The openoffice-2.0-devel= =20 port is based on the latest OO source tree. This means that it's pointing=20 towards 2.1. Since the source is always changing (in development), it would= =20 not be a good release candidate (for testing) prior to a 2.0.X release. In simpler words, the RC are correctly put in openoffice-2.0 so that people= =20 (like me) can test and point out the problems of a frozen code tree (or=20 release candidate) prior to the release of 2.0.X, contrary to -devel which = is=20 always in development. Hope this explanation helps,=20 Nicolas. =2D-=20 =46reeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Sun Sep 17 10:21:02 EDT 2006 =20 nicblais@clk01a:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CLK01A=20 PGP? : http://www.clkroot.net/security/nb_root.asc --nextPart1632083.vP5vusIiVB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBFDbw74wTBlvcsbJURAqNnAJ980aZheecpqlJTeU3+iX+BXqqshACfWNvc NdMeHh+DKvaOl3ac5mi0qHI= =RnDJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1632083.vP5vusIiVB--
