Go-oo -> Libreoffice

TomMan · 2010-12-15 19:42:34

Hi,

As it says here on the Go-Openoffice website:

Go-oo joins forces with LibreOffice
Go-oo shares much of its goals and philosophy with The Document Foundation's LibreOffice project, we're therefore supporting LibreOffice since it's inception, and are in the process of merging most of our patches over, as well as migrating to Document Foundation infrastructure. Going forward, the Go-oo project will be discontinued in favor of LibreOffice.

I think it would be useful if the go-openoffice package should have a replaced by options set as libreoffice.

Also, after doing an update on Friday, go-openoffice doesn't actually run and gives a "Symbol Lookup Error".

go-openoffice isn't the repo anymore:

#  pacman -Si go-openoffice                                                                                                                                                   
error: package 'go-openoffice' was not found

Wouldn't it be easier to uninstall go-openoffice and install libreoffice?

That is what I did in the end, but I think that it could be useful for anyone who is confused.

This was not my computer, I had installed go-openoffice on the computer about half a year ago and forgotten that I had installed go-openoffice. This was confusing when it just wouldn't run any more, so it would be more useful that the package says to upgrade to libreoffice.

True. Too bad I found this thread AFTER I'd found a solution on my own. Spent some precious time on this.
