I think you can usually just install over the top to wipe the previous version.

However on an extremely rare occasion that might not work in which

the newer version.  however when you do so you can keep the User
Profile so that all your settings, configs, galleries,
Extensions/add-ons/plugins, templates and all the rest remain intact.
It's quite a good idea to create a copy of your User Profile every so
often so that it's easier to get back to a configuration you liked if
anything crazy ever happens.

It's the price of getting a much newer and more updated version.
Windows users always have to install any programs this way so it's a
bit like going back to Windows for a little moment.

Hi, the best suggestion is to grab the latest from the LO site (you will

As well as monitoring for updates you also have to install  remove

process but any problems pls sing out.

Hello,

LibreOffice in the Fedora 21 repositories are currently in the 4.3
series.
Is there an updated LibreOffice repository for Fedora 21 (and also future
versions) that have LibreOffice 4.4? I like to use the newest version of
LibreOffice on Fedora if possible. Thanks!

with Fedora 21 I have been using the standard Fedora release, but, if 
you do not, I think that you can remove the existing using yum...


Is it installed?

yum list installed | grep libreoffice

I expect that you can remove it using

yum remove libreoffice*

I have always used yum localinstall *.rpm to install the RPMs after I 
extract the code.


Last time I did this, there was a GUI integration driectory under the 
standard RPM directory. I changed to that directory  and installed the 
RPM meant for UI integration for gnome. I don't remember what that is 
called off hand, or even if it is still required. I don't have time now 
to download and check the RPMs, but, if you send a list of RPMs, I can 
tell you which one it is.

2015-02-05 Thread avamk
OK, I followed everyone's tips and was able to replace the Fedora
repository-installed LibreOffice 4.3 with 4.4 installed from the RPMs
downloaded from the LibreOffice site!!

Sorry I've never tinkered with YUM configuration before, how to I
modify it to ignore LibreOffice updates?

Another strange thing is that when (and only when) I enable Use
OpenGL for all rendering in options, (1) all vertical scroll bars
become upside down (i.e. the bar moves up from the bottom when I
scroll down), (2) all checks in checkboxes are upside down, and (3)
when I resize a window the expanded area is all dark! Has this
happened to anyone else??

Thanks for your replies!

Hi :)
I think you can usually just install over the top to wipe the previous version.

However on an extremely rare occasion that might not work in which
case you might need to remove/uninstall everything and then reinstall
the newer version.  however when you do so you can keep the User
Profile so that all your settings, configs, galleries,
Extensions/add-ons/plugins, templates and all the rest remain intact.
It's quite a good idea to create a copy of your User Profile every so
often so that it's easier to get back to a configuration you liked if
anything crazy ever happens.

It's the price of getting a much newer and more updated version.
Windows users always have to install any programs this way so it's a
bit like going back to Windows for a little moment.

2015-02-05 Thread Tim Lloyd
Funny, I never thought of modifying any yum settings. It just works for 
me! I'll have to check next time I install Fedora!


There is a new version of LO about once very month. I normally grab that 
and install. I keep the tar.gz files in case I don't like the new 
version (highly unlikely).


I also occasionally download the development version which is much more 
volatile but interesting to have a look at what is in the pipeline. I 
wouldn't encourage using the dev version for sensitive docs though :)

I think you can usually just install over the top to wipe the previous
version.

However on an extremely rare occasion that might not work in which
case you might need to remove/uninstall everything and then reinstall
the newer version.  however when you do so you can keep the User
Profile so that all your settings, configs, galleries,
Extensions/add-ons/plugins, templates and all the rest remain intact.
It's quite a good idea to create a copy of your User Profile every so
often so that it's easier to get back to a configuration you liked if
anything crazy ever happens.

It's the price of getting a much newer and more updated version.
Windows users always have to install any programs this way so it's a
bit like going back to Windows for a little moment.

I see. If I install LibreOffice 4.4 manually (via the RPM I'm
guessing?) can I just install a newer version over it once it's
released, or do I have to remove the whole thing before installing an
update? Thanks!

Hi, the best suggestion is to grab the latest from the LO site (you
will
have to monitor the site for updates):

As well as monitoring for updates you also have to install  remove
manually. As you are using Fedora I assume you are familiar with that

process but any problems pls sing out.

Cheers

Hello,

LibreOffice in the Fedora 21 repositories are currently in the 4.3
series.
Is there an updated LibreOffice repository for Fedora 21 (and also
future
versions) that have LibreOffice 4.4? I like to use the newest version
of
LibreOffice on Fedora if possible. Thanks!


with Fedora 21 I have been using the standard Fedora release, but, if
you do not, I think that you can remove the existing using yum...

Is it installed?

yum list installed | grep libreoffice

I expect that you can remove it using

yum remove libreoffice*

I have always used yum localinstall *.rpm to install the RPMs after I
extract the code.

Last time I did this, there was a GUI integration driectory under the
standard RPM directory. I changed to that directory  and installed the
RPM meant for UI integration for gnome. I don't remember what that is
called off hand, or even if it is still required. I don't have time now
to download and check the RPMs, but, if you send a list of RPMs, I can
tell you which one it is.
