FWIW, I've done
alien -i *.rpm
in the OOo 2.0 RPMS subdirectory yesterday, and that worked smoothly.
Is there anything more sophisticated than one should / could do?
I have to say, though, that I was a bit surprised to find RPMs, rather
than the install script / program with 1.1.4, in the 2.0.0 archive. I
thought I might have mis-clicked and downloaded a rpm rather than a
generic archive, but on the website [1], I found that
OpenOffice.org 2.0 supports native installation mechanisms. For
example, .MSI and .CAB files are provided on Microsoft Windows;
RPM files are available for Linux.
Well, as we know, RPM is not "native", but alien to some flavours of
Linux... ;-)
