LibreOffice Community,
As suggested, this post is intended to get the opinion of the community
about how best to deliver LibreOffice to its users.
Given that LibreOffice is an important and viable alternative to
paid-for office productivity software, and we all feel strongly and
passionately about the direction of LibreOffice, input about the
community members' expectations/needs/users is needed.
From what we have heard on this topic so far:
- Mac users have commented that they do not have an issue with the
current installer available on the Mac platform.
- Window users indicated that an update mechanism would be great. Some
commented that the current Windows installer leaves artifacts behind.
The Windows Installer does not detect/remove previous installations
properly.
- Linux users have discussed vast amounts opinions on packaging in
Linux. Some have questioned if distributing packages is a good thing.
-----------------------
This survey is to gauge the views of the LibreOffice community on the
install/update method of LibreOffice. Please voice your opinion so that
these considerations may be taken into account when the LibreOffice
method of install/update is studied by the developer team. Please
*bottom-post* your opinions.
How do you expect LibreOffice to be updated?
How do you Install/Update LibreOffice?
What do you expect when Installing/Updating LibreOffice?
Other programs have separate updating programs (iTunes being an
example), if it was technically feasible, would having a separate
install program for LibreOffice (with updating features) be useful to you?
Would having a download and update site, as well as a Unix|Linux package
repository site, be of value to you?
-----------------------
Please note that I am not affiliated with DocumentFoundation. I am like
you, a community member who wants to see LibreOffice be very successful.
So let's hear what you think folks?
Regards,
Scott Furry
