2.3 is the stable release now, Petr just hasn't had a chance to move it over yet.
Having a release put off because 1 person "doesn't have time" is quite ridiculous.
Any volunteer is welcome ;-)
I would totally understand if the reasoning was because it is not considered fully tested / stable with Novell modifications, that would make more sense ,but to just have the release of a long anticipated OOo put off because someone "doesn't have time" just blows my mind..
I am afraid that OOo in the project OpenOffice_org:STABLE will always be a bit delayled after the upstream release because we need to stabilize the Novell (ooo-build) features. It might be even more delayed if there is an official openSUSE or SLED10 release around. Then the openSUSE or SLED10 release date is the right one for us... I would like to keep the OpenOffice_org:STABLE project really stable. I do not want to force people to download the big best every two weeks. So I really would like to wait for the final stabilized build and update it once per three months or so. This time, the upstream OOo and openSUSE release are very close. I do not plan any more fixes for 10.3. So, I have put OOo-2.3-based package in OpenOffice_org:STABLE yesterday. I might be wrong. People might want something else. I am open to discuss the schedules, ... -- Best Regards, Petr Mladek software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: pmladek@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 952 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
