Well... that's valid for repositories using APT
I think this means we want OpenOffice.org to run an apt repository.
Seriously!
No, we don't.
He though a metapackage would address the issue.
OK - maybe I am just off in never-never land here but... as I see it
there is absolutely nothing stopping someone, or a couple of someones,
from creating a ppa over at launchpad.net. Then using the resources at,
oh say, build.opensuse.org to build the needed files.
Offer a way for new Ubuntu users to just add the ppa.launchpad.net
repository via the GUI and install the vanilla OO.o packages via the GUI
tools also.
Now - beyond the "who gonna do it?" question, am I missing something
technical hurdle in this scenario?
Who says everything has to be done by "official" channels, anyway?
Actually, the person in charge wouldn't have to build anything. He could
use the official debs and set up the repository.
In this case a metapackage would help. But a metapackage is very easy to
make. He could make its own.
Sorry, I though you were saying he suggested it, I didn't take that as a
suggestion.
Really - kind of makes me wonder why someone hasn't gone ahead and done
it already then?
