On http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ there is only RPM version - when great majority of Desktop Linux users are using systems based on APT...

ppa:libreoffice/ppa seems to be very outdated with version 3.5

It's frustating to see several fixes on Windows version and Ubuntu versions so outdated...

People generally reply as:

  • we don't update due to security/stability reasons, etc example 1 example 2

  • why don't you compile yourself ?

For those easy answers, I generally reply:

  • let me decide which version to use at my own risk. I just want to try a newer version and I trust on LibreOffice devs. I understand that update a core lib is very dangerous but Libreoffice is an user application and it don't just break the whole system.

  • Why don't I compile ? Because I am a regular user and don't have time to learn it. I would love to have this time but unfortunately, I don't have.

  • Red Hat/Fedora guys have the same concerns but they update their LibreOffices...
