In some sense, his builds are even cleaner than the "official" builds, but this is another story. If you log an issue against such a build (I would not even call it "not official", it gives too much of a "hacky" taste, in my opinion), just mention where you got the build from, to be on the safe side. The chances that is is really an issue with this build only are rather low. > A mystery to me why there are no official builds for every main > platform, and why they are hard to find, when it will be logical to get > them from some link in http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html > where you are guided to get "Snapshot Builds and Release Candidates" :-( One reasons mentioned to me offline: too few mirror admins could be convinced to hold both snapshots from the SRC680 (2.4) and the OOG680 (2.3.1) code line. Another one: Legal requires we keep a copy of every installation set we ever published - for at least 3 years. With, in average, one snapshot per week, released on 4 platforms, in multiple different languages, each set being more than 100MB - this adds to quite some space, wasted due to senseless legal requirements.
