Re: [CentOS] LibreOffice rpm's vs Centos testing repo
Dear All, I thought the advantage from using CentOS-Testing repository would be: * I then have a Selinux module * Automatic update with yum update. Although that's maybe not a good idea, because I'd have to leave the Testing-repo enabled. I tried installing from Libreoffice.org before, but got into trouble when logging in with ssh -X and then opening LibreOffice. greetings, J.

Well, if the packages are available in Testing-repo, I vote for this solution too, even if I will check-update manually (with --enablerepo and libreoffice package name). Because there won't be updates too often, and because I'll let testing-repo disabled here by default.

So Ljubomir, you have unpacked the official rpms and made a repo out of them? That might work, with a meta-package that would pull in the core stuff.. Still not very elegant. I really wish LO people would make a proper repo … I'll mention this in my letter to Santa this year. In the meanwhile we're probably going to have LO 3.4.5 in 6.3, so it's nice.

I still have them in my repository for EL 5.x. Main reason was that OpenOffice installer from tar was not working, and tar for Serbian language was lacking desktop integration for RHEL/Fedora, so I had to unpack and install via yum/rpm manually using complicated commands I had to write down to remember, then separately adding Serbian Language support, and I hated that. Issuing "yum install ooo3-sr" to install it along with Serbian language support was much easier :D -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

Jake, Sure, 3.5 is on the to do list. I see this trend a lot, to make repos out of official rpms (at least Ljubomir is also doing it). Maybe it's worth doing this on a bigger scale.

One interest in using "official" RPMs, from OpenOffice or LibreOffice, is their limited set of dependencies. They don't require gnome, and this makes a big difference on headless, soundless machines.

Hi, The setup is pretty basic (imo) because the repo is used only in a LAN and never used outside of this LAN, I do not worry about generating delta's or stuff like that. I don't even GPG sign them. The local repo is also used for other self compiled RPM's. These would usually be tagged with a ".hr" tag (ie, -.el6.hr.x86_64) for easy removal. But as far as I am aware to do that, with official RPM's it would require a rebuild. So what I tend to do is just open up filezilla, ftp to a libreoffice mirror, browse my way to libreoffice stable RPM's, and download them to "/var/www/html/repository/" (Which is actually just a link to /home//rpmbuild/RPMS) Obviously the repository it's self is pre-setup because of the other packages, so as my normal user next up I would just run: createrepo --update ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/ createrepo --update ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/SRPMS A quick check for SELinux permission's and it's good to go :-). Now from local machines on the LAN I would just use "yum install libobasis* libreoffice*" etc, then pick and remove the unnecessary extra packages. and "yum update" takes care of updates :-) (after I have redone the above..) This is something most user could easily do them selves, and it could also be done publicly, however it is still a "messy" method even if somebody else does it for you (and you just enable/add the repo). I would still prefer to be able to have RPM's built specifically for EL6. I guess that raises the question of "You have the repo, rpmbuild etc setup, why don't you build them your self?", and to answer it: Because I do not have the CPU Power :-) (Still got a Single core here) But yeah.. that's basically all I do :-).
