[libreoffice-users] Re: Ubuntu - don't install LibreOffice manually from the .deb files
MR. ZW, let's play nice now, OK? :) So regarding the thread of substance, what is DIFFERENT about the Ubuntu vs. Deb, vs official LO application? I didn't think that the Canonical folks MODIFY anything, correct? I think that keeping Ubuntu version separate from all others seems to be strangely counterproductive; being that the latest Ubuntu is both featuring and promoting LO... Not that separate is bad, but having independent bug resources and not always keeping in sync seems so carbon-paper and manual typewriter... ;) - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Windows XP-SP3 - (1) 2.8 G/2G RAM/ATI HD2600,512VRAM/SIS AC97 OB Audio (2) 2.9 G/3G RAM/NVIDIA 9500GT,1024VRAM/SB AudigySE Audio (3) 2.3 G/2G RAM/NVIDIA FX1500M,256VRAM/Sigmatel HD Aud -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Ubuntu-don-t-install-LibreOffice-manually-from-the-deb-files-tp2458845p2528986.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

The major major difference is that the ppa version does NOT enable the user to use any address book source other than Evolution. Never has done, even with Open Office. A major mistake on the behalf of Canonical IMHO... -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

But there will be a time lag between LibreOffice's updates on their web site and Ubuntu's repository. So, the no not install manually statement may be taken the wrong way be some users as if there is something wrong with LibreOffice's own downloads. Plus the fact that there are bugs in the Ubuntu version of LibO that are not present in the official version. Alex Hi Alex, What bugs exactly ? It would be very useful to include references or details when you make such comments. Tomorrow is Ubuntu bug day for LibO and OOo. I'd welcome any help reporting/reproducing any LibO bugs in Ubuntu (and vice versa), as well as upstream at Freedesktop.org. If you're talking about packaging bugs, why, yes, it's not perfect yet. Some bugs are also only now coming up when people use stuff like Unity. see: http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu/You-re-Invited-This-Week-s-Ubuntu-Bug-Day-LibreOffice-and-OpenOffice Cheers, Fabián - -- LibreOffice questions ?

Using the PPA also ensures that any debugging is being done on the appropriate repo. As I see it .debs are for developers - Toochain to Alpha...
