Gents:

Running Ubuntu 12.04 on a XEON 1240:

Will the follow command-set replace (download, install/remove and configure) my current Apache OO_4.0.1 with the new Apache OO_4.1?

**
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/office
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openoffice

**

I am serious. If you want to remain at the cutting edge then you need to do a little work yourself rather than expecting others to do it for you. It's not Rocket Science ( or even Electromagnetic Theory).

If you're not up to that then be content to remain part of the herd and take what is on offer.

After contacting the APACHE_OO forum a moderator snarked back at me:

'if you want a PPA for A_OO_4.1, then BUILD a PPA for A_OO' ..... to which witchy snark no decent response is possible.

Gott-in-Himmel do we ever have a case of THE KING WEARS NO CLOTHES!

You make silly comments, and counterfactual comments given the existence of popular Open-Source software, its pleading for attention and distros mutual competition.

Most (me included) would NEVER have got into Linux software whatsoever had integrative tasks not been performed for me. The breakthru was REdHat-6 ... everything just worked automagically; UBUNTU_6.06 followed promptly with the same automagic function.
That's a standard of **current best practice** and those developers not aspiring to that function are Neanderthalic neckbeards.

If Apache Foundation does not aspire to provide that **best practice** level of software integration ... continue to shill TARBALLZ and remain a 0.5% curiosity like a shrunken-pigmy-head ... then they should demonstrate good-faith and stay out-of-the-usrland game entirely.

THW users have enabled several software upgrades on my computer systems ... I simply could not have done it alone and I am grateful. If you are implying a slippery-slope RETROGRESSION in broad community support for open software users I will not argue that point.

Clearly you should ask for your money back.

I wait on Apache_OO to show its worth. Indeed I have paid Canonical, not Apache for years of superior service .... just as in-the-day I paid M$ shareware coders for WinZip, ZoneAlarm etcetc ...

I (morally) owe Apache nothing, for they have yet-to- demonstrate a worthy, robust product. Paying $$$ for value-delivered is virtuous; bait-and-switch open_source pander deserves trashing ... Apache web-site implies common access to a utility only the lucky few may practically obtain. If they wanted to show good faith their website could sport a large flashing-red icon sporting the words:

NOT l337, retreat!

Oh yeah ... betcha $1.00 a PPA for A_OO-4.1 will show up before U_14.04LTS UPGRADE appears in our sys-manager.

And you suppose that Apache owes you something?

Be a freeloader by all means - just don't make demands upon those you leech from. End of.

What's this? Another UBUNTU_PPA bites-the-dust !? Only a conspiracy-minded tinfoil-hat type would believe this has ANYTHING (hehehe) to do with the lack of an Apache_OO PPA ... eh hosers? Just because it walks, talks and socks like a 1930S Chicago gang-war over booze-distribution territory doesn't mean it's all not accidental ... ooops pardon my concrete foot or is that systemd just hanging on? ...
