I am no expert in this area but would it be possible to define a meta
package that do some clean unintall of older basis packages and desktop
integrations?


Some time ago, openSUSE replaced their go-oo build with LibO (without
a warning to the users...). The update cleaned previous installs so
some kind of scripting magic associated with the new packages should
be possible.

I haven't tried to install AOO in "update mode" by folloiwng these instructions: (issue 119162 -- https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119162)

* upgrade to 3.4 by command: rpm -Uvh o*.rpm

(I installed it in a separate directory as a "new " install a while back.)

I will do this today, but...

if there IS a problem with installing over 3.3, is there some reason we can't tell Linux users to de-install 3.3 first before installing 3.4 as part of the release notes?

Scripting this de-installation might be a bit tricky depending on distro, but all Linux users should know how to de-install on their own.

and re openSuSE and maybe others -- the symlink from the original OOo main, soffice, noramlly "/usr/bin/soffice", will still need to be investigated -- maybe also include in release notes.
