Bertrand, these last two paragraphs broke my email compiler with the following errors/warnings: :-) - “non-standard places” and “release reviewers” are undefined. - the compiler also raised warnings while parsing “I don’t think”, “might raise questions” and “less of a problem”, stating that those were ambiguous. Now, seriously, I think it could be a good idea to talk to those “release reviewers” and ask them what the possible problems could be. That way we could start working on a solution that avoids those “less problems” in the future, as well as the one stated in your last paragraph, here: > > Downloading binaries from locations which have an uncertain future > (like hg.netbeans.org/binaries IIUC) means people might be unable to > build NetBeans in the future, and that's not good, just from a > practical and sustainability standpoint - so might be frowned upon as > well, but less so for a first incubating release. > > -Bertrand Un abrazo, Antonio
