I'm going to update the description of this bug report so it can serve as an information resource for others (ie if someone asks on IRC how to get ooo3, or whether its part of intrepid). I'm not including any summations of any controversy, just the facts of what decision was made.
I have no inside information, and am just gleaming information from these comments. Please feel free to correct me. Thanks! ** Description changed: - Binary package hint: openoffice.org + There was not enough time to officially include OpenOffice.org 3.0 in + the Intrepid Ibex release of Ubuntu. OO 2.4 will be the default office + package. We understand that testing out new software is exciting, and + apologize for any disappointment. OO 3.0 will be default in the next 6 + month release of Ubuntu. - Hello. - I don't know if it could be possible, but as first Release Candidate of - OpenOffice.org hit openoffice.org mirrors, I wonder if it is too late to - upgrade openoffice.org version in Intrepid Ibex from 2.4.1 to 3.0. + If you would like to upgrade to OO 3.0 anyway, you have a couple options: + + You can install from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice- + pkgs/+archive + + Or, you can wait for the 3.0.1 bug fix release of OpenOffice, which will + be included in the Backports repository for Intrepid. This release is + expected sometime early December. + + Bear in mind, that if you choose to upgrade, there is no supported + method of downgrading, so please decide carefully. + + Thanks! -- Package OpenOffice.org 3.0 for Intrepid Backports https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267376 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
