I'm well aware of that, Tom ;) You are preaching to the choir... I know I can add Feature Requests to the Bug Tracker (which is absurd by itself... all sourceforge projects have separate trackers...), but I think my time is better used in helping LibreOffice users :) Tom wrote: > > Sadly most of us on this list have no idea about what issues have led devs > to do things the way they do. > And that is the biggest problem in this community: the separation between the users and the devs. Tom wrote: > > Also if you just suddenly pop-up on the devs list and demand they change > all their working practices they wont take it too kindly and may even > become hostile. I'm also aware of that. That is why I unsubscribed from the Dev list. They left it pretty clear that the Dev list is for Devs. Regards, Pedro -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Which-RC-version-tp3497781p3499562.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Which RC version?
Hi :) You can always post it as a bug-report. There is no harm in that. People don't need permission from the Users List in order to post bug-reports. Just post it. I think the guide suggests asking the Users List or other places first just in case there is something we can do to help fix a problem. As a user you might find something that appears horrendous but is actually quite trivial to fix. I think you are possibly taking your first steps into being a dev. It is good to have ideas and argue them out because it often leads to either innovation or a deeper understanding of why things are the way they are. Either way it's a win. Sadly most of us on this list have no idea about what issues have led devs to do things the way they do. Also if you just suddenly pop-up on the devs list and demand they change all their working practices they wont take it too kindly and may even become hostile. A bug-report might be a way of quietly introducing the idea to them. Regards from Tom :) --- On Fri, 11/11/11, Pedro wrote: From: Pedro Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Which RC version?

That is why I suggested to modify the name of the installer instead to include the build number e.g. LibO_3.4.4rc1_Build401_Win_x86_install_multi.exe Also renaming the installation folder using the same logic to LibreOffice 3.4 (Build 402) Installation Files instead of the current LibreOffice 3.4 (4eb10e5c) Installation Files would help a lot, inclusively to know which old installation folders to delete and to keep. E.g. I might want to keep build 400 which worked for me (in case I need to go back) but not 401 which had a bad bug... Can this be put to consideration?

Am I wrong if I guess you want to see RC1 or RC2 in the name of the version ? I think it is not a good idea because the stable version is bit-for-bit identical to RC2.
