LibreOffice : Default office suite in Ubuntu 11.04



Founder of the Ubuntu project, Mark Shuttleworth, said that next versions of the Ubuntu OS will ship with the LibreOffice an open source office suite.

On January 3rd, 2011 Matthias Klose officially confirm the same. He said,

The OOo packaging is only available for version 3.2.1, there doesn’t exist any packaging for 3.3 based on our ooo-build packaging. ooo-build is now used in LO, and the packaging is converted to use LO. The uno framework is one of the basic things which is shared with the OOo packaging, and I don’t see any easy way how to make the two uno frameworks from both source packages available. The consequence is that the old OOo packages are removed/replaced with the installation of the LO packages. As long as we want to update to *O 3.3 there currently is no other way than to go with LO. The OOo packaging did accumulate a lot of changes, hacks and workarounds, which I didn’t apply to the LO packaging, plus some Ubuntu specific changes are not yet ported to LO 3.3. As long as there is no LibreOffice package in Ubuntu, these issues are tracked in Launchpad. If you report new issues, please tag these issues with `lo33′.

    F$@k Oracle! Practically every open source project they have acquired and subsequently ruined now has a much better community fork and all the community developers and testers have left them for dead.

    F**k you Oracle, f**k you very much! Fuck Barry Ellison too!
