OpenOffice.org 1.1 for PPC Linux should appear tomorrow in YDL mirrors

Wed Oct 1 13:45:03 2003

Hi,

FYI:  just in case anyone wants it, I have uploaded the final version of 
OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 for PPC Linux to the terrasoft site today and moved it 
over so that it should be mirrored tonight and appear on most YDL mirrors 
tomorrow in pub/yellowdog/software/openoffice/

Included there is a software development kit for building OOo add-ons and 
remotely controlling OOo via C++, Java, Pythn, etc,  an installation/setup 
guide in pdf format, and a collection of ppc linux specific source pieces 
(two minor patches) and all of the binary pieces one might need to build 
their own version on YDL 3.0 when added to the official OpenOffice.org 1.1 
source tarball.

Once things slow down a bit more I will look into making RPMs for this release 
(for OOo 2.0 it is planned to use native RPM based installation for all unix 
platforms).

Feedback and bug reports welcome at OOo's Issuezilla site.  Please add 
khendricks@openoffice.org as CC to any issue you feel might be ppc linux 
specific.

The binaries require YDL 3.0 or any other PPC Linux distribution that supports 
glibc-2.3.2.

Hope this helps,

Kevin
