AOO as a portable application
Hi all,
I would know if the ASF will produce in the future a portable version of
AOO.
I think such a version could help to promote the use of AOO, as most recent
computers are able to run even big applications directly from an USB key.
It's also nice for demos, etc.
Regards

Hi all,
the portable version of ApacheOpenOffice doesen't works exactly as the Zhe
Liu's description.
FYI, here you (all) can better understand how X-AOO launcher works:

After building, There is an archive version of AOO generated. You can
directly extract it to anywhere and then use it. No installation
process is required. Do you mean this way?

WinPenPack has just updated their site: they are now offering a "live"
or "portable" version of Apache OpenOffice 3.4 called
"X-ApacheOpenOffice". See
http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1341
to download it.
Their old page for X-OpenOffice.org (serving version 3.3) has been
updated too, and now points to the X-ApacheOpenOffice page.

It's just a lenghty procedure. The Apache OpenOffice PPMC took very
(very!) long to authorize the WinPenPack version because we have
multiple levels of review (trademarks, licenses, technical differences
with the official version and so on) and several issues were quite new
to Apache.

Just connect the dots...

Many thanks for the links which lead to some interesting portable
applications.
I hope to see AOO portable, but perhaps there are some difficulties for
legal issues.
We will see.

Howdy Guy,
Ah, good question - I assume you know that OpenOffice was available for
a long time in 'portable garb' from at least two third party sources:
The transition over to Apache OpenOffice just put a kink in things, but
my impression is that this is about to be cleared up.
I'd direct you to this link:
http://portableapps.com/development/outdated
for one example - look for a change in that status in short order, or so
is my guess ;)
