As a member of LibreOffice packaging team, I agree with Mantas, the reporter of this bug.
Why so major component like an office suite will be several versions outdated and unsupported (EOL), while: 1. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) is supported till 2017. http://www.canonical.com/content/ubuntu-1204-feature-extended-support-period-desktop-users 2. 3.5.7 is EOL since 8/11/2012 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#End_of_Life_Releases 3. Newer versions (than 3.5.7) successfully compiled for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise) for a long time, partially by me and mostly by Rico Tzschichholz. https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice https://launchpad.net/~ricotz 4. 4.1.x series packages downloaded more than 13,000 times from the 4.1.x PPA. In other words - it's been tested daily by thousands of real users. https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-4-1 indicator-ppa-download-statistics, https://launchpad.net/~thebernmeister 5. 4.1.4 released yesterday is the first version also suggested for corporate deployments. http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2013/12/18/the-document-foundation-announces-libreoffice-4-1-4/ As per all above facts, my suggest is to SRU 4.1.4 version after about a month of testing on 4.1.x PPA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261168 Title: [SRU] LibreOffice 4.1.3 for Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1261168/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
