Sadly, Ed Drinkwater tried to bring up the suggestion that Betas should not replace exisiting LO installations on the developers list & was met with negative/childish responses from some of the developers - see: <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.devel/9783> [Installing beta versions replacing stable versions] I found some of the responses unacceptable & posted my opinion in the thread: <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.devel/9830> Odd that OOo has no problems building a beta build using a -dev install parameter, but LO seems to think this is 'difficult' and/or something of a mistery. For others that wish to muck about with LO Beta's, I recommend installing in a parallel/sandbox rather than messing up your entire system. Instructions are here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Note: not tried those, but I've always used: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel and those have always worked well for me. Added note: when you've multiple versions of the same LO/OOo application installed, I've found that it's best to just modify the /program/bootstraprc to point to a new ~/ user profile. For example I'd change ~/.openoffice.org to ~/.openoffice.org3 for the modified verision. LO devs need to learn how to install their beta/RC's as /opt/libreoffice-dev and autocreate the user profile as ~/.lo-dev or similar. It's not rocket science & certainly if OOo can do it, LO can as well. That said, I'd just be happy to see installable 3.4 Betas at this point... -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
