(filed in Issue Tracker as issue #46333) "Native Linux install package using autopackage" http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46333 ----
The latest version of OOo now (OOo 2.0 Beta) provides a native install package for Windows platform (using .msi file). For Linux, OOo officialy provided a RPM package. This issue proposes OOo to have a Linux install package which using an Autopackage framework. Autopackage's direct target is end-user. It provides easy-to-use GUI installer and uninstaller (in the same fashion as Windows's "Add/Remove Program"). It also resolve dependencies automatically, download required softwares/libraries from the net and install them on the fly. I believe that Autopackage will give a better experience for OpenOffice.org users. Major Linux applications that now successfully use Autopackage are including Gaim, Inkscape and AbiWord (experimental).
