How do I get OpenOffice.org 3.2.1?

[kyonides]

Even if I knew the answer a couple of months ago, it seems I was daydreaming or something because I can't find a single link to some ppa that could let me install it on my PC. Is it available for LL? What's the ppa or backport repository?

A quick search at Launchpad revealed OpenOffice 3.2.1 for Lucid here:

They are now in the backports repo - I'm now running it after a simple update

OK, that would mean I'd install OOo but not the so called GO-OO which is the one offered by Canonical, right?

This was the latest automatic update, which was today:

OpenOffice.org 3.2.1

ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Ubuntu package 1:3.2.1-6ubuntu1~10.04.1

Yes, although the one offered in the update obviously has better integration. On my machine, it flies too.

And GO-OO has mono as a dependency, if my memory serves me well...

Re: How do I get OpenOffice.org 3.2.1?

I think the distros must do something to it as I run the repo version but there's no mono on my machine

[toad]

Re: How do I get OpenOffice.org 3.2.1?

And it appears you are right I just installed it and see mono as an optional dependency only.

[kyonides]

Re: How do I get OpenOffice.org 3.2.1?

So it doesn't include mono or cil, that sounds great... It's a shame it does offer an optional mono package after all...

Use official scribbler's ppa, Go OO is optimized OO but has no mono.

As long as it's only optional...
It's an even bigger shame that you can't have the database component without that Java disease, which is at least as ugly as mono >
Just good that I didn't need the database component so far.

Worse is that if you have any documents that have passwords, you can't open them without java

OK, I am baffled. I verified I have the backports repo enabled, my 10.04 system is dist-upgraded as of this minute, and my OOO is sitting solidly on 3.2.0:

dibl@lucid:~$ uname -a

What the heck goes on here?
