Hi NoOp,

I have OOo 2.3.1 installed and I want to keep a working version of 2.3.1
but also install the latest 2.4.x. The instructions on
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel only
provide information for RPM and Windows. How do I do the same with .deb
files?
it seems you didn't read very well that wiki page (or didn't pay much
attention): on the first paragraph it said (past, as now I've changed
it) "Notice that we use an RPM version, but as we are extracting the
files, it works also for "installing" in Debian based distributions."
The method worked perfectly on Debian, Ubuntu, and other distros that
use DEB packages instead of RPM: the package format does not matter
because it's not beeing installed, but extracted, you only needed to
install rpm2cio.
Any way now I added explanations for RPM and DEB packages, both for 2.*
versions and 3-layer-versions.
So now the explanation for DEB packages is reduced to:
#extrat the tarball
tar -zxvf OOo-Dev_DEV300_m7_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
#cd the folder with the debs
cd DEV300_m7_native_packed-1_en-US.9293/DEBS/
# create a temp folder, cd, and extract the files from the debs
for i in ../*.deb; do dpkg-deb -x $i . ; done
# simply move the opt folder to your home dir, renaming it
mv opt ~/OOo_DEV300_m7
The result is a completely self-contained installation (without any
system/desktop integration, and with its own user directory inside)
IMHO simpler impossible (notice that I tested this "installing" DEBs
packages on SuSe and RPMs in Ubuntu; so the package format has no
influence at all, the result is the same)
3) a wiki enabled person can add the above (or
modified) to the
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel so
that .deb users can also know how to install/run parallel versions of OOo.
deb user could already do that! (I'm in fact also a deb user ;-) )
Any way, feel free to add/change anything you want in that wiki page.
If you don't have an account, is very simple to get one (IIRC click the
link "Log in / create account" at the top-right corner of every wiki page).
And if you don't have wiki skills, OOo Writer can export to Wiki format.
Regards
Ariel.
