[Libreoffice-qa] New Bugzilla Branch Version Picker items – 3

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Hi all,

I am happy to see that we have a solution for the general problem, I 
will change picker texts with 3.6.0.0.beta2

The remaining problem is what we will do with

3.7.0.0.alpha1+    daily
3.7.0.0.alpha2+    daily
3.7.0.0.beta1+     daily
3.7.0.0.beta2+     daily
3.7.1.0.alpha1+    daily
3.7.2.0.alpha1+    daily
3.7.3.0.alpha1+    daily
3.7.4.0.alpha1+    daily
3.7.5.0.alpha1+    daily
3.7.6.0.alpha1+    daily

what are possible versions for the daily builds available during life 
cycle of 3.7 branch.

Those are a horrible lot of versions filling the picker with nearby 0 
reports/version (a "x.x.5" does not produce many regressions, and only 
few users will test dailies).

I would like to have a common "Branch Daily" in Bugzilla Version picker 
for these Versions, for example *"3.7.0.0.alpha++"* (this way only 
visible in Bugzilla, not in "Help About").

With acceptable workload it would be possible to create all those 
versions from above (also to have the possibility to use a Atom Feed 
"ticker" as "early warning system" and to shift them all to such a 
"3.7.0.0.alpha++" 1/4 year after life cycle of the branch has been 
terminated. So only 1 Branch version would remain for the picker instead 
of 10 (or so).

a) @petr:
Is my assumption concerning the "Daily" numeration (without remark 
"Daily" in "Help/About") correct?

@all:
Your Ideas?

Discussion please on <libreoffice-qa at lists.freedesktop.org>!

Best Regards
