Jake,

Sure, 3.5 is on the to do list. I see this trend a lot, to make repos out of official rpms (at least Ljubomir is also doing it). Maybe it's worth doing this on a bigger scale. Care to share what exactly you are doing? Are you using any "meta" packages?

Hi,

The setup is pretty basic (imo) because the repo is used only in a LAN and never used outside of this LAN, I do not worry about generating delta's or stuff like that. I don't even GPG sign them.

The local repo is also used for other self compiled RPM's. These would usually be tagged with a ".hr" tag (ie, <packagename>-<version>.el6.hr.x86_64) for easy removal.

But as far as I am aware to do that, with official RPM's it would require a rebuild.

So what I tend to do is just open up filezilla, ftp to a libreoffice mirror, browse my way to libreoffice stable RPM's, and download them to "/var/www/html/repository/<arch>" (Which is actually just a link to /home/<username>/rpmbuild/RPMS)

Obviously the repository it's self is pre-setup because of the other packages, so as my normal user next up I would just run:

createrepo --update ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/<arch> createrepo --update ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/SRPMS

A quick check for SELinux permission's and it's good to go :-). Now from local machines on the LAN I would just use "yum install libobasis* libreoffice*" etc, then pick and remove the unnecessary extra packages. and "yum update" takes care of updates :-) (after I have redone the above..)

This is something most user could easily do them selves, and it could also be done publicly, however it is still a "messy" method even if somebody else does it for you (and you just enable/add the repo).

I would still prefer to be able to have RPM's built specifically for EL6.

I guess that raises the question of "You have the repo, rpmbuild etc setup, why don't you build them your self?", and to answer it:

Because I do not have the CPU Power :-) (Still got a Single core here....)

But yeah.. that's basically all I do :-).

And that's what I did as well. Check this out: http://www.nux.ro/archive/2012/04/LibreOffice_org_RPMs_in_a_yum_friendly_for... I'll spam this in a separate message on the usual places.

Also, more good news comes from Redhat as RHEL 6.3 will contains Libreoffice 3.4.5!
