This is off-topic to this list, but Sid and Sarge are not meant to be stable unmodified versions. Hence minor changes to get the package slightly better are generally legitimate. Those changes were in the revision number: in the internal numberring of the Debian package. You could read about them in the file /usr/share/doc/openoffice/changelog.Debian.gz . Actually this file shows many changes. It seems that besides the expected Ximian patches, Debian also does quite a lot of porting work to linux on other platforms. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Hebrew mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openoffice.org.il/mailman/listinfo/hebrew
