Hi all,
It would be very usefull to have a metapackage OpenOffice.org for
linux / deb (debian, Ubuntu, etc.) allowing to install OOo by
double-clicking on this file in Nautilus under Ubuntu.
We have many new Ubuntu users who want install official version of
OpenOffice.org and who are scared by terminal and command line. They
are tempted to dismiss OOo because it is complicated to install.
Merry Christmas!

You can download 1 file fits all from our website.
First of all, I think "relea...@ooo" is the right place to discuss this,
as we don't make release engineering.
The issue here is not about one or more files to download.
The file we download from OOo site is a compressed file with a set of
files inside it.
To install OOo on Debian based distros, the user have to:
- open a terminal
- type:
sudo dpkg -i DEBS/*.deb
you can't actually do that on the graphical interface due to dependency
issues.
He asked for a metapackage which depends on others.
Well... that's valid for repositories using APT, but is not much useful
for deb packages.
You would click the metapackage and it would just show "unsatisfied
dependencies".
It won't look for the packages on the current folder and install them.
A shell script could do that, though.
