Hi,
Ok, I suppose someone has got to ask this.
Yes. ;)
Are their plans to make an OOo 2.0 .deb for AMD64? AIUI it should
compile for AMD64 so I assume there will be a package eventually.
It's now in the RC stage so I presume it is close to being ready.
If there are plans when can we expect to see it appear as I am really
fed up of maintaining a chroot?
before it's an official release, you can do it like this, I think:
1) Loading of openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.diff.gz,
openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc, openoffice.org2_1.9.121.orig.tar.gz
from the location
http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/pool/main/o/openoffice.org2/
2) In the loading directory I have given the following commands
dpkg-source -x openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc
cd openoffice.org2_1.9.121
3) I have edited the file debian/control with vi debian/control and
I have changed all the occurrence i386 (near Architecture)
with amd64.
Note: I don't remember if I have also adjusted the Dependencies
4) I have given the command
dpkg-buildpackage
which have constructed many packages.
which I found in this list-archive of one month ago...
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/09/msg00019.html
When it will be added officially on debain-amd64, I don'nt know.
But the basic official release of OOo2 will be on 14th of October, I
think...
regards,
sigi.
