The ability to provide bug fixes to users/customers in a reasonable short time frame, typically within one week. To get this done, the Sun development process provides the following:
- fast qa access to every release build for bug confirmation
- fast developer access to all supported platforms to be able to debug natively on every platform, thus almost identical development environment on every platform.
- ready to build environment on every platform and easy access to prebuilt/preinstalled enviroment
- fast qa access to every release build for bugfix verification
most of these issues can be mapped to OOo requirements:
- provide access to milestone builds (now already done for some localized versions (fr, de, ja, etc.)
- provide access to main development platform for developers (partly done through tinderboxing, up to the contributor to take care of this)
- access to cws build for verification of bugs (work in progress in the tinderbox environment)
