I thought we add all dependencies to the build process. (thats why our build takes ages.)
I thought the only distibution dependency is the build environment.
Maybe I am wrong. If so I do not understand how CentOS5 can be compatible to everything else.

Hi Rory,

When opening a Writer file from the splash screen I get a "general error" 
message, then the file opens.  Starting AOO 4.2.0 from a terminal gives the message
** (soffice:2353): WARNING **: Unknown type: GailWindow
The file then opens; it will accept a simple edit, and close correctly.
That sounds like this issue:

It would be interesting if it only affects builds based on Ubuntu
(14.04). Can someone build 4.2.0 on CentOS under release conditions?

Question: Is CentOS 5 still our preferred version, or should we deprecate
CentOS5 for CentOS 6?

There are some things that 4.2.0 requires requires some updated 3rd party
libs, like zip 3.0.0 or later, etc.

If I had to vote, I'd say w/ assume (and stay w/) CentOS 5 since the upgrade to
CentOS 6 will likely cause a lot of potential for regressions.
