Hi Claudio,

Thats not true. I do work on that too as is Lionel Elie Mamane and sometimes Matthias Klose (for ARM). Rene is clearly the final judge on contributions and changes to LibreOffice packaging on Debian


That's true, Rene is free to create a NEW application, using OpenOffice.org resources.


But so far, rename everything LibreOffice in the files concerning OpenOffice.org is not fair. As I wrote, "apt-get install openoffice.org" should lead to "no longer maintained", or something like that, but NOT lead to "replaced by LibreOffice or whatever".

IMHO, the right decision could have been :

- clone openoffice.org source files (all the Debian bazaar , like Control and so on files)
- create / declare libreoffice as a NEW application in Debian repos
- put openoffice.org in "unmaintained" or whatever similar status.

That's just a personal opinion, but I hope I was clear. If not please ask me and I'll reformulate.


as he is doing an excellent job there.


Nobody told he didn't and nobody will contest. Since years Rene does a great work for OpenOffice.org and now LibreOffice.



Regards,
Eric
