Not in Portage yet.:(

Anyone care to wager on whether or not it will be by the end of the day?:)

Okay I am just a little irritated that the only way that OpenOffice.org is distribution its products is through rpms. It seems a little short-sighted to me. Anyone know where to find the source to install or even work on creating a slackware package?

What are you talking about? The file I am downloading is a tarball.

When you open the file it is full of rpms.

Well there's always the rpm2tgz command. ;)

Anyway, it didn't take the Gentoo guys too long. I performed a emerge sync around 8:30 my time, and and they already had the binary version in portage. :)

I must have just missed it. When I synced this morning it wasn't there, but now it is.

Like they said in the ebuild ChangeLog: Time to Celebrate!:)

after playing with it for a few days in both linux and windows i'm pretty impressed. the 'oo base' app is sweet!

the 'oo base' app is sweet! I take it they've fixed most of the crashes then? ;)

(I tried it back around 1.9.100 or something like that (rev 100 I remember, just not the rest of the version number), and the database part was pretty full of crashes. I figured it was just the changes I'd been making to make it compile with gcc 3.3 (a lot of the template code wasn't accepted by the compiler), but then I tried it on windows, and it crashed just as often.)

If so, great! I've been meaning to try it again here; I'll have to see if I can get around to doing that.

yeah, it's been completely solid for me. i've only had a mysql db to test with though. i'll try an oracle connection soon and see how that goes.

It crashes every time I run it with no error part from 'unexpected error', even on the command line. I removed my ~/.openofficeorg2 folder and ran it again, got through registration and went to make a new file. Crashed again. I have to give it a 0.
