Subject: [alpine-devel] open office

Hello,

I have doubts about changing to alpine for my desktop.

What I miss the most is a office suite like open office.
I could make a apk build for myself but I have a very slow machine.
Compilimg whole Gnome costs me around 10 - 12 hours.

Is someone willing to make open office avaible ?

I am slightliy interested in openoffice or libreoffice too, just have
not prioritized it.

I want musl libc fully working first.

I usually consider crazy those doing that, and myself is one of
those. :)
However Alpine is not my only desktop. You won't have a fully-functional
(and bloated) desktop: flash plugin, 3D graphics support, plug&play,
etc.

Iirc someone tried that or checked what was needed: some features
missing in uclibc.

3d graphics actually works, as long as you have open source drivers.
Adobe flash won't work, yes.

Localization is also a weak spot.

I don't think its worth spending time on making it work on uclibc. It
might be worth the effort for musl though.
