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.
I assumed that installation difficulties for new Ubuntu users was a QA
issue.
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.
Argh :-( I was not aware of such subtleties.
A shell script could do that, though.
There is a shell script "update" but what it does is not clear for me
and I never used it, so I am not able to recommend to use it.
The only thing I understood is that this script install all packages
without checking dependencies. I don't like that.
Thanks a lot.
