Hi Bartosz, You can use yaourt -G libbreoffice or yaourt -G openoffce, it will download libreoffce and openoffice source PKGBUILDs. Then you can fix these two packages and ask for maintainer's or co-maintainer's rights in your AUR dashboard. Take a look on "Submit Request" on the right side. When you granted those rights, you can submit fixed packages and maintain them. Best, Yarema

I was asking Organization Apache Open Office that can I be official maintainer Apache Open Office for Archlinux and get answer from Pedro (pedro.lino@mailbox.org) that can I maintainer, he answer me don't see any problem. I'm Linux experience user, a bit of a programmer, administrator, security administrator in company for last 20 years. But start my road with linux was about 1995r. Program Open Office/Apache Open Office I was using/repair a simple bug/sending ticket to bugzilla from about 15 years. In my company Libre Office had too many bugs, too often broken own files xls and he was too much unstable. Too many time we must spend for repair LO. We must change it for something much stable like Apache Open Office. I think so that can help us example fix it this problem if we wont my help.

Becking to problem. When I was fixit build file get next error:

yaour -S openoffice

But in "/opt/openoffice4/program/python-core-2.7.6/lib" not "opt/openoffice4/program/python-core-2.7.6/lib" i see files. Ok next correct patch in build file (add "/") and get next error:

interesting... I was execute yaourt like user not as root.

I was wrote email for forum@archlinux.org and dev@archlinux.org but get message that is it wrong places for this problem. Maybe this time send email to correct places.
