Dear Community,
The Document Foundation is happy to announce the second release
candidate of LibreOffice 3.3.1. The upcoming 3.3.1 is the first in a
series of frequent bugfix releases on top of our LibreOffice 3.3
product. Please be aware that LibreOffice 3.3.1 RC2 is not yet ready
for production use, you should continue to use LibreOffice 3.3 for
that.

* removed gd - Gaelic, ky - Kirghiz, pap - Papiamento, ti - Tigrinya,
ms - Malay, ps - Pashto, ur - Urdu. UI localization does not exist
in these languages. So it makes no sense to ship packages.

filter/source/config/fragments/makefile.mk.
