LibreOffice: We're switching, yes?

If so, testers look forward to it by M3? I assume at this early stage there is little difference (user-facing) between LO and OOo other than branding. But it would be good to know for bug reporting purposes.

LO is more or less go-oo from what I've read.

Right. And I personally expect (but of course can't gurantee or say it for sure) and hpe that those two will stay close together. But that#s just my personal, private hope.

Yes, this is how I understand it as well. Upgraded on the community and legal side no doubt (independent, non-profit Document Foundation; no copyright assignment; etc.), but at the code level it seems to be Go-oo for now.

However, this still leaves a question about bug-reporting. Should we continue reporting issues to the openSUSE/Novell tracker or should testers divert to the LibreOffice/Document Foundation/FreeDesktop tracker?

Do it like you did in the past when it was labeled 'OpenOffice.org'. If you filled bugs then to the openSUSE/Novell bugzilla because you used that version - continue doing so. If you got the version from DocumentFoundation, file the bug there. The bugfixes will get incorporated into each other packages. Maybe with a little delay depending on the frequency of packages being created, but that should not be too much.

For now things are straight forward, Factory still utilises Go-oo 3.2.1. But if openSUSE 11.4 is going to use LibreOffice 3.3 then I'd like to test and report on that instead (I'm sure others both in and out of the Testing Team would as well).

The switch to 3.3 in Factory will surely come. I just don't know yet when :) Stefan -- Stefan Behlert, SUSE LINUX - a Novell business, Project Manager Desktop Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Phone +49-911-74053-0 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Nuernberg; GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ah - it'd be great to get it packaged for OpenSUSE so we can ship it first / early :-) and it should not be at all difficult.

(ie. The LO team already accepted all (most?) the go-oo patches right off the bat)

Certainly, lots of patches have been merged, many are still pending; but LO is no go-oo :-) It should become a superset of all things OOo though. [ I'm excited about it anyhow ]. The other thing to do (plug plug) is to come to the openSUSE conference to hear more about it ... in a burst of prescience there was a LibreOffice track scheduled there before it was even announced :-) HTH, Michael. -- michael.meeks@novell.com <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
