Issue ID: 127513 Issue Type: DEFECT Summary: Increase Linux baseline to CentOS 6 Product: Build Tools Version: 4.2.0-dev Hardware: All OS: All Status: CONFIRMED Severity: Normal Priority: P5 (lowest) Component: code Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org Reporter: pesce...@apache.org Target Milestone: --- (This issue is a proposal; discussion on the dev list will be started at due time, when we take decisions about 4.2.0) We currently use CentOS 5 as a Linux baseline. Building on CentOS 5 guarantees, in some way, that OpenOffice will run on all newer Linux versions. This especially holds for the glibc requirement, at 2.5 in CentOS 5. CentOS 5 is already unsupported, as of 31 March 2017: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-April/022350.html So we should switch to a newer baseline that is still "old enough" to cover virtually all desktop systems in use today. CentOS 6, released in July 2011 and scheduled to receive updates until November 2020 https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product seems a good candidate. CentOS 6 comes with glibc 2.12. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
