I'm all for this ... it co-incides with the next planned
RTP (QNX/Photon) patch so it would time in well with that.
Still to be discussed is the future loss of SourceGear
as an AbiWord support hub (ie with the build farm,
cvs servers & cvs tools etc). I know that Sam had
at one point presented a different model for binary
releases (I think he did anyway) ... do we want to
take a dry run at this with the 0.7.12 release?
In addition to this, as a platform parity attempt, it
would be nice to have a small test matrix that people
testing the pre-release binary distributions could
check against to make sure that features aren't left
out. This would be a scaled/pruned down of the larger
system matrix which I think that Bob has for testing.
Even if we don't fix the discrepancies, they would
at least be highlighted for the next release.
Thoughts? Comments?
