openoffice.org 2 on sarge/etch?

Hello

Does anybody know when/if openoffice 2 will be available in the etch repositories? I know it's in unstable now but I'm running stable and I think that it would't be a good idea to upgrade to sid just because of openoffice 2. Is there a stable backport? Or are you guys still using OOo 1.1.x?

It'll trickle down to etch eventually. The "bigger" the things are the slower they seem to do that though.

I am not aware of any backport of OpenOffice.org 2.0 to sarge yet. I'd guess that is also a thing that will come eventually. Backports can be a bit tricky in some cases to perform, and again, the larger the backporting subject is, the more things that need taking care of. And OO.o is quite massive...

I'm running the OpenOffice.org 2.0 from unstable on my testing/unstable installation. Works fine for me at least.

An Ooo2 backport for sarge has just been released.
