They finally released the Dutch OpenOffice.org 2.0.1!

I noticed that it didn't have Dutch spellingschecker at first, but that was easily solved by downloading it from Bestand > Assistenten > Nieuwe woordenlijsten installeren
A few clicks later the Dutch spellingschecker was installed :thumbup:

I thought this was supposed to be OpenOffice 2.0.1. :confused:

If you have the new mail merge feature, it's 2.0.1. They could've just not bothered to update the about page, or care little about the minor number (although it should still be shown somewhere, IMO).
And make sure it's 2.0.1 that you downloaded!

[Aloone_Jonez]

I've found a help page on mail merge so I'm assuming it's 2.0.1.

Just upgraded to OpenOffice 2.1.

What everone here think about it?

I would tell you if they hadn't switched to a shitty method of distribution in 2.0 (Fucking RPMs)

They have RPMS? Where?  All I could find  was this.

Code: [Select]


mobrien@kaos openoffice]$ ls
OOo_2.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz


[solemnwarning]

They replaced the multi-distro binary installer they used to have with a tarball of RPMs

[H_TeXMeX_H]

just extract the rpms into one folder and it will run statically just fine.

To do this you could use rpm2cpio then pipe to cpio to extract or (on slackware) rpm2targz

no debs!im outraged

This is exactly the kind of probelm I've been talking about in the software installation thread.

Thanks you, I'll remember that if I ever use a non-rpm distro again.

How would a nube know you can do that?

I can't remember where now but I do remember being able to download a dep package from somewhere.

I'm assuming you want to install OpenOffice.org 2.1 on Ubuntu, just Google it.

[yahurd]

no, i use dreamlinux but, seeing as ubuntu is the most popular distro, because its noob friendly it would make since to release some universal debs

[H_TeXMeX_H]

Well, here is a script to get it all done in one shot ...

Using rpm2cpio and cpio:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

tempdir=/tmp/oootmp$RANDOM

if test ! $# = 2
then
echo "Usage: `basename $0` inputfile outputdir"
echo 'For example:'
echo "`basename $0` OOo_2.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz /home/bob/Stuff"
else
mkdir $tempdir
tar -xzf "$1" -C $tempdir
cd $tempdir/*/RPMS
for i in *.rpm
do
rpm2cpio $i | cpio -id --quiet
done
mv opt "$2"
rm -rf $tempdir
fi

exit 0
