Beta for Aqua OpenOffice.org on PowerPC

All over the net, I see a lot of people complaining because they never found the PowerPC version proposed for download when OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta for Mac OS X was announced.

For the one interested, the official builds (all locales) can be found there :
OpenOffice.org Beta 3.0 for Mac OS X.

All locales, and all architectures are proposed.

We strongly suggest to prefer official builds, because this is the reference



Now, Mac OS X port contributors often propose their own builds, used for code modifications, or whatever.

For example, if you find the server above slow, and/or don't fear to test unofficial, not QA'ed and hacked builds (e.g. containing advanced code for our prefered testers), and want to help the Mac port developers, there is another existing URL:

Unofficial developer builds

Proposed locales are de / fr / en-US and ja only, for both Intel and PowerPC )

Be aware, at the second URL, for place reason, the proposed builds are often removed for new one without any announcement, and you shouldn't trust too much what you'll find on it: this is firstly for development .

Last but not least, if ever you use a build from the second URL, and find a bug, you must verify the bug is in the official build before to report it on IssueZilla.

=> Issues not verified with beta will be closed as invalid
