Thats why there is an OO debian team that does just that. WT2.0 beta is not too much work tar xfvz the downloaded tar.gz file into something like /foo/foo/RPMS do as # alien -d *.rpm after having done cd /foo/foo/RPMS and as # dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb at last as # chmod 555 /opt/openoffice.org.1.9.xx/program/soffice works reasonably. allthough i doubt it is a beta. seems more an alpha. try it out for yourself groet'n steef
There are .deb distributions here: ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/680/ Just download the appropriate tar file and untar it to get the packages out of it. These are not official packages an will stall into /opt (as the rpms do). The milestones are available usually within a few hours of being tagged. I have found the new version (I am using m86) to be fairly stable so far. I have only had a few minor problems, but I will stick with it because of the better support for MS formats (a necessary evil for school). -Roberto -- Roberto C.
