This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Right now users with 56k modems must download 14MB every night to be able to test the latest nightly build for you. I suggest you provide a way to download the diff between different builds (so they'd download the full version just once and diffs from then on) and provide a Java-based diff-processing utility to update their installed version to the latest available build. This diff-creation should be automaticalled created by the nightly build cron job.
changed to enhancement and priority moved to p5 it would be better to propose this enhancement on nbdev mailing list, I think this is a job for release engineering
Why is the default owner for www/downloads support@collab.net?? Should be bugs@www.netbeans.org like everywhere else.
Has this been proposed on nbdev?
This doesn't need to be taken to nbdev. The original issue is something that the content people need to provide (ie. splitting up the released files into smaller *bites* for people to download. However, the support@collab.net initial owner was set so that support would be notified when issues arose and can escalate properly. I'm going to set every netbeans.org component's initial owner to bugs@www.netbeans.org and add support@collab.net to this alias.
fixed. bugs@www.netbeans.org is put in for all www components as initial owner. support@collab.net has been subscribed to that list.
Why was this marked resolved/fixed ? Prior to Friday this issue was an enhancement request for the buildmasters/release engineering. Unless I missed something the enhancement has not been completed or discussed, so I don't see why this was closed. Also "Assigned to" has been set back to taska@collab.net, whereas it should be bugs@www.netbeans.org - Jesse alread changed this once. Collab this is our problem, you don't need to do anything here. Reopening.
Note to Collabnet Support folks: This has been determined to be an issue for Netbeans to resolve.
Adding me to Cc:, because I'm the person who should probably implement this. On the other hand I guess that discussion on nbdev should be started. In case that the result of discussion on nbdev will be request to implement it, then assign it to me and I will implement it in cooperation with Jack.
Accepting for implementation
Reassigning to me
Set target milestone to TBD
Remind later
Ruda - generally we don't use the REMIND resolution is IZ; no one will remind you. :-) At least for normal IZ components, such RFEs are set to milestone Future is there is no current plan to deal with them. Anyway this might be WONTFIX, since with the dev alpha daily AU you can (in principle anyway) just keep one dev build and install any daily updates to particular modules. You won't have precisely the same bits as in that day's dev build, since most modules would not have updated their manifest versions, but you would get any updates that the module owner considered significant enough to mark with a new version.
