My organization had StarOffice on our Solaris workstations for many years, =
then upgraded to OpenOffice 3.3, and now we'd like to upgrade to AOO 3.4, b=
ut our administrators are leery of installing "non official" builds.

Has Apache dropped support for Solaris? My googling has not turned up any o=
fficial announcement of this. Can we hope to see Solaris make a reappearanc=
e at http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html?

According to http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=
=3D6&t=3D53698#p234768, as of four months ago there were only two "major" b=
ugs in the Solaris build, and one of them has been fixed. So it sounds like=
 the current Solaris build is of good quality. Why wouldn't Apache adopt it=
 as an officially-supported platform?

I think we Solaris users deserve to know the "roadmap" for where AOO is hea=
ding.

Thanks


OpenOffice 3.3 on Solaris

AFAIK, at the moment there are some technical problems... like the lack of =
