Red Hat phasing out LibreOffice packages |
 |
For years the Red Hat Display Systems team has maintained LibreOffice suite packages (and their many dependencies) for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and the Fedora distribution. The Display Systems team is shifting its priorities, working more on Wayland and will no longer be building new LibreOffice packages. This has the side effect of orphaning the Fedora builds of LibreOffice. "The Red Hat Display Systems team (the team behind most of Red Hat’s desktop efforts) has maintained the LibreOffice packages in Fedora for years as part of our work to support LibreOffice for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We are adjusting our engineering priorities for RHEL for Workstations and focusing on gaps in Wayland, building out HDR support, building out what’s needed for color-sensitive work, and a host of other refinements required by Workstation users. This is work that will improve the workstation experience for Fedora as well as RHEL users, and which, we hope, will be positively received by the entire Linux community.
The tradeoff is that we are pivoting away from work we had been doing on desktop applications and will cease shipping LibreOffice as part of RHEL starting in a future RHEL version. This also limits our ability to maintain it in future versions of Fedora.
While it will be possible for community members to volunteer to take over the LibreOffice packages for Fedora, Red Hat suspects most users will want to switch over to using the LibreOffice Flatpak package. |
