Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22805
FAQ shows older version of OOo as latest stable release
Last modified: 2004-12-28 13:43:49 UTC
The General section of the downloads page contains outdated links to 1.1rc3 in the answer: The next release will be 1.1 and there are pre-releases available : Windows , Linux , Solaris
Hi, I could change the generated output myself but would prefer if you could review the source file and regenerate the files. Btw, are you monitoring issue filed against the component support? Greetings, Stefan
reassigning component to user-faq -Louis
ditto : argh
reassigning to CPH. Would you have a look? Thanks, Stefan
Link in latest http://user-faq.openoffice.org is now correct.
Hi, the links should point to http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.0/... Btw, would you mind to commit the corresponding version of support.sdw? Thanks, Stefan
Update to answer for faq #2815264 has been incorporated directly into the ar01s03.html at user-faq/www/faq. This FAQ also lives in two other places: http://www.oooauthors.org/FAQs/faqinstall/faqgeneraldownload/200, and http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/installation/002.html.
Links need to be updated so they point to version 1.1.4.
accepting task.
reassigning issue to mackmoon.
well... :) let's try that again, sam! i'll accept this issue as my to-do...
If you would like to avoid the need for an update with every minor version you may want to use a more general phrasing and link to http://download.openoffice.org/index.html#latest for the latest stable release.
The latest release question has been generalized in a way that still points the user to the information, so it will no longer needed attention at the time each new release. The Md5Sums answer has also been generalized to save release related updates. Other links on this FAQ page that point to version related information which may require updates for each OOo version released: http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s03.html#id2815120 A generalized blurb has been added to the answer here, to help if the existing data on the page becomes obsolete. The user-faq project page is fully updated and will be uploaded momentarily.
Found another question on this page that requires further attention: http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s03.html#id2811028
I think this user-faq page is now up to date. I will follow through to the other locations of these same questions, to verify that they are up to date (and more generic) too.
I believe all links to the current release in the product related FAQs are updated or generalized. Thank you for that generalized link to the latest release, Stefan. What I learned during this exercise was that neither the release notes questions, nor the MD5 checksum questions, from the user-faq project made it to the OOoAuthors.org FAQ set. Perhaps they were purged for some reason, or maybe they are placed somewhere that I have not yet found. Both of these FAQs seem important and helpful. This shows us that we still need to nurture the user-faq project FAQs, as there is good information there that is not shown in other places. This news is discouraging and makes the FAQ collaboration more difficult to organize into one place. I have now added a column to my FAQ spreadsheet that will eventually show all the FAQs (by number) at the user-faq project too. Maybe if I set up a column for each set, like a cross reference table, we will be able to see what is where, and where it is not. It will take some time to pull this data together so that it is useful. I'm marking this issue as fixed.
closing.
