[gentoo-user] LibreOffice

[András Csányi]

Hi All,

I would like to know when will be part of portage the LibreOffice? I
know this is an unsupported software (I have found in Gentoo Forum
unsupported software part).

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have libreoffice-bin installed from rion overlay and it is working fine
for the moment.

It will go into portage when someone puts it there and it gets stabilised.

You want it there. So, when are you going to become a gentoo dev and commit 
the first ebuild?

a) when there is a release?

b) 'libreoffice' - which is competing for the title 'most idiotic name ever' - 
is based on go-openoffice. Gentoo already uses  the go-openoffice patches.

Based on what I read on the Document Foundation's website, I do not believe it 
is based on Go-OOo at all; but that they just accepted the patches in 
"mainline".
From their FAQ (http://www.documentfoundation.org/faq/) - emphasis mine:


Q: What does this announcement mean to other derivatives of OpenOffice.org? 
A: We want The Document Foundation to be open to code contributions  from as 
many people as possible. We are delighted to announce that
the  enhancements produced by the Go-OOo team will bemergedinto  LibreOffice, 
effective immediately. We hope that others will follow  suit.

There is also what looks like a source build (haven't tried it) in
geki-overlay.

Just out of curiosity: I thought LibreOffice is just a renamed
OpenOffice because of trademark issues with Oracle and not even the name
is fixed for the moment. Doesn't that mean that the OpenOffice ebuilds
will slowly migrate to LibreOffice, anyway? When I look at the version
number, OpenOffice is currently at 3.2.1 and LibreOffice from
geki-overlay at 3.2.99.1.

LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.org. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 
Especially don't let Oracle tell you otherwise.

Read the press release on The Document Foundation's website for the truth.

From what I've been reading, it is indeed a fork of OpenOffice which now
happens to have just the code from OpenOffice and go-oo.

But the future will tell us if there will be enough differences to
justify an ebuild. As it's now a different project, it's pretty possible
differences will arise.

It also depends on whether Oracle and go-oo will want to incorporate
changes from LibreOffice.
