Hello.

I know, archlinux is really quick to package software, so I was
wondering when LibreOffice 3.6 will be proposed, at least on testing ?

I grabbed PKGBUILD from abs, and tweaked .36 version to build both
translations (done first) and then core package (currently working on
LibO Writer after something like 4 hours on my AMD Athlon X2-215,
which is now something like 2 years old).

Thanks for any infos.

Have a good week-end.

Usually it's released when it's ready ( it's only two days ago, since it
has been released....)

3.6.0 won't go into our repos. It's only for early adopters and not
ready for production use. Maybe I'll package 3.6.1 for testing repo
once it's out.

Spellcheck is currently broken in 3.6.0 afiak, so probably best to wait
until the point release.

Well, if you don't wipe previous configuration, it could be broken.
And as there is PKGBUILD.36 files, will try by myself. Good to learn
some more things on build process

Get it build, wiped my previous profile, and spellcheck seems to work.
Now waiting for 3.6.1

Until then, I will play with my homemade version

Yeah, it does work. I had a read a few posts earlier saying that spellcheck
was "broken" in libreoffice 3.6, but it turns out it was all hyperbole,
they were just referring to this bug which is certainly not totally broken
spellcheck: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53006

Please don't top-post.

I've updated the PKGBUILD.36 files for libreoffice and libreoffice-i18n
in svn trunk.

Every user should now be able to build the new version.
