Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that over the weekend I played around
with Ubuntu metapackages and came up with one that pulls in all
packages that have to be installed in order to build Apache OpenOffice.
I have put the relevant files in my public_html directory on
people.apache.org. Try it out by adding it as additional package
repository and install package "build-aoo".
A. With the synaptic package manager:
1. Open the repositories dialog via menu Settings->Repositories
2. Select tab page "Other Software"
3. Click the "Add..." button
4. Fill in after "APT line:"
deb http://people.apache.org/~af/repository/ ./
5. Close all dialogs.
6. Update package list by clicking on the "Reload" button of the
tool bar.
B. or via the command line:
1. Add these lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://people.apache.org/~af/repository/ ./
deb-src http://people.apache.org/~af/repository/ ./
2. Execute in a shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-aoo
The build-aoo metapackage is not signed and on installation you will
be asked whether you want to install it anyway.
Comments are welcome.
Andre
