Hi Pedro, I think that you can't do a mistake. Any the suggested builds were good for testing.

It does not matter what snapshot you use. Any newer build will be closer to LO-3.5.0 final but you need not download every build. The machine is fast, so there are not that many changes between the various builds. It is done with the default configure switches, so it might slightly differ from the configuration used for the final build. Though, it should be perfectly fine for 99% of testing. > Thorsten Behrens suggests > http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases > (this folder contains the Win-x86@6 MSVC build from > 2011-12-09_12.44.50 but machine #6 only uses core, dictionaries and > help) This site provides "official" builds before they are available on mirrors. We use this place to do some pre-testing before we announce them into wide public. The build appears here usually 1-2 days after we create the tag. Thorsten announce them on the developers mailing list. Thorsten put here the last snapshot from the Win-x86@6-fast tinderbox on Friday, so people would test one particular over the weekend. It was non-standard action and we do not plan to do such things for other betas. You might already find here the "official" beta1 builds created from the git tag. > and finally Fridrich Strba suggests > http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Windows_Release_Configuration/libreoffice-3-5/ > (this is a build that finished compiling at 11-Dec-2011 06:51, it > doesn't have a log but it includes all 5 repositories) It was full language build produced on the machine where we build release builds. Fridrich did it with exactly the same configure options that are used for the final build => this one was closest to what we would release. Well, it was non-standard action. The build was built and uploaded manually. We do not plan this for other betas. There will be the official beta build instead. > I repeat my previous question: Is it important for testing purposes > how many/which repositories are used? I think that it does not mater. Every build has advantages and disadvantages. The official beta builds are done on the same machine that will be used for the final build => you are sure that it is built using the same compiler, has the same features enabled like the final build. The build from Win-x86@6-fast has last changes from the git repo. So, there might already be some bugs fixed, ...
