Re: [libreoffice-users] Downloading LibreOffice

Yesterday, I was told that the upload will be going to the mirrors, but 
not given any idea about how long it would take. I stated a "few days" 
since it took that long with my last upload.

For me, I need to wait a few days after the 3.5.5 comes out, before I go 
after the 99 "items" and 2.1 gig of files for it, if you also get a 
3.5.5 portable version[s] as well.  So I do not go after it the first 
few days when the mirrors might be more busy.  But it will then take a 
bit to edit the DVD[s] to go to 3.5.5 from 3.5.4, but less time than it 
would be to go from 3.4.6.

I run Ubuntu 10.04/GNOME and 12.04 [with MATE], along with a few windows 
system.  I wish 10.04 would go to the newer LO line as 12.04 does.  It 
would be easier to do the updating then.

The real thing about my DVD is that you can take it and then redue it to 
be more towards your needs.  The real part of the "plan" was to have a 
single disc that includes almost everything that a new user might need 
with his/her install of LO, including every dictionary, thesaurus, etc. 
extension in every language version found.  Then there are the templates 
and gallery extensions.  Then all of the documentation files - now with 
3.3, 3.4, and/or 3.5 version when available.  Then there was the extras 
like Firefox and Thunderbird, plus a few other packages that might be 
useful to the users.  So, you get 2.1 GB is all the install files, 
including help/language files in 8 languages.  Then the rest of the 
[now] 4.0 GB DVD [except the internal needs of the DVD web pages] is all 
the other "extras", 1.8 GB worth of files [over 600 of them].

At least I do not need to update all of that for every update of LO.  
But, as more 3.4 and 3.5 docs are available, I can remove the 3.3 
versions to save space.  As I find that the non-English dictionaries 
have updates, I will work on updating them.  I believe I did French 
[4?], German [4?], Spanish [20], plus a few more dictionary updating.  
Then I found a few updates to the extensions I had listed.  Thunderbird 
and Firefox got updated.  Though I do not own a Mac, I try to see if 
there are any Mac versions/updates of the "extra packages" I list in 
that page.  I cannot run those version, like I do with Windows and 
Ubuntu version, but I will list it anyway for our MacOSX PPC and 
Intel/x86 users.

I do a little at a time.

Just ask Tom about the "redesign" of my Install and Documentation pages 
in this version 5 of the DVD.  I may have a completely new "theme" of 
the pages by the time I release my first 3.6 line DVD, which may not be 
till 3.6.3 or 3.6.4. But, if I do it slowly and one page at a time, it 
is easier. There are still pages that have not changed since the 3.3.x 
DVD versions.  There was not real need, but may in a few months.
