I have put up a set of .debs of the upcoming OpenOffice.org 2.0 version here:
http://people.debian.org/~halls/openoffice/test/ooo1.9-java/ These are .debs generated by the new openoffice 'native installer' system, and are not of the same quality or caliber as Debian users would normaly expect to see. In particular: * There are no proper package Dependencies as there is no support in the upstream build system for these at the moment. I built these on a mostly Sarge system with mostly internal libraries. * pkgcheck gives some errors about *.dpkg-tmp when installing/upgrading. Just ignore them, and this step is going to be removed from the postinstall scripts soon anyway. * There is no system integration - menu entries or scripts in /usr/bin. Start OOo with /opt/openoffice1.9.62/program/soffice I hardcoded the package generation routine to generate .debs instead of .rpm. This will change in the future when the installer generation script has been changed to accept a format flag. There is a diff of the changes I made to generate the .diffs here: http://people.debian.org/~halls/openoffice/test/ooo1.9-java/m62_generate_debs.diff If you encounter problems with the resulting build, please file bug reports in OOo's upstream issuezilla. And, if anyone has time to help us, I'd really appreciate it if we could have some help in testing the bugs filed in the Debian bug tracker, to see if they have already been fixed in the 1.9x builds: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=maint&data=debian-openoffice%40lists.debian.org&archive=no&pend-exc=forwarded&pend-exc=pending-fixed&pend-exc=fixed&pend-exc=done&sev-exc=critical&sev-exc=grave&sev-exc=serious&sev-exc=important&sev-exc=wishlist&sev-exc=fixed&exclude=woody&exclude=moreinfo&exclude=pending You can find me or Rene on irc.debian.org, in channel #debian-oo. Have fun, Chris
