I was following the OOo 2's locale and language packs
discussion,
however I may lack some background here... And hence I have some questions:
1.- Are the Fedora folks involved in any way on OOo 2 development?
Caolan and I work on OOo for Red Hat. We both have a fairly long
history with the OOo project, Caolan longer than I. We've both
contributed code to the project.
2.- Is there a test build for Fedora or something? Or the only way to
get OOo 2 Beta is from the project's official site only?
Test RPMs are in Rawhide.
2bis.- In the event you get the packages from openoffice.org's
site,
will installing them remove/overwrite OOo 1.1.3?
They should not.
3.- Once OOo 2 is released, most probably Core 4 will include it, but
will be also made available for previous versions of Fedora by means of
the Extras repository? (this would actually be cool!)
Most likely not, since the build process uses a lot of the gcj/gij
stuff, which only got up to speed with GCC 4.0, which will not be
released for FC3.
