Dear All,
I thought the advantage from using CentOS-Testing repository would be:
- I then have a Selinux module
- Automatic update with yum update. Although that's maybe not a good idea, because I'd have to leave the Testing-repo enabled.
I tried installing from Libreoffice.org before, but got into trouble when logging in with ssh -X and then opening LibreOffice.
Well, if the packages are available in Testing-repo, I vote for this solution too, even if I will check-update manually (with --enablerepo and libreoffice package name). Because there won't be updates too often, and because I'll let testing-repo disabled here by default.
You could restrict the testing repo to only libreoffice, see yum.conf(5) includepkgs=libreoffice or if there are dependencies needed from testing includepkgs=libreoffice dep1 dep2 ...
Those packages do not need to stay in testing repo. All that is necessary is for several people use packages from testing repo and report that they are working without issues to the Centos-devel mailing list in this thread: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2011-September/008159.html , and packages will be moved to Extras repo.
