And that's why I was asking about whether it was possible to have
repositories on the documentfoundation.org servers.
Users of Debian (and its derivatives) could put "apt.documentfoundation.o
rg"
into their sources.list file and there would be a one-stop shop for that
distribution to put LibO into users hands. I'm assuming rpm's and other
distribution packaging could be setup in a similar fashion. In the same
light, Windows users would have a download source for updates.
Would this be a security headache?
Could this work for the average user?
Does this not seem a convenience for the end-user community at large?
Others could mirror this repository, but this would be the "upstream sour
ce"
for both users/distributions.
Are there other factors I'm missing?
AFAIK, go-oo people maintained a yum repository. So it is possible.
Ok, I unserstand now. Similar to the KDE repos where I got my Mandriva
KDE4.5.0 uptade from. They are not maintained by Mandriva but by a KDE
packager.
Seems to make sense to me.
From a marketing point of view, this would be in LibO's interest as the
update to LibO would then be a no brainer even from the user point of
view. Almost a form of "pushing" the LibO updates/upgrades through
without having to go through distro packaging.
In this case, then, it would be a case of having a dedicated
dev-packager for each flavour of packaging system used by the distros.
