Linux Distros using LO?

Hi,

I write a weekly Linux News piece in a UK magazine (MicroMart) and I wondered
if anyone knew of any Linux distros already including LO in their
repositories? Or any firm plans to do so from their next release?

Hi, you can find LibreOffice on OpenSuse 11.4 M3, Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, Fedora 15... probably other distros follow :slight_smile:

Hi Stefano,

LibreOffice is being packaged for Ubuntu 11.04 but it's not decided if
it will replace OOo yet. I'd suggest asking directly Rick Spencer,
Ubuntu Engineering Director at Canonical. See:

Cheers,

Fabian

Thanks, both of you.

At the moment I know two interesting distro's repositories that are serving more than next distro releases:

- OpenSuSE
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/

- *ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa

Take a look!

HTH,

Hi Phil

openSUSE:
LibreOffice is in the regular openSUSE repositories for the following versions:
- SLE_11
- SLE_11_SP1
- openSUSE_11.1
- openSUSE_11.2
- openSUSE_11.3
- as well as openSUSE_Factory (to become openSUSE_11.4)

since LibO final is not yet released, it is under Unstable.

Hi

For Debian: Since LibreOffice is somewhat recent, and still in beta, the
package are only available from the "experimental" repository (reminder:
there is stable, testing, unstable, and... experimental) and so are not
"ready" for public use, but they work like a charm, so I think it's worth
mentionning that there will be libreoffice available from official debian
repositories soon.

However, like with Ubuntu, I don't know if they will replace openoffice or
coexist. But I believe that being available is more important.

There will be a couple of packagers on Mageia working on the LibO rpm. Not sure if it will displace OOo as LibO is still not in final version and Mageia is still in the works, but yes, a couple of people have express interest in packaging LibO for Mageia.

Cheers
