As this is our first beta release at Apache, I would like to clarify
some
things before it's maybe too late to change the facts and to prepare
webpages:
1. Target group
It is intended to be downloaded for the general public, right?
2. Hosting
We are planning to host the files at Sourceforge, right?
3. File names:
Of course the file names of the install files have to show a
difference
compared to the general release files. Suggestion:
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Beta_Win_x86_install.exe
*If* there is a need to publish another round, it could be extended
with a
number like:
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Beta2_Win_x86_install.exe
4. Directory structure:
Is it OK to expect to use the same dir structure like we have
currently for
4.0.1?
In general, yes, but please keep in mind that our Mac builds are now
64bit. I assume that the directories that contain the Mac downloads got
renamed (Servers are currently down so I can not check).
This is currently the complete path to the AOO 4.0.1 install files,
example for English US:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/4.0.1/binaries/en-US/
There is no part included to reflect the OS and I don't know of an
idea to do so. Or have I misunderstood you?
Looks like I assumed wrong. I had the directory structure of the
snapshot builds in mind, which obviously differ from that of the release.
So we only keep in mind that the names of the Mac binaries change (not
sure if that is relevant).
That's true. Will keep in mind.
Marcus
The above makes sense to me.
5. Download webpage:
Is it OK to expect to offer the download on our main download webpage?
http://www.openoffice.org/download/
If yes, I can build up a download offer like we have for the green
box. To
ease the download as best as possible.
I would not make this the default download option for users. We still
want most users to download AOO 4.0.1. So keep the first box on
/download.html as it is now.
Maybe a yellow box (yellow == caution) with language that makes it
clear that this is beta and gives the URL for reporting bugs.
Were you thinking of a language/platform switch logic for the beta?
Or just a link to a "beta_other.html" page with a table of links? If
we do the table, then we would have room on the same page to give a
prominent warning, a link to BZ, Release Notes, etc.
Thanks!
