Hi garyemiller,

I installed OOom113 next to OOom104 on Ubuntu-Linux (which is surely no
rpm-based distribution) using the rpms downloaded from www.openoffice.org...
Both installations were useable and I didn't get your problem...

== no Update of OOom104 to OOom113...

maybe rpm2tgz/rpm2targz is a tool you could use?

Yes, the 113 works much better.  It still requires quite a bit of digging in 
the 
man pages to figure out which switches in the rpm program you need.  This
is not gonna work for the average user.  How about looking to the NVIDIA, Xfree
and Xorg install processes?  They provide some bulletproof scripts to run.

Sure, I can use a tool like that, but when helping my Realtor friend on the
phone that is NOT going to work.  The old OO installer worked just fine, the new
one, in windows and linux, is adding to my call volume when I recommend OO. 
THis is causing me to recommend OO to many fewer people than before.

Hi garyemiller,

I thought you mentioned the OOo-source... sorry, my mistake...

Of course you need to have rpm installed to install our OOo-RPMs...

The first three distris of the top10-distributions on distrowatch.org are
Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake...

We decided to use rpms when we switched to native installers...
(MSI on Windows, Packages on Solaris, RPM on Linux)

Dunno where you are looking on distrowatch.  The top 3 for the last 12 months
are Mandriva, Fedora and Ubuntu.  Ubuntu, Mandriva and MEPIS for the last 3
months.  

It hardly matters since IMHO most people that have rpm distros do not use the
rpms due to their limitations.  Even for those distros and installations that do
you are basing your install on package names that are not standard (/bin/sh!)
thereby negating any advantage to rpms.

You HAD a solution that worked on every Linux I know of and you are tossing it
away for a grossly inferior solution.  Trying to support the native package type
for all 400+ linux distros is a loosing battle.

Hi garyemiller,

thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice.org...

Which distribution do you use?
which version of rpm do you use?


BTW: 
Please have a loook at 

ftp://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/developer/680_m95/ or at 

ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/mirror/OpenOffice/developer/680_m95/

or follow an other link on the download page of openoffice.org 

 http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html


There you can find the Sourcecode in a *.tar.gz file which doesn't contain 
rpms...

I am using a lot of different distros, but the one I use the most is Slackware
10.0.  On top of that I had to find a pretty old rpm to find the source to rpm
in a tar.gz.  With old rpm I could then get the new rpm version 4.0.2 to
install.  Since slackware does not use RPMs the dependency tree is then empty. 
I could live with that, until 1.9.79 got installed and then I could figure no
way to install 1.9.95 alongside it for testing.  Since 1.9.95 does not work with
my printer I had to then do rel upgliness to get 1.9.79 back yet leaving 1.9.95
for testing.

Please just bring back the old installer!  It just always worked right.

Hmm, interesting pointer to the sources, but since the binaries almost work why
would I want to do that?
