[Issue 127513] New: Increase Linux baseline to CentOS 6
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127513
Issue ID: 127513
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Increase Linux baseline to CentOS 6
Product: Build Tools
Version: 4.2.0-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: code
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: pescetti@apache.org
Target Milestone: ---
(This issue is a proposal; discussion on the dev list will be started at due
time, when we take decisions about 4.2.0)
We currently use CentOS 5 as a Linux baseline. Building on CentOS 5 guarantees,
in some way, that OpenOffice will run on all newer Linux versions. This
especially holds for the glibc requirement, at 2.5 in CentOS 5.
CentOS 5 is already unsupported, as of 31 March 2017:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-April/022350.html
So we should switch to a newer baseline that is still "old enough" to cover
virtually all desktop systems in use today. CentOS 6, released in July 2011 and
scheduled to receive updates until November 2020
https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product seems a good candidate. CentOS 6 comes
with glibc 2.12.

As noted by Peter on the dev list: this issue is obsolete and CentOS 6 (EOL Nov
2020) is no longer a reasonable option. If it has to be CentOS, then CentOS 7
(EOL June 2024) makes more sense. We can close this CentOS 6 issue.

--- Comment #2 from Andrea Pescetti <pe...@apache.org> ---
Issue 124948 actually seems to describe two completely separate issues, as seen
from the developers' perspective: one about wrong permissions (user or system
problem, it seems; and thus the issue was marked fixed) and one about a missing
library.
Moving the baseline to CentOS 6 won't affect either of the 2 issues: it is
simply "the oldest Linux system where OpenOffice will run". We could pick any
distributions, there is nothing distribution-specific there.
As for the library issue, it should probably be copied to another issue, or the
title of Issue 124948 modified and the issue itself reopened, so that we can
work on that for 4.2.0.
