Hi Everyone,
this is my first TDF post! :-)
I'm an active and long time OpenSuSE and Novell's OOo user and bug
poster, too!
Now, in my OpenSuSE daily updated 11.2, x86-64, notebook I have
Novell/OpenSuSE OBS OOo 3.2.1.6 (x86-64) (still with the famous fixed
but not released pdf bug
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615812).
Now I want to install both:
- Libò 3.3>= beta2 and
- OBS (OpenSuSE Build Service, *ubuntu's Launch Pad analog) OOo>
3.2.1.6 and/or becoming 3.3
This because:
- on October the 23th I will participate as OOo/Libò/TDF speaker in
Padua's (Italy's NE) Linux Day (in the Padua's FSUG kind People group);
- I want to start my soft migration from OOo to... Libò, obviously!!! ;-)
so why do you CC [email protected] ?
please explain, I can not understand you
My two questions are:
1. May OOo 3.2.1.x/3.3.x and Libò coexist (in the same operating system
instance, I mean)? At least in linux? May I go on with just downloaded
Libò x86-64 beta2?
I guess this might work with forks too
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel
2. When does Novell/OpenSuSE start to build Libò in his (our!) OBS? I
mean here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/
or here
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Office:/ (in a new
"LibreOffice" directory)
or here, too
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/ (in a new
"LibreOffice" directory)?
To search in the OBS you could go here (The Famous Webpin page)
http://packages.opensuse-community.org/
It's now time for Novell and OpenSuSE whole Community to start giving
solid/concrete Libò/TDF support signs! :-)
be sure they started already:
by reading
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2010-September/000002.html
Present: Thorsten, Caolan, Rene, Michael
Invited: Petr, Fridrich
I count in LO's technical group 5 developers from Novell and 1 from RedHat.
Regards
Hopefully the OOo name will be released for use to this OOo project, if the new
owner
of the OpenOffice.org name copyright decides not to continue supporting OOo.
If that
happens, then LibreOffice will be renamed OpenOffice.org so we can keep the name
most people know OOo's suite by.
We all are waiting for this, but we cannot wait for ever, can we?
Oracle owns the copyright of the name, as I was told,
and if they decide that they will not continue to work on this office suite, or
their version
that Sun was marketing, then Oracle could be nasty and tell this group that the
OpenOffice.org
name can no longer be used. They can do that if they want.
This is the worst case, but I don't see in that any people or enterprise
advantage. In this behavior I only see human envy, jealousy, endive.
Hopefully they will either
support the project or allow LibreOffice development line to use the name, or
allow this
project to continue on its own and keep the name. I do not know what will
happen.
Sincerely I hope that Oracle transfer all OOo infrastructures, names,
rights, people and so on in The Document Foundation (TDF).
Are we going to have to let this branch of the development of the office suite
to be cut off
because of Oracle, or is it to continue to grow. If cut off, will LibreOffice
be able to use
the OOo name or will it keep the LibreOffice name? Sun's version of OOo was
Star Office?
This open source version was OpenOffice.org. Then there were/are other
branches like
Go-oo, Neo-, and several others I have been told. It is hard to keep up. I
have been told
that Ubuntu/Debian used Go-oo instead of OOo's Debian version [I wonder about
that] and
it comes up OpenOffice.org in the splash screen. Will LibreOffice do the same
and keep the
OpenOffice.org splash screen? It keeps getting more and more confusing. Who
has/uses
what version, when the splash screen and internal stuff seem to be the same.
Maybe someone can post a good message about who [distros] uses which version,
and why,
plus what the differences between the version are really about. Explain why we
should switch
between OOo's web site's version to the other ones out there, like Go-oo and
LibreOffice.
Are all good stuff, good questions.
Distros choose Go-OO version because:
- read the home page
http://go-oo.org/
- read the added features (!!!) here (many of that are included by the
same developers, that subscribed the Oracle/Sun JCA..., in the
original/vanilla OOo next 3.3 release)
http://go-oo.org/discover/
The two pages are rapid to read and I suggest you to give that a look! ;-)
I suggest you to to give a look to the upper bug history, so that you'll
see what all distros have suffer this summer about...
I'm sure in the next weeks you (we!) will be less confusing, Oracle
gratias and mind openess!
Could anyone re-tell us the URL of the info on getting rid of the default
version OOo on
Ubuntu/Debian and installing OOo's Debian version. The Application/Menu
troubles need
more info than just uninstall and the install . . . ., for those not really up
on Ubuntu terminal
commands.
Why do you want to install vanilla/original OOo?
Sunny day,
Carlo
