I'm going to prepare Arch builds for libreoffice in our svn but won't upload any binary packages until the new way gets more clear.

Why not uploading binary packages? Wouldn't be the worst idea to have both packages in the repo, so that users have the choice. Heiko

Anyway go-openoffice is depricated as said in the #go-oo channel topic.

Superseded by libreoffice (or whatever it will finally be called, eg. if they manage to get the OpenOffice brand, so go-openoffice shouldn't go anywhere for the moment. On 29 September 2010 03:27, Heiko Baums wrote:

Everything is very tentative with this AFAICS, so better not rush.

It is still unclear whether the openoffice name will be donated and so the final package name is not known... Allan

Just decided to try this out, from a user's perspective dark GTK themes are no longer useable, libreoffice does not seem to respect the OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP environment variable as used in the AUR package openoffice-dark-gtk-fix. A pity, because everything else I use regularly seems to work spiffily

Scratch that, it does work after all. Didn't realize that I neglected to kill the OOO launcher in the taskbar before testing...

Now that's the best news I heard all week. All of my gtk themes are dark and it would have been a real sore spot if LibreOffice wouldn't respect them. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Well, since your gtk themes are dark I'd assume you do know of the 'fix' I used. I wasn't implying that libreoffice does something so reasonable as actually function properly OOTB with dark themes =). Come to think of it, perhaps I should file a bug report on that....
