About Java

Java Runtime Environment is a software prerequiste for LibreOffice, see the relevant WPKG installer example. It's the reason why i have add it as a <depends> package.

Warning about OpenOffice

LibreOffice will replace previous OpenOffice installations (up to 3.3.0 version). Keep this in mind in your package management.

If you have a previous OpenOffice package you have three choice :

  • Remove it from profile so it's uninstalled first
  • Remove it from profile and delete the openoffice.xml file from your server so it is unlisted as a package on the clients (but not uninstalled) by the WPKG zombi feature. (my prefered choice)
  • Or, you can simply continue to use the "openoffice" name for your LibreOffice package.


LibreOffice 3.3.1
