Maybe this came out wrong. What I meant is: I was told RHEL doesn't do major application upgrades in one version, so we would end op with Firefox 3.6.x in CentOs 6.x in a few years from now. Apparently this is not true. So now I,m wondering if a move to LO within CentOs 6 is imaginable.

CentOS releases what Red Hat releases as sources.
Red Hat released an update from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 10 ... and CentOS built and released the same update.
You can use Libre Office directly from libreoffice.org ... I do.

Yep, rpms LO from libreoffice.org work very well on my CentOS box.

Same here. Download'ed .tgz from libreoffice.org, unpacked and installed the .rpm I wanted (help, languages, core stuff), integrated to the GNOME desktop and works like a charm.

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.
greetings, J.

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.

Hi,
Several people have tested this successfully. You can even get slightly newer packages from here: http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/libreoffice/el6/x86_64/ that Karanbir hasn't yet got around to putting in testing (there's a *-release rpm there, too). I would advise against using libeoffice.org supplied RPMs at this stage as RHEL are also getting ready to release LO 3.4.5 in EL6 that will (hopefully) gracefully upgrade my packages.

Working well for me--if you're the maintainer, then, Thank you. :)

Hi,
I've just updated the RPMs for Libreoffice to match version 3.4.5 (from Fedora 16). If you have my repo[1] installed simply do a: yum --enablerepo=nux-libreoffice-testing update libreoffice*
If you have RPMs from libreoffice.org in use ignore this message as you will run into conflicts!

Thanks for your efforts Nux :-).
If at some point it would be possible for you to support 3.5 that would be great :-). I am currently using the 3.5.1 official RPM's in a home repo (so it's also shared to another CentOS box). But none-the-less it's good to see some progress regarding Libreoffice & CentOS :-).

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?

One interest in using "official" RPMs, from OpenOffice or LibreOffice, is their limited set of dependencies. They don't require gnome, and this makes a big difference on headless, soundless machines.
I am also using a meta-package to ease installation of "official" *Office. It is far from perfect, because it don't work if I just do yum update openoffice, I have to uninstall openoffice* ooobasis* and then install again openoffice (or libreoffice now).
So : me too ;) (I am interested to hear about a better way to install official LibreOffice...)

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 :-).
PS: Sorry for any typo's etc I was tired when I wrote this email, had been awake only a few minutes.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Philippe. I'll try to put all your guys opinions together and see if I can come with anything that could work long term. Right now I'm trying to backport from Fedora, and while the heavylifting is done by Fedora people, it's still not easy to do this. I'll keep you guys updated.

Thanks Jake for the details. Well, what you say about building it yourself is what I'm actually trying to do now, but it is not a piece of cake: http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/libreoffice-testing/el6/i386/ http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/libreoffice-testing/el6/x86_64/ But at least it's done Fedora/Redhat way :-)
I will seriously look into making a proper repo out of the Libreoffice.org rpms.. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks Ljubomir,
The problem occurs only when removing openoffice (like in "yum remove"), or also when updating it ?
If it happens only when removing (and this is normal IMHO), it's already a big progress in comparison with my previous attempts.
Cheers,

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