* Welcome to LibreOffice * Welcome to LibreOffice. This package is just a shim that sits around, and makes it easy to work with the bulk of the code. This is downloaded from a source archive, or git (if configured with --with-git) by the download.sh shell script. You will need around 6Gb of spare disk space to build, install and have space to have a copy or two. The latest version of this code can be obtained by anonymous Git with this command: $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/build To update the git repositories to the latest versions run: $ git pull -r ; bin/g pull -r Packaged releases can be found from: http://libreoffice.org/download/ More documentation is in the wiki: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LibreOffice/HowToBuild Finally, you can subscribe to the development mailing list at http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice and please share your pain and frustration with build issues on IRC at irc.freenode.net in #libreoffice. Happy hacking.
