Issue Tracker is not an efficient way of establishing communication on
non-technical decisions and was not intended to it and for each issue we have to
have a different report.
The universal installer was dropped because it was hard to maintain. We hadn't
people to still developing it and to test on different platforms.
It's too hard to understand we're lacking resources?
The project have to maintain old releases in the servers, because some users
have to use an older release for some reason (a bug in newer releases that
doesn't allow them to open a document, for instance).
We already are dropping the releases too early, because we're providing new
major versions quickly.
All of you have to understand the comments on the issues aren't read by almost
anyone.
The issue exists to tell there is a problem, you can cite it, etc.
You may want to check the "discuss" list if you wanna a discussion with a great
visibility:
http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html
There are more people in the "releases" list than here listening to this thread
and were told to discuss it there, everyone were able to join.
It already has been discussed there, so it would be better use the "discuss"
list first, mentioning this issue.
Another thing: as already said a lot of times, a tar.gz can be created from the
RPM files, you can see it in the comments of bug 44102.
Supporting a new package officially also means a lot more of efforts to test it
and assure it works, as the packaging may include some bugs.
About the universal installer, as the project is made up from volunteers, we
don't have anyone interested in making one right now. We have a lot of important
issues to resolve.
I'm reopening this one for the complaints.
