Re: [libreoffice-users] automatic updates?

Hi :)
I think it's an artistic type question rather than a scientific one.  An update 
might only contain a few bug-fixes/patches and minor modifications perhaps a 
minor additional functionality / functionality.  A new release / version 
contains major new features and a ton of updates.  


As we saw at a higher level when Oracle tried to push out a 3.4.0 release rather 
than just making it a minor point release (such as 3.3.4) people can try to make 
it appear that they are going to deliver more than they are really giving.  
Quite where the dividing lines are can be unclear i think.  Sometimes it is 
obvious but not always.

Regards from
Tom :)

It's the same at home --- with the difference maybe that the person
maintaining the system is likely the same person who has root access.


What makes "a version" "a version"?  That someone decides to take what's
currently in the git repository and makes it available in another way,
or is there something special involved?
