Or Tarbell?  ;-)

Actually, I thought the download from OOo was a tarball.

There was an outcry when OpenOffice moved from a universal installer to the rpms which, as you say, are compressed into a tarball.

The outcome of the issue filed was that the software itself would be available for installation from a tarball.

IOW, it is supposed to be possible to install simply by uncompressing a tarball - in the same way that Mozilla products can be installed.

This other tarball (not to be confused with whatever you are talking about) does not contain RPMs; it contains the software files, ready for action and rarin' to go.

Well, it would do if it exists, which is the first question in question. :-\

The second question is *where* is it?
