[Bug 283137] Re: Please backport OpenOffice.org 3 to Hardy

[Benjamin Thyreau]

Hi again,
I could only second the above posts.

How could the fact that the current (LTS, aka non-geek) version of a
general-user oriented distribution is unable to run office software be
anything else than a *showstopper* bug ?

I personnally wouldn't point to the backport-team on that, since
deploying to the _current_ real-world LTS can therefore not be called a
"backport".

If really the distribution is unable to provides non-geek End User with
such fundamental need as running the office suite (which would be too
bad, and a major shift of policy for the whole Ubuntu project), it
really should be transparent and clearly written on the Ubuntu download
website, in order for normal Ubuntu users not too feel "tricked" like
the people posting above must feel now.

(of course, if LTS would better conform to LSB standards, downloading &
installing directly from the OpenOffice.org author's instead of relying
on third-party team would not be such an impossible task and the world
would be a better place)
