Bug ID: 121832
Issue Type: ENHANCEMENT
Summary: Feature Request - Please setup a Yum Repo as an
installation method
Classification: Application
Product: Installation
Version: AOO400-dev
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3

All,
Please add Yum as an installation option to host the RPM's. This will allow any
user with any Linux Distribution that offers compliance with Linux Standard
Base LSB, RPM and YUM the option to configure the YUM repo for installation of
Apache OpenOffice.
This can be implemented so there is one repo for both 32 and 64 bit options
which is always updated to the latest stable version of Apache OpenOffice to
keep Linux users up to date.
Many other FLOSS projects are hosting their own Yum repo's including,
Virtualbox and Google with some proprietary members doing this as well Adobe.
Bottom line: The Yum Repo would allow for furthure acceptance and usage or
Apache OpenOffice in its native state without modification from Linux
Distributions. Supporting Linux Distributions can be encouraged to simply
include the Yum Repo as an addon repo for their distribution. Updates can be
distributed through yum so users who's distros already utilize YUM receive
updates in the same method as they do now. Mirror directories may expand to
organizations that already host Yum repos.
This may also assist in improving the number of active developers as many
distros may work on patches and RPM fixes centrally at Apache OpenOffice
instead of Distro specific patches.
