there is one thing that seems illogical to me and so far i haven't heard
good arguments in favor of it :)
why create distro-specific integration packages ?
why not desktop environment specific ?
for example, in slackware i can use suse package, i just have to move
files from /opt/kde3/* to /opt/kde/*
so, a single package would do, installation script could search known
locations for kde and copy files to the correct location.
this would allow a single package to work for most if not all
distributions and result in smaller download file size
the same basically could be done with other desktop/widnowing
environments, i think (actually there is a package gnome-integration, i
just haven't bothered to check it's contents ;) )

there will be supported on the major release. also I posted a document
to transform the rpm2tgz for slackware. You might want to have a look
at this on installation.openoffice.org project.

hi.
i am not happy about rpm only binaries snapshot.
yes, i am using slackware.
yes, i know that someone already got rpm2tgz working.
this is a philosophical issue, i was very happy about "all platform
binaries",
making openoffice the only *office for me.
