[opensuse-factory] Libreoffice 5.1.0.2 in the 20160126 snapshot
Why was Libreoffice 5.1.0.2 pushed through to Tumbleweed when it's only a RC and not final released software? I thought the policy of TW was to be software that's been released by upstream. There is still at least one more RC before it's released in about 1.5-2 weeks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

it looks that way, i get an error trying to load "calc" , writer seems okay.

It works on my system. But 5.1.0.3 is available. Not sure whether there is a fix for your problem in there though: http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/ftp/pub/mirror/tdf/libreoffice/src/... Ciao, Michael.

Ciao, Michael.
Thanks I've just changed repo to http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Factory/openSUSE_Fact... from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/Factory/openSUSE_13.2... and it seems to work now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I don't see that here. LO components start fine. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht Official openSUSE Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I remember reading discussions how it was supposed to be released packages only, with rare special exceptions for RC packages. You don't see many RC's being put in there, but it's happened a few times with the new releases of LibO. Also, from the definition of Tumbleweed, it states it should be stable and tested software. An RC is by definition not that. It might be fine for them to roll into Factory for testing, but they probably shouldn't flow into TW until they are actually released. https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed The Tumbleweed distribution is a pure *rolling release* version of openSUSE containing the latest stable versions of all software instead of relying on rigid periodic release cycles. The project does this for users that want the newest stable software. Tumbleweed is based on Factory https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Factory, openSUSE's main development codebase. Tumbleweed is updated once Factory's bleeding edge software has been integrated, stabilized and tested. Tumbleweed contains the latest stable applications and is ready and reliable for daily use. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

There is no distinction between Factory and Tumbleweed to be made: what was called Factory 2 years ago is now called Tumbleweed (ok, it gained a lot of stability and automated testing in between, so it clearly is more stable than back in the days) at best, you can consider 'Factory' the thing before it's tested and released.. but you can't get it in an easy way... and it is released as one tested unit. No exception on any package can be made. So far, the decision if an RC is 'stable' or not has always been at the discretion of the maintainer. in case of LO, the fact that they call it 'RC' is more strategic - just like some other packages never get our of their beta: they do not want to 'promise' too much (look at wine: it takes months between 'stable' releases - hence Tumbleweed comes with the devel versions) Iw would argue, it stays on a case-by-case issue: if the maintainer feels it's stable and accepts getting smashed by bug reports if it's not: he can submit it. For users on the other hand that means: don't be afraid of reporting bugs! BUt not just that you do not like the version number chose by any random group (why LO calls their RC's as 5.1.0.3 when it's RC3 is beyond any logic anyway: 5.1.0 would logically be the release, and an added .3 makes it 'more recent and fixed') Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
