Alien repo LibreOffice
by mfoley from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6P4MB)
Before I bug "Alien Bob" directly, I thought I'd ask some of the LQ Slacksters. I used to download LibreOffice from http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slac...ce/pkg64/15.0/. The last version I downloaded was libreoffice-7.6.4-x86_64-2alien.txz in December. When I check that site now, I see a bewildering list of packages. like:
Code:libreoffice-l10n-ro-24.2.4-x86_64-1alien.txz
libreoffice-l10n-ru-24.2.4-x86_64-1alien.txz
libreoffice-l10n-sa_IN-24.2.4-x86_64-1alien.txz
libreoffice-l10n-si-24.2.4-x86_64-1alien.txzI found one -en- package: libreoffice-l10n-en_GB-24.2.4-x86_64-1alien.txz, but this was quite small (2.4M) compared to the last 7.6.4 version I downloaded (190M). Nevertheless, I tried installing it:
Code:# installpkg libreoffice-l10n-en_GB-24.2.4-x86_64-1alien.txz

Does anyone have any insight on this?
