--- Comment #5 from Hans Deragon <h...@deragon.biz> ---
Current version of LibreOffice for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is LibreOffice 3.5.7.2. 
Ubuntu LTS 12.04 will be supported until April 2017.

And no, people should not be forced to upgrade their OS to get a more recent
version of their desktop application.  And even so, the version of LO for
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is probably now frozen and not being updated anymore.

If I report bugs about LibreOffice on this version, the first thing LO people
tell me is to try it on the latest version; bug reports from 3.5.7.2 are not
accepted.  Also, even if they were, there is no mean to test the bug fix since
the repository version of LO is not updated.

Given that exporting to MS format is crucial for many, having the latest
version is a must for many to ensure that the least formating is lost during
the conversion.  That is my reason why I have to get the latest version of LO.

Why do Windows and Mac, proprietary OS, get so easy installer from the website,
but not Linux, an ally of LibreOffice in the open source movement?  Think of
the non computer savy user who just wants the latest version.
