Bug ID: 97269 Summary: Linux portable edition Product: LibreOffice Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master Hardware: All OS: Linux (All) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: medium Component: LibreOffice Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: philip...@hotmail.com CC: cl...@documentfoundation.org, libreoffice-ux-adv...@lists.freedesktop.org, michael.me...@collabora.com, qu...@runcibility.com LibreOffice has a portable edition on Windows ( http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable-versions/ ) in the PortableApps.com format and it would be great to also have one on Linux. Yesterday i checking out the new Krita 3.0 pre alpha release ( https://krita.org/item/first-krita-3-0-pre-alpha/ ) and they have the release for linux as a portable distribution-independent file in AppImage format ( http://appimage.org/ ) and i think LO should also produce or distribute a portable version in this format for Linux. LibreOffice 5.0.4 is already available in AppImage format ( https://bintray.com/probono/AppImages/LibreOffice/view ) and it would be good to have future alpha and beta releases in a linux portable edition to lower the barrier of entry for testers, and also for release candidates for users who want to test a version without committing to it. For QA, it would be good to have portable editions of older versions to make it easier for QA testers so want to do regression testing of bug reports. Additional information on AppImage can be found here as well - http://www.portablelinuxapps.org/ - which i had visited some time ago. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
