Hi Mechtilde,
There are developer snapshots available - if you follow the ML closely they are
discussed.
Have a look at this: http://www.raphaelbircher.ch/devsnap.php
Raphael has been making significant contributions to AOO since day one.
Andrew RIst and others have been working with Gavin from Apache Infra on
buildbots for several platforms.
Please see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4197
I agree that this information is hard to find. Someone should blog about it and
let people know...
This is indeed an on going project. I am trying to work with
infrastructure to get this up and running. As such, the infrastructure
team is a limited resource, and basically, we are waiting for our turn.
(right now they are dealing with other fires, like someone who uploaded
a 9GB website and pushed CMS right to the edge... DAVE ;-)
This is moving forward, a little patience is in order.
A.
Regards,
Dave

Hey,
you discuss about Release Plan and who are allowed to distribute
binaries with the name Apache OpenOffice.
But:
What should a user do?
There is no "official" binary available which anyone can install for
testing.
The DEB binary from http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/
can't be installed on a Debian 64 bit system.
I already described this problem at 17.12.2011 but nothing happened. As
Ariel described there must be an update of one programm on the buildbot.
Does Apache also want to release more than one plattform?
So we also need test binaries for these plattforms.
In my opinion this is an *absolute release stopper* not to have binaries
to test from "official" build maschines.
it's of course a serious problem where we have to find a solution. We don't
have the same infra structure as before and the release engineers did a lot
to ensure a common base line to support as many Linux versions as possible.
At this time there is NO other version for any plattform on
http://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/ available
Normally the office would come via the distro and would have been build for
the distro and the specific versions of the system libraries. This is much
easier and i hope we can achieve this state in the future...
There is NO version of Apache OpenOffice and there is NO version to test
it before a release.
For now we have to find another solution. We should update the build bot
machine if possible. You have already mentioned the note from Ariel. And it
would be probably good to have a 32 bit build bot machine as well. That
would help a lot and would probably address most the systems (an update
on Linux system is done quite often, isn't it)
It depends on the based distribution.
Debian oldstable ( ca. 3 years old IMO) contains e very newer version of
the epm programm than the one Ariel talked from.
We should define the exact switches that we use for our binary releases and
hopefully we can provide a set of builds on various systems for testing
purposes.
That's what I ask for.
There is definitely a lot of room for improvements, so let us start to
figure our out what works best and let us improve our build/release process
over time.
So when can we start to test the first binary coming from Apache?
Thats my question
Kind Regards
