Not sure about the 'is it documented' part. Lots of work being done for some reason: http://lists.debian.org/debian-openoffice/2013/05/threads.html I like having my apps managed by my distro's dev team, security provided by same, upstream does not do secrity they do new releases to fix and create new bugs. And yes, the Debian version works well with all the other apps in Debian, finally, Libreoffice expects most GNU/Linux users to use the version provided by a distro, fair warning I say. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
