--- Comment #14 from Michael Stahl <mst...@redhat.com> ---
by the way, installing any number of different versions of the RPM
packages is already possible, i've got about 100 of them on my
build box, just use the bundled "install" script, it works even
on dpkg based systems...

the reason why LO has so many individual RPM/DEB packages is to
appease the obsessive-compulsive "there must not be any package
that depends on GTK+ / Qt / Java / Python / [whatever else my religion
disallows] installed on my system, and i don't *need* Draw so
want to save 5MB by not installing that" crowd.

perhaps we should just stop distributing binary builds for Linux from TDF,
and just rely on downstream distributions to take care of that?

basically upstream distribution is always going to suck, until
something like http://lwn.net/Articles/562138/ is widely
available - but since Linux distros currently can't agree
even on which low level package manager to use, it's going
to take some years...
