There are two sets of debs provided. One is patched, and the other isn't. Right now I am running a non-patched deb-installed OOo 1.9.106.

Then just extend this to: "not build in the same environment, with the
exact same tools".

Fair enough. It's already in a section that says it's "third party".


I suggest you read it again or point me to a message that states that
Sun will build OOo using gcj.

What about all the messages from Caolan talking about which parts of OOo build with gcj and which ones don't?

Just to be clear, I didn't mean to say that *Sun* would build OOo with gcj. I was talking about Debian. And the point I was making is that they will not have "Java removed" like John said. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear before.

You never did see Sun's JRE? The JRE is a seperate download, not part of
OOo. The verstion the script fetches is 1.5.0_3

What I meant was, could you please point me to this script? Not that it's relevant to .deb packages. I'm just curious.


See above. And building from unpatched sources doesn't mean that it is
compiled with the same set of features, with the same
configure-switches.

I can see the options for Java right here. I installed Sun's JRE and I was using it to run Wizards all of last week (for a book). I don't know, or really care, if all the configure switches are identical. We know this is a "third party" .deb. I simply said that I'm using .deb packages with none of the Java functionality removed. And that was a response to John saying that the .deb packages have Java functionality removed. That's all.


OOo is no longer a large program package-wise. The biggest junk is
21 MB.

Fair enough, but the program I had problems with was OOo. I couldn't install OOo RPMs on Ubuntu using alien. Maybe I'm just very unlucky. I'm just telling you what my experience is.

Cheers,
Daniel.
