![]() Versions 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 totalled 35 million downloads so far (not counting mirrors). Two new versions, 3.4.0 and 3.4.1, were released in the last 8 months and a major update, 4.0, is in the works and scheduled for April 2013. OpenOffice packagers are available to work together with LibreOffice developers, offlist or on fedora-devel, to reach the minimum goal of this feature, i.e., support installation and coexistence of LibreOffice (default) and OpenOffice.Īpache OpenOffice (formerly ) is an extremely popular free and open-source office software suite.ĭonated by Oracle to the Apache Software Foundation in 2011, it is now developed and supported by a thriving community it graduated from the Apache Incubator in October 2012 and it is now an Apache Top-Level Project. A request to fedora-devel for more information on packages already using environment modules, as recommended by FESCo, has gone unanswered. Packaging discussions have not gone into details yet. This is especially important giving the timing: there would be nothing worse than seeing Fedora 19 and OpenOffice 4 released on the same day and discovering that users cannot try OpenOffice due to incompatibilities. What should be kept of this feature, that can possibly be retargeted to this aim, is that LibreOffice (default) and OpenOffice can coexist without posing problems to users.In light of this, shipping OpenOffice 3.4.1 does not seem a sensible contingency plan due to the number of backports needed and to the fact that all OpenOffice QA activities are now done on the trunk. Some patches have been committed to the OpenOffice trunk (leading to version 4) and dependencies updated to work with the current Fedora javac, but OpenOffice does not fully respect the No Bundled Libraries policy yet. ![]() This implies a large overlapping of development and QA cycles. ![]() According to the latest OpenOffice Release Plans OpenOffice 4 and Fedora 19 are set to release on the same day.Removed from F19 features list since the new OpenOffice 4 schedule estimates a release date in June can be reproposed as feature in case it's done by the 100% complete deadline.Add Apache OpenOffice, the free productivity suite, to Fedora. ![]()
