Hi
I'm not here to argue the pros and cons of
autopackage.
The fact is autopackage has not convinced an
overwhelming majority of
Linux users yet, and therefore it would be stupid of
OpenOffice.org
(which is not in the Linux packaging market and only
wants to distribute
its stuff as widely as possible) to back autopackage
exclusively.
Popularity shouldnt prevent anyone from using
something if it suits them. autopackage is not yet
"famous" because it is just about have a 1.0 release
and will only maintain API/ABI stability from that
point.
btw many popular software like abiword,gimp, inkscape
etc already have autopackaged versions
Regards
Rahul Sundaram
