Bug ID: 91545
Summary: provide plain ZIP/TAR downloads
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: kolafl...@kolahilft.de
Plain ZIP or TAR.*z downloads for Linux and Windows would be pretty nice!
Especially for pre-release versions (Beta, etc. ...).
On Linux, it would be even more useful than those rpm and deb filebundles which
are currently being provided. Because if people want to install LibreOffice via
their package management, they normally use their distributions package
sources. So if people download LibreOffice for Linux on www.libreoffice.org
they probably would be much more happy with a plain ZIP/TAR.
I know, I can do this on Linux. But a lot of people don't and a plain ZIP/TAR
would be much more straight forward!

I'm not really an OSX user. But i guess on OSX this is not such a problem,
because LibreOffice on OSX is just a plain *.app folder in a dmg archive.
