No LibreOffice, no continuation with Fedora. LO better be there with F39. Without it, all you have is Firefox. It is not enough to keep Fedora Diehards from jumping to another popular distribution.

So, what is the contingency plan then? LibreOffice is a huge package and I could imagine that taking over maintenance of it is not an easy endeavor. Taking into consideration the circumstances explained in replies later, I can understand that hands were tied. Yet, the decision to stop shipping LibreOffice is one that affects future RHEL releases and Red Hat's customers. Yet, the decision to orphan the LibreOffice stack of packages affects a much larger group of users. What will we ship in Fedora if we were to follow in Red Hat's footsteps? LibreOffice Flatpak? That may prove to be the straw that broke the camel's back. As I said before, I don't want to to reiterate the Flatpak vs. RPM discussion. But maybe that topic needs to be picked up and discussed, so we get a better understanding of where this will leave us. Let's hope that at least some lessons will be learned from this rather rushed decision. At least that is what it appears to be. -- Sandro _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
