OOo4kids provided as .deb archives

EducOOo Logo

Yesterday, I finally figured out what was wrong with the upstream packaging, and the .deb we build install fine and can be deinstalled fine too. Just follow the instructions

The problem is, the upstream way of .deb is not the right one, and Jose Luis Redrejo who kindly helped me, suggested to return to the right Debian way.

One big issue, e.g., is that if you want to install Writer only, this is unclear with the current dependencies scheme, and needs to be seriously improved. Other issue, is there are not "Section" and "Priority" sections in the existing control file.

So, this must be changed, and we agreed to use the upstream way until 1.0 output, and then change for the real Debianization just after 1.0 is out (current milestone in progress is 0.9)

Experimental packages can be provided on demand. Either ask us the info by email, or (better) ask on IRC.

Last but not least : .rpm will follow soon if we find a volunteer.

Archlinux and OpenOffice.org port



Recently, Mélodie contacted me because OpenOffice.org 2.2 didn't work on ArchLinux distribution ( optimized for i686 and x86-64 architectures ).

After some tries, looks like it works fine( it is nice logo, isn't ? )

Important : we had a well known issue, we solved on IRC :
"no suitable windowing system found, exiting ..."

The problem was caused by bad libFLAC version.
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.8 /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.7 solved it !!

Thanks to ArchLinux to use OpenOffice.org :)

More infos :
ArchLinux.org, main website

Two french communities :
ArchLinux.fr and Archlinuxfr.org

and a complete howto to install the brand new 0.8 Voodoo just released !
