I have hastily-created, ill-tested packages for OpenOffice 1.0 available
for those who love to live on the bleeding edge ;-)
The only known issue is that RPM will not upgrade from the build 641 packages
from to the 1.0 packages (641 > 1.0, so rpm complains that these 1.0 packages
are old, DOH!). This is easily fixed by removing the 641 packages first
(rpm -e OpenOffice OpenOffice-configs). I'll "properly" fix this later.
I also plan on changing OpenOffice-configs so that the default is to save
files in Word/Excel/PowerPoint formats. This is the #1 request I hear from
teachers who are interested in switching over to Linux/OpenOffice.
Please don't use these packages unless you're willing to wreck total havoc
on your system. Buyer beware, don't eat yellow snow, etc, etc.
That said, for what little testing I've done v1.0 is MUCH FASTER and I have
not seen any show-stopping bugs. Let me know what you think, good or bad.
