http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/05/how-to-install-apache-openoffice-34-via.html
Is there someplace on the website or wiki where we could add this
link? Maybe the release notes?

Whooowhooo - I started by installing Ubuntu 11.10, clean, into a
virtualBox VM - then followed the steps - the ppa is installing now, a
svelte 325 Megs download - and slow.. load maybe?
I'll let you know how it goes, when it finishes.

I installed from upubuntu yesterday and it was very easy and no problems so
far. One thing straight away is the better way that draw handles svg than
is the case with LibreO.

I downloaded a prebuilt (en-US) for 32 bit Ubuntu and installed in the usual way as set out on Forum tutorial.
No problems except it complained on first startup, needing a Java. I forced it closed, restarted and setup the Java quickly under /Tools /Options before it could complain. Been editing with it all day, no problems. en-GB version or Language pack would be nice.

Whooowhooo - I started by installing Ubuntu 11.10, clean, into a
virtualBox VM - then followed the steps - the ppa is installing now, a
svelte 325 Megs download - and slow.. load maybe?
I'll let you know how it goes, when it finishes.

OOo used to have install instructions for Linux and other OSes, and these were, IIRC, linked to from the a) download page b) support page. That latter, http://support.openoffice.org/ , could be reused, modulo today's reality.

I think you are right, in that it should not be on that page. I think we
(and I mean we) might of jumped a little too quickly there.
IMO upubuntu.com is, from what I can ascertain, acting in a way which
the project should not, necessarily, object to as there seems no real
harm, however one which personally I am not comfortable with. I rather
think in this case they certainly should of sought the project's
approval first.
With an eye to location on our site, as is, I would not put a link on
this page[1], it makes it seem too much a recommended and sanctioned
distribution IMO.
I would not be against treating it as a short term news item, and
perhaps in whatever manner the group decides to treat sites offering
CD(DVD) images or disks.

I see this is still in the install guide...maybe, given other
considerations that have recently popped up (so many in fact!), we
should just remove it?

Yes - for that particular PPA - that would be true.

OOo used to have install instructions for Linux and other OSes, and these were, IIRC, linked to from the a) download page b) support page. That latter, http://support.openoffice.org/ , could be reused, modulo today's reality.

yeah, no problem...I completely understand!! We need to spend SOME time
dealing with the "vetting" issue generally speaking.
Right now, we've also been notified of a Solaris build. What to do when
these things pop up?????

Hi Kay,
Since it's there now, I wouldn't run up and yank it down, but I am
rather close to doing so..depending. It definitely includes all the
mimetype icon replacements and changes to system menu settings, as you
can see from browsing the ppa logs - it if messes up the system I likely
will update the page though, alright?

Well you have a point...it can easily be removed by me or anyone who can
edit the page.
But, there is the disclaimer at the beginning and a Note at the end of
this particular section that these packages. It could probably use some
editing though,
...and this...
"managing the overlap with LO on the system"...hmmm...do you think this
should be covered in the instructions anyway? We could make an attempt.
Really, I don't know what in our standard release deals with this. If
someone would provide details to include in the installation
instructions, this would be very helpful.

I think you may be correct - but I'm still, if the indicator is to be
trusted, 3 hours away from the download finishing.

I'd agree - was excited about the first mention of the package, but it
should not go to our website without a bit more vetting, I would think;

Are we comfortable with this install? Do we know who upubuntu are?
As far as I can tell, they have done a file dif on an installed system
and zipped up the file changes and delivered them in a .deb (over
simplification - but you get the idea)
I think this packaging falls short in terms of proper structuring of
dependencies, managing the overlap with LO on the system, and general
PPMC control of the package. Pointing it out on the G+ is one thing,
writing it into our instructions might be something to rethink.
