Description iformanek 2001-10-28 10:05:49 UTC 
There is no way how a use can get the extra and experimental stuff for A daily 
or Q-build via autoupdate.

I suggest that for all q-builds (since last FCS) and last seven days of daily 
builds the extra and experimental modules are available on AU for (and from) 
that particular build.

For all other builds, the AU should display a notification for the user that a 
newer build is available and they should update, instead of showing the modules 
from last FCS version.

reassigning to Robert Novak, who is autoupdate maintainer
Comment 2 Jan Chalupa 2001-11-27 10:51:36 UTC 
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Comment 3 Marek Grummich 2002-07-22 08:26:18 UTC 
Target milestone was changed from '3.4' to TBD.

I think this is already true of dev builds? I.e. you can easily
retrieve current versions of all modules (in the distro as well as
many others) from the alpha server.
Comment 5 Daniel Pfeffer 2003-05-20 22:18:23 UTC 
I would also agree that this is possible now.

We are just missing clearly defined process how to 
add/remove module to be on alpha/daily AU centre.

To add the module to Alpha AU I propose to ask for 
following questions first:

1/ Is it possible to build it?
2/ Does this module do at least something?
3/ Isn't there any legal problem to distribute it?
4/ Is the module category consistent with release modules 
categorization?

AU masters (aumasters@netbeans.org) team should be able to 
make the decision then.
Comment 6 Jiri Rechtacek 2005-04-26 12:15:58 UTC 
IMHO It's not planned to future to expose daily NBMs on dev update center. Close
as WONTFIX. If I'm wrong, please reopen and justify. Thanks
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2005-04-27 17:37:15 UTC 
Uh, is this really true? Who knows about this?
