OpenOffice upgrade process?


I currently have OO 2.0.4. I would like to install OO 2.1. What is the proper procedure for upgrading? Automatix2? Synaptic Package Manager? Do I just delete the old and install the new via CLI?

If you used Synaptic (or any other interface for apt), then use that to update your OpenOffice. If you installed it by compiling the source code, or by using some other installation method, it's probably best to remove the old package and then install the new one. But I guess you've either had it from the original installation cd or installed through apt (by using Synaptic, for example), which is basically the same procedure, so just use Synaptic.

Who knows if 2.1 will be backported to Edgy... the other solution is to download the RPM's, alien convert them and then install them using dpkg.
