Has OpenOffice2.0.0 a high priority ?

[tassou]

Hi there,
first of all I apreciate the great and reliable work done on backporting.
I am a bit confused with the backports policy :
* I do understand that being a new version, firefox 1.5 can not be incorporated instead of it's previous version, because dependancies have changed and so on.
* But : OpenOffice 2 stable should not differ from the beta (and buggy) version shiped with Breezy. I mean it should be straightforward to replace current buggy version with the stable release, with no modification in the packaging management.

It seems to be a high priority for many end users and I wonder why this work has not been not yet
Thanks in advance to enlighten me

you can find the 2.O version by adding these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list
#OpenOffice 2.0 final, not beta like ubuntu repos
deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2 ./

yes I know that. There are plenty of way to install the stable version.
But, first, none of them suit the neebie. Even accumulating unofficial repositories is a threat for packages database integrity.
My question is : Why isn't it in official repositories, or at least in backports repositories ? It is the same *major version* as the one shipped by default with breezy, that means it is exactly the same with bugfixes, so we are in the case in wich even official repositories should be updated. And at least backports.
So ... why isn't it in yet ? Is there a good reason for that ?

Cheers

I have no say, but I think waiting for the .1 release might me a good idea.

I'm currently running 1.9.129 like many people.
2.0.1 should be out soon. Can somebody from the backports team please tell us if 2.0.1 could be backported when it hits dapper? I'm sure the whole (k)(X)Ubuntu community would appreciate an answer for this.

When a stable 2.0x hits Dapper, sure, I'll take a look at it for backporting.

Ok, thanks for the answer.

Check it there =)

Backport it !!!

OOo 2.0.1x from Dapper no longer compile cleanly under Breezy. I'm told this is due to yet another GCC Java transition in Dapper.

For now, we are going to have to rely on ~doko to make his packages....


P.S. politeness would be well appreciated. I'm a volunteer, after all

UPDATE: I've pinpointed the location of the issue in the 50MB build log

Now, to contact the Ubuntu dev on fixes....
