 why is it necessary to have distribution specific builds for testing?

AFAIK Kendy want to get rid of universal builds anyway.

 is there a lack of documentation of how to install this locally without
 system integration for testing purposes?  if so, please tell me where to
 add documentation :)

No, what would be nice though would be dedicated calls for testing through your
distros information channels telling people that this is the canonical way to
do beta testing for LibreOffice on your distro. Doing a PPA release for me
generates a lot of small articles like:

 http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/libreoffice-360-beta-1-released-ubuntu.html

calling for testing. Having that from Fedora too would be nice.

Best,

Hi all,

here are the minutes of todays QA call.

attending: Florian, Petr, Rainer, Bjoern

pending action items:
   - write update scenario testcase in Litmus/MozTrap (Kendy)
   - Set Cor up with the Community/Forum maintainers at the distros
 to better propagate Hackfests, Bug Hunting Sessions etc.
 RedHat, Debian, Gentoo still missing
+  - Invite active bugwranglers to next call/QA list, CC Rainer (Bjoern)
   - merge 3.5 and 3.6 in one big bibisect repo (Bjoern)
   - recheck and tweak bibisect details (Bjoern)

completed action items:
   - Update/Create active triagers wiki page (Cor/Rainer) dropped
   - collect further ideas for spending a dedicated resource (Cor/Rainer)
 mostly finished, BoD request approved
   - update bugwrangling docs to say CC instead of assign (Rainer)

structured manual testing (Yifan/Petr):
   - no news

bug wrangling (Rainer):
   - Board of Directors approved budget for Bugzilla improvement, pending SPI
 (Bjoern)
   - Bugzilla improvements (Rainer)
 - priorities: performance, OpenID, reporter confirmation, extensions,
   OpenHatch/MediaWiki, version nagger (Bjoern)
 - search email improvement a la SUSE bugzilla would be useful (Petr)
AI:  - research how it is done on SUSE/if there is a ready-to-use-extension for
   it (Petr)
 - MediaWiki integration would be useful in general bug now prefixes
   EasyHack everywhere (Rainer)
AI:- Ping cloph if we can make that switchable to say Bug instead of
 EasyHack when explicitly requested (Bjoern)
   - bugzilla LibreOffice version format
 - long thread on the list
 - conclusion: go with 3.6.0.0.beta1 style(?), starting with 3.6.0.0.beta2
AI:- authoritive close of thread (Rainer/Petr)
AI:  - adapt script to new version theme (Markus)
   - localized bug reporting (question via Olivier Hallot)
 - we could set up a component for that (Rainer)
 - needs quick and reliable translators
 - will preduce lots of dupes (Bjoern)
 - will be problematic if feedback from the reporter is needed (Bjoern)
 - alternative: defer to the local mailing list and let an english speaker
   file the bug as proxy

automated testing and review (Bjoern/Norbert?):
   - gerrit/tinderboxes
 - still has to consider all the consequences (Petr)
 - 1 day from tag to mirror -- we shouldnt prolong that (Petr)
   - indeed, gerrit should be a tool to use sensible -- it shouldnt stop
 inertia. only use it when it makes our life easier. (Bjoern)
 - dailies should always be build from tip of master, not including patches
   pending review
 - lots of conflicting opinions/views about tinderbox capabilities:
   - we can build and test every commit on linux
   - tinderbox with l10n has a 12 hour turnaround (that is ~50 commit steps)
 - Can we switch l10n off? (Florian)
   - discussion somewhat warped by these different assumptions
  
community building/communication (Cor?):
   - beta testers for 3.6.0 beta 1
   - 3.6.0 beta 1 available in ppa (Bjoern)
 - Wheres a good howto? (Florian)

What we always do for Fedora is build the betas into rawhide i.e.
to-be-Fedora-18. So our 3.6 builds will appear there soon.
(http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libreoffice/)

We don't build parallel-installable-with-3.5 builds for earlier stable
Fedora's or anything like that. In this cycle Fedora 17 will move along
the 3.5.X series and Fedora 18/RHEL-7 along 3.6.X.
