What is the oldest Linux that AOO can run on? Is there a policy wrt
baseline libraries/distro release?
I wonder what are the older Linux version that AOO-current (whatever
is the latest version) will run on?
I'm not concerned too much about kernel but glibc which is a common
cause of hassles.
And I'm trying to create a VM with the oldest possible, still
supported Linux version, with AOO on it.
CentOS 5.5 is still a target platform?
And going forward, what do you plan to use as a base? is there a
policy? like "the oldest version of CentOS still supported"? or
"latest CentOS -1" or what?
Or are the AOO Linux binaries just expected to work on any Linux
regardless of glibc version?
Thanks,
FC

Thanks Andrea. That was exactly what I was looking for!.

Version 4.1.3 is built on CentOS 5 with glibc 2.5.

We use the latest CentOS 5, so this would be CentOS 5.11. But binaries
will work on all the CentOS 5.x series and everything newer than it
(which basically means any modern, non-modern and even quite old
Linux-based desktop system).

For the current 4.1.x series the baseline is so far going to stay CentOS
5.x; I expect we may want to revise this after 4.1.4 is released, but
for the moment this was not discussed.

They will need glibc >= 2.5; this requirement is deliberately chosen so
that it is satisfied by virtually all Linux-based desktop systems
available today.

Fernando,
Here are the system requirements [1] for AOO 4.1.x:
GNU/LINUX ("LINUX")
* Linux kernel version 2.6 or higher, glibc2 version 2.5 or higher
* Free memory of 256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)
* 400 MB available disk space
* X-Server with 1024 x 768 pixel or higher resolution with at least
256 colors (16.7 million colors recommended)

Version 4.1.3 is built on CentOS 5 with glibc 2.5.

We use the latest CentOS 5, so this would be CentOS 5.11. But binaries
will work on all the CentOS 5.x series and everything newer than it
(which basically means any modern, non-modern and even quite old
Linux-based desktop system).

For the current 4.1.x series the baseline is so far going to stay CentOS
5.x; I expect we may want to revise this after 4.1.4 is released, but
for the moment this was not discussed.

They will need glibc >= 2.5; this requirement is deliberately chosen so
that it is satisfied by virtually all Linux-based desktop systems
available today.
