OpenOffice 2.0 is out now!

<< < (3/10) > >>

WMD:
Follow-up:  It turns out that the "10.2" package was just a repackaged version of the "tarball of RPMs" binary from the website.  So it works just fine.  It's RC3, so apparently I'm not missing anything. :)

Aloone_Jonez:
If (like me) you hate RPMS then post your view here.

WMD:
It's not that I hate RPMs, it's that a major program only has official binaries in RPM format.  It also sucks in this case, because OpenOffice already HAD a generic installer that didn't require any package system, and they got rid of it.

Aloone_Jonez:
Yes that's true and that's (in my opinion) one of the good things about most Windows programs and the bad thing with most Linux programs, apart from OpenOffice 1.x and Firefox, I can't think of any others at the moment. Seriously I think they should get their heads out of their arses and bring back the old installer, they could still support packages if they wanted to.

themacuser:
w00t, now to dl for os x and install. I'm on RC2 at the moment.
