OpenOffice_org 3.2.1 beta2 available for openSUSE

March 29th, 2010 by

I’m happy to announce OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 beta2 packages for openSUSE. They are available in the Build Service OpenOffice:org:UNSTABLE project, are based on the upstream 3.2 sources and include many Go-oo fixes and improvements. Please, look for more details about the openSUSE OOo build on the wiki page.

The packages are beta versions and might include even serious bugs. Therefore they are not intended for data-critical usage. A good practice is to archive any important data before an use, …

As usual, we kindly ask any interested beta testers to try the package and report bugs. See also the list of known bugs.

Other information and plans:

The package finally builds also in openSUSE:Factory with gcc-4.5. We sugegst to update because it solves some Calc crashes and maybe more.

The beta3 build should be available two weeks from now. The first release candidate should be by the end of April. The final release should happen in May.

Into the Cloud

March 29th, 2010 by

Setting up your own Cloud infrastructure on SUSE has just become a lot easier. You can now use Kiwi and a mostly pre-configured set-up to build your own Cloud node images. Once these images are built setting up your Cloud can be accomplished in a few minutes.

Checkout the Cloud Recipe in the Kiwi Cookbook.

Happy Hacking
