We should try one of two approaches: 1) Do the .deb and .rpm pages and maybe a openSUSE specific page and leave all the rest to their own distro-specific support , and maybe ask for a nice packaged source installer to cover anything else from the the devs. 2) Expect that anyone can install from their repos, and let the developers that need to install from packages/source to their own luck (after all they *are* developers) Either way I think (and that is why I stopped working on the file and on the installation wiki page) that this is work with no future. All major distros have LibO in their repos, and people trying to test the RC releases have managed to install them in their systems with-without-despite our futile efforts to make available install instructions.
