The URL changed, that is right, but the following might be a little misleading, so I'd like to add/clarify on that: > There is an official release in US English and a few other languages at > http://download.openoffice.org/other.html All the official PPC releases come from ooopackges.good-day.net (Maho prepares them and uploads them to the good-day.net server) A release will be released as "official release" once a corresponding QA-Team did approve it. (native-language projects run the tests and then approve it (or not if there are serious problems with the build). When it is approved, the RC (release candidate) from good-day.net is simply renamed and pushed to the main mirror network. (This process is the same for other builds as well, the RC that is approved is renamed and then put on the main mirror network) The thing with PPC is just that other builds are provided by Sun/Oracle and they do QA for en-US, thus en-US version for other operating systems is immediately released/available, while the other languages have to be approved by the corresponding native-lang teams first (that sometimes leads to delays for some languages/operating systems. Especially Mac for PPC version lacks testers/feedback, so Mac/PPC version is always amongst the last to be approved/amongst those who will always stick with RC status just because nobody did test and approve that specific version) ciao Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
