly from hotfix.html. The hotfix.html file will be updated to locate those README files in that location once they are present. Then I will complete this long and winding road with the updated advisory. - Dennis > -Original Message- > From: Dennis E.
