Hello Kay,

First, please ignore the post I sent just now, the approach I talked about won't work for the home page, but we may want to think about what to do with some of the much older version, e.g. 2.4.1. I don't even think they're linked right now. OK, on to this post.

latest with the coming 3.1 the older 2.x versions are just maintainance releases. They are available and can be reached/downloaded and thats it.

My opinion is that we shouldn't put much effort into this.

Hello Kay,

IMHO there shouldn't be any problems when:

a) putting the other variables in it.
b) move the file to download.openoffice.org
a) renaming VERSION into STABLE_VERSION and modifying the other HTML websites respectively.

Again, OK, but I think this difference would apply only to folks wanting to download development versions, and I'm not sure if this would come into play with our normal download.

I would like to have the renaming to identify for what the variable is when we have a lot more in the future.

OK, I did just add several "versions" and other variables you spoke about to globalvars.js which is now in the download area if you want to take a look. Or, if you want to try to use them.

The globalvars.js is in your playground, right? Can you please add the file to the root directory of "download.openoffice.org"? Then I can test this with the "download.openoffice.org/test" websites.

I can change the index page of say download.openoffice.org/2.4.2 to use the new js file for a rather non-harmful test. My only concern IS that each of these old index pages will need to be manually changed when we go to newer versions. I don't like this really, but can't come up with a working alternative at the moment.

Yes, I know that some annoying changes are coming to us but I don't see an alternative, too. ;-(

BTW, to create the "next" website was also a reason to get rid of the many 680er links that are wide spreaded all over the OOo websites. Now we have to go all the other websites and do a find & replace, starting with "download.openoffice.org/index.html" ...

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Marcus
