The PPA site was populated with (U)OOo 3.1.1 by Chris Cheney. It was an
excellent source to upgrade (U)OOo to 3.1.1 when the code was there. It
is no longer there. Keep in mind that PPA stands for "Personal Package
Archive" and is just that, a *personal* package archive. PPA's have been
discussed here previously; you use at your own risk and understand that
the packages are *not* supported by anyone but the person (and not even
then always) that put them up.
The version of OOo on launchpad is from Go-oo (Novell), not Sun.(For
various reasons, Ubuntu is going to stick with Go-Oo, rather than
Sun's.
As are multiple other linux distros that use it as well:
http://www.go-oo.org/download/
Which linux distribution are you using? Does it include Evolution, OOo etc?
OxygenOffice is based on Go-Oo, but includes a couple of things in
Sun's version, that aren't in Go-Oo.
I believe it will be the most up-to-date.
Most up-to-date is a matter of how one defines that term.
Could there be some way to have it done from a OOo "sister"
site/mirror?
You should be able to add the (Sun) OOo download site as a
repository to your package management system.
Really? Please provide details.
My question still stands, could someone setup a repository for
OOo's web site's [Sun's] version for the "Deb" versions of Linux?
How much bandwidth would it need - GUESS? How hard would it be
to do so for every update that comes out? I would love to be able
to easily install OOo on Ubuntu, but without a repository or PPA,
I seem not to be able to get my server to install via the OOo
website's linked files. I use Ubuntu 9.10 "desktop", not server,
since I only need Samba for file and printer sharing. Maybe some
day I will set one on as a full server for offline web site creation
with server site operation like PHP and MySQL, but not for awhile.
Still my original question, long ago, was to install OOo [Sun] on
my Ubuntu. Since Linux is not my primary machine's OS, it is not
a sticking point. Hopefully soon I will be converting my backup
laptop to some flavor of Linux. Then later, I hope to get the laptop
I am typing on to be a dual boot Linux and Vista/Win7 machine. I
still need Windows for some low-market software and the "can you do this
for me?" using their Windows software.
Thanks everyone for your assistance, comments, and such.
To answer the Evolution question, even though it was asked
to someone else, I use the following software on Win machines
and will most likely use Linux version on my default Linux machine:
[Please no comments, fighting, bashing, etc. of which Linux software
is the best. At this point, I am not ready for such a battle of wits.
I will be picking the distro of Linux by which one works best with the
onboard devices, so will have to base everything off from that distro.]
... Firefox browser
... Thunderbird [if find better Linux software, I will switch]
... OpenOffice.org
... Inkscape [use Corel Draw 12 now - started with C.D.6]
... Kompozer [if find better Linux software, I will switch]
... open-source photo editor
[used Paint Shop Pro and others - used them for years]
... FileZilla FTP client
... Jalbum
... DeVeDe / Brasero Disc Burner
[only use Ubuntu machine for DVD work at this time]
... BOINC [use Win and Linux version now]
... security software for spam, ad-ware, malware, etc.
... Lightscribe disc printing/burning
... and other odds and ends as well
