Hi all,

How soon will there be an openSUSE 10.2 RPM for OOo 2.2? I would like to
stick to the OOo that was "created by Novell, Inc. based on
OpenOffice.org". The latest release I have is Build 2.0.4.7.


You can get later openSUSE 10.2 editions of OpenOffice.org from here:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/OpenOffice.org/openSUSE_10.2/ but
it hasn't received the 2.2 RPMs yet.


Is this the NOVELL-Fork of OOo or the release of the OOo project ?
I read somewhere NOVELL forked sometime ago to put in features that
won't get in the regular OOo build, like better file-filters for MS-Office.
Therefore the NOVELL thingy was not based on the most modern release.

That was just a bogus groklaw report. We simply patch OO like every
other distro, we just happen to patch more (and with features) because
we have a good sized team working on OO. We send it all upstream
however and most of it eventually ends up in the base OO.
