*All* source packages. Binariy packages are an entirely different issue, as they're always generated for a specific platform (eg. for old legacy platforms w/o proper package management, it's easy to set up an minimal solution that pulls together everything into a superbig selfcontained binpkg). > > Up-to-date software can also be used on old Unixes / Linux > > systems without too much pain. > > Sure, as long as you know what you are doing and packages > from various 3rd-party repositories (or self-built) are > in sync with what LibreOffice expects. It's all about proper interfaces.

For old legacy systems, simply create an own micro-distro. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
