Guys,

What's the story with OpenOffice? All I find for 11.4 is 'libreoffice'. I
know they are supposed to be the same, but I don't really want to have
'libreoffice' on some computers with 11.4 and then 'OpenOffice' on the
remaning computers.

Is it going to be built? If not, anybody got a spec that will work to
create packages from the oo tarball?

You don't need to create packages from the OOo tarball. If you want
OOo over LibO, then remove LibO, and download the Linux version of OOo
from the OOo website. You can use the setup script included in the
tar.gz file and install as root... looks/works fine on any computers
running 11.4 and 11.3 that I've installed it on. If you don't want to
use the setup script, you can manually install the RPMs that are in
the tar.gz.

C,

That's what I did. I just unzipped the ooo tarball and then moved the rpms I wanted to install into a tmp dir and then just did rpm -Uvh tmp/*.rpm It worked great. (the only need for the tmp dir is that ooo 3.3 ships with an older version of JRE.
