The torrents are autogenerated from the files that are distributed using the OOo-mirror-network. What's not mirrored on these servers is not available as torrent. As simple as that. > There is no QA going on yet. Well, the mirror-network only adds QA'd builds, so you either have to beg an exception (and I wonder why there should be an exception). If you have a server that seeds the builds, then the torrents could use the OOo-trackers. > >>>Which builds did you test ? > >> > >>Can't test it until 1) it is distributed and > > > >That's the wrong sequence. > > No, it's the only sequence.

You wrote you filed an issue to add the builds to the mirror network. Within that issue there are the links to the builds. Download these builds, test them and approve them.

Apparently your problem is that you don't read. /me doesn't like to waste time writing the same stuff I already wrote in the last post. ciao Christain -- NP: Silverchair - Anthem For The Year 2000 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
