><br>> Feature owner(s): Andrea Pescetti <<a href="mailto:pescetti@apache.org">pescetti@apache.org</a>><br>><br>> Add Apache OpenOffice, the free productivity suite, to Fedora.<br><br>A big -1 to this feature, and in fact I'd urge FESCo to veto that package<br>
outright (or if it somehow already made it into Fedora, to get it blocked in<br>Koji and Obsoleted by libreoffice ASAP).<br><br>Rationale:<br>* What benefit does this package have over LibreOffice, to justify carrying<br>
2 packages doing essentially the same thing?<br>* OpenOffice is a huge package and a big strain on our build system (Koji);<br> IMHO, having 2 versions of it would be a gigantic waste of resources.<br>* LibreOffice is clearly the community version to be preferred:<br>
- All major distros support it.<br> - Red Hat people work on it.<br> - AFAIK, it has more features.<br> whereas Apache OpenOffice is the fork Oracle created to remove control<br> over the project from the community, after Oracle had refused for months<br>
to cooperate with the community (and for those months, LibreOffice had<br> been the only version being developed at all). (I consider it a big<br> mistake on the part of Apache to have accepted that trojan horse<br> "donation". They should have pointed Oracle to the existing LibreOffice<br>
project instead. I really don't see why OpenOffice.org had to be donated<br> to Apache when basically all the existing non-Oracle developers were<br> involved in LibreOffice instead and when all that was needed was assigning<br>
the OpenOffice trademark to them.)<br><br>PS: I wonder if there's any connection between this feature and the MariaDB<br> feature (or rather, Oracle's negative response to it).<br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
