sorry .. biut reading your comments at the issue, there ar simply wrong expectations about what an RC really is. As of stated several times at the issue, an RC is supposed to behave exactly as the final version would do. When building an RC, we *think* it is stable (that's why it behaves like the final version). But we need to do some tests to be shure. If no errors are found, the RC would become the final version .. that means, the final version is *exactly* the same as the aproved RC. If an RC ould not behave as the suppoesd final version, we would need to do a repackaging after testing the RC. But as the repackaged version would not be the same as the testet RC, we cannot be shure, if errors have been introduced by the repackging process .. so we would need to do some testing again. That means .. we would need to have to mark this repackaged version as "not ready for production use", although it would install as 2.0.2 final. *sigh* and we would run in circles. btw .. for "testing snapshots" Sun release engineering provides snapshots that install as OOo-dev .. and could be installed as separate version without any problems. andré -- "Feel free" mit GMX FreeMail!
