Excellent decision. A reply that I provided over on the OOo general list:
However two main points:
1. It is generally advisable to keep and maintain the current version of
Ubuntu OOo in both 8.04 and 8.10 as those versions will: 1) continue to
receive standard and security updates, and 2) they are versions that use
gstreamer for media support. Have you ever had to deal with jmf in
standard OOo?
2. OOo 3.0 can easily be downloaded and installed in 8.04 or 8.10
without any distruption or interference to an existing (U)OOo install.
Advocating that people install from a ppa that will overwrite their
existing (U)OOo installations is, IMO, irresponsible.
ppa does stand for personal package area - I should of spelled that out
before.
On the other hand it can also be used by teams for publishing their
collective work via launchpad. In this case it is a team effort and not
that of an individual.
In this case the who:
mathias klose - member of the Ubuntu foundation team and ubuntu core
development team
Chris cheney - member Ubuntu Core Development team
Will these packages go upstream into the main ubuntu repositories..I
don't know - I can guess.
Would a person that uses say OxygenOffice (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop ) not be allowed to enter a bug
into the openoffice.org tacking system? Of course not, they do.
How about someone that builds their own copy?
Anyway I will admit that I should of spelled this out more - but
irresponsible. I don't think so, but then I'm biased.
Best wishes,
Drew
