Description Sergejs Ušakovs 2012-07-16 23:24:16 UTC 
Problem description: 
No link published on the website for LOO 3.5.5. Portable mirrors, although it exists - and thus can not be used by regular users who don't know the link http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/3.5.5/ (further click Details for mirrors)

I was advised on this link at PortableApps LOO forum http://portableapps.com/node/33519 .

Steps to reproduce:
go to the LOO website

Current behavior:
LOO web site provides a single reference to LOO P 3.5.5 here http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
Then under "Portable" http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/ there is only 3.5.4 - but again, no link to mirrors.
That's all what we can see on LOO website.

Expected behavior:
To have link to LOO Portable 3.5.5 clickable from e.g. http://www.libreoffice.org/download/

Platform (if different from the browser): 
              
Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1132.57 Safari/536.11

So it is!

<http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/> offers 3.5.5,
but that page can not be reached from a.m. URL

Other problem on that page:
Release Notes link leads to 
<http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/>, what only 
provides obsolete "LibreOffice 3.5.4 Final (2012-05-30)" info
Comment 2 Erich 2012-07-17 08:40:03 UTC 
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/
has to be adjusted manually, there's no script to fetch new versions
Comment 3 Sergejs Ušakovs 2012-07-17 18:54:43 UTC 
So it is!

<http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/> offers 3.5.5,
*** but that page can not be reached from a.m. URL ***

======================

Sorry, but my complaint was that unless you know this link http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/portable/, you will not be able to get to Portable LOO mirrors, as there is no any link on LOO web site, that could re-direct you there? - meaning what is worth of taking efforts of putting portable version to number of mirrors if hardly anybody know about these mirrors?

I suggest to put on the page http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/ a link similar to what we can see http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ under "info" where you get list of all mirrors?

Unless there is an access to list of mirrors of portable version, I would hesitate to consider the bug to be resolved.
