Re: [Libreoffice] Tinderbox naming

Hi Pedro,

Probably better to bring this to the development mailing list...

If it helps our QA guys, indeed, let's agree on a consistent naming;
we'll bring it as a topic at the tomorrow's TSC meeting.

But we definitely do not want to limit the amount of the tinderboxes.
The tinderboxes are operated by volunteers; it happens from time to time
that the some of the people do not have time to update a box when it
gets stuck or something, so it is always better to have more of them as
backup.

The situation when we did not have Windows builds for quite long was
extremely unfortunate, and I hope we'll be able to prevent that now with
the reasonably fast Windows tinderbox.

Hope that helps,
