--- Comment #1 from Timothy M Butterworth <timothy.m.butterwo...@gmail.com> ---
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
LibreOffice.
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 LibreOffice 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
LibreOffice 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 such as Fedora and openSUSE.
This may also assist in improving the number of active developers as many
distros may work on patches and RPM fixes centrally at LibreOffice instead of
Distro specific patches.
