No Libere office 7?

General system Newbie

I noticed that AUR seems to only have the 6.4.x branch of Libre office, but 7.0 is available through flatpack.
Is there a reason it’s being held back or am I just impatient

Unless there’s something specifically mentioned in the arch developer mailing list, it’s probably that the maintainer or packagers responsible for it haven’t had a chance to get to it. Once they do that, some people will need to test the packages and sign off on it and from there if enough people have done that it’ll be approved for release. Since I don’t see it on the sign off page, I’m guessing it’s gonna be a little while yet till it’s in the repos.

If you are, it’s in my repo.

Edit: it’s in Arch stable now, just grab it as normal.

Thanks, I might just use the Flatpack though.

@jonathon, to use your repo, no need to edit /etc/pacman.conf to add your repository ?
Only need to replace the actual /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist with a new one containing only your server ?

You can pick the packages manually, or use it as a mirror.

Yup, downloaded the zst from the “daily” repos and working without issue.
