Hi, I do not understand the strategy to make Base and Libreoffice been accepted: please make simple for users !
- I have a station with Ubuntu 11.10 with LO (libre office) 3.5.7.2 through the http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/libreoffice-3-5/ubuntu (I had to change this ppa recently otherwise I was still in previous version : not simple as well !) - I have a notebook with Ubuntu 12.04 with LO 3.5.4.2 without ppa change, originaly installed On Ubuntu 11.10 : 1/ I had to add BAse to be installed (why is not it from scratch ?) 2/ After a use of Base as a front end to Mysql DB, I mention that I can not modify the reports made by the wizard !! Why it is not installed from scrach ? 3/ I read that I have to install report-builder, so I go to synaptic and choose that (it is a version 1.2 .1 only), I install : then not report builder nor wizard runs !! (desintall builder and reinstall base with synaptic wizard runs after) SO , in clear : to use Base and design reports : what do I have to do (simple)?

Although there is one in the experimental brance of debian http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libreoffice-report-builder. I can no longer work without reports as they don't open. I use libreoffice base as a frontend to a mysql database. This is not an SRU candidate due to the following outstanding issues: + To include report-builder in main: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/992232/comments/32 The root of the problem is the Java-Maven-dependency-mess -- this makes it nontrivial to enable Report-Builder to be included in main -- I would need the help of the Java team to get that done in time. + To include report-builder in universe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/992232/comments/35 That would essentially mean rewriting the build system of the extensions it is currently build inside LO. WORKAROUND: In Precise only: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-universe sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-report-builder To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/992232/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
