OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 released

[linbetwin]

DistroWatch lists it in its "Latest Packages" section, but on openoffice.org it's still an RC.

Released or not, it still haven't reach the mirrors.
... at least all of them

http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/openoffice/stable/2.0.1/OOo_2.0.1_src.tar.gz

[esperantisto]

At least one mirror is reached:
http://ftp.belnet.be/pub/mirror/ftp.openoffice.org/stable/2.0.1/OOo_2.0.1_LinuxIntel_install_wJRE.tar.gz

…but RPM's, as usual…

Why don't you .... impatient .... guys just get the rpm, convert them to deb via alien and install them using dpkg:


gunzip OOo_2.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
tar -xvf OOo_2.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar
cd OOA680_m1_native_packed-1_en-US.8990/RPMS
sudo alien *.rpm
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.0.1-1_all.deb

Worked fine for me, except that there was a problem with the base module. But after removing that with synaptic and then to a dpkg -i on the failed module, everything was fine.

Cheers,

Riko

Work fine for me. To avoid any problems, I removed all traces of OpenOffice.org using Synaptic first.

In the last line of that guide, there's a -i missing. ;)

What are the changes? worth the upgrade or wait till it is released as an autoupdate via synaptic?

See post #12. :)

[curuxz]

lol but do the people HERE think its worth it, i mean Oo aint exactly going to say nah its rubish. Whats the honest verdict worth spending some time upgrading?

[Sebby]

Well, there's been some significant changes since 2.0 final. Being an ex-Windows (and thus Office) user, OpenOffice.org has been a bit buggy for me, and some how not quite as good. Upgrading from 1.9.5 (I think) to 2.0 final was a significant improvement, and I expect 2.0.1 to not disappoint. Having not had much of a chance to use it yet, I can't say much more than that. :p

[bootleg]

So fare it worked fine for me (german version).

Thanks. :smile:

I got OOo 2.0.1 a few days ago (Windows version). I wish they'd just update my current software rather than doing a complete reinstall everytime I update it. Especially for such a minor upgrade.

Still the best suite out there though.
