+<PRE>Le vendredi 01 octobre 2010 &#224; 23:16 +0200, Olivier M&#233;jean a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> Le vendredi 1 octobre 2010 22:57:06, Maarten Vanraes a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; [...]
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; i don't understand, if you click the applet every time there's an update,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; then when there's a new version, the you also click the applet and it
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; updates... there isn't any real difference from a user pov...
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Have you ever tried ? I did once and broken (don't remeber when, 2009 &#8594; 2009.1
+</I>&gt;<i> maybe)
+</I>
+I do it for my server and it work. Now, that doesn't mean that it will
+work for everything, but as most packagers know, that's not a so easy
+task. And since no enough tests on this part are done ( ie, the QA test
+upgrade from default installation, some people test their own upgrade,
+but that's not enough ), there is possibly undetected bugs.
+
+Now the question is if people do not test version upgrade and report
+bugs, what make you think that a &quot;rolling release&quot; will be different ?
+
+More ever, since there is no real version to start the upgrade, how do
+you expect the packager to reproduce all upgrades bugs reports if they
+have to downgrade to a specific version of the distribution ( by
+specific being &quot;a snapshot of all rpms installed&quot; ) ?
+
+&gt;<i> And also it does not answer for OOo 3.2 not being available for Mandriva 2010
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> And finally, why waiting for a new version to update, can't it be done
+</I>&gt;<i> regularly ?
+</I>
+This requires work, that's simple. As I said numerous time in the past,
+thing do not happen by magic, someone has to do it. So far, I am quite
+unconvinced by the need to upgrade open office, vs the sheer amount of
+work this could mean. So you will need to convince someone else than me
+to do the work, or become a packager and do it yourself ( and take care
+of bug reports ).
