I'm happy to announce that OpenOffice.org 3.0.0.3.4 rc4 packages are
available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project.
We hope that this is the last release candidate and that we will
provide the final package in the OpenOffice:org:STABLE project the
following week.
Even though, we are very close the final release, the package still
might include even serious bugs. Therefore it is not intended for
data-critical usage. A good practice is to archive any important data
before an use, …
We kindly ask any interested beta testers to try the package and report bugs.
Note: openSUSE-11.1-beta2 and FACTORY include totaly reworked packages
where the build is split into many source packages. It is a bit broken
right now. We would like to put it into the Build Service as soon as
possible but it will take some time to fix the build on older
distributions again. Please be patient.
Where to Get It
The packages are provided by the OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE installation
repository.
Installation Problems
There are some problems with the version update on older
distributions. You might need to select the right version by hand.
IMPORTANT
The packages with localizations are renamed from OpenOffice_org-<lang>
to OpenOffice_org-l10n-<lang>. Also the localized help content is
split into the optional OpenOffice_org-help-<lang> packages. Finally,
the American localization is split into extra packages
OpenOffice_org-l10n-en-US and OpenOffice_org-help-en-US.
We are sorry, the 64-bit packages are not available for SLED10 and
openSUSE-10.2. You could install the 32-bit (i586) instead. We hope to
solve the build problems within the following weeks.
Bug Reports
Please report the bugs into the Novell bugzilla for the product
OpenOffice_org 2.0. Do not forget to mention enough information about
the problem.
