RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan 2020-01-31 13:08:17 UTC
Description of problem:
I can see that libreoffice is in the appstream repository, but the version provided is very old. In RHEL 8.1, the version is 6.0.6, but the not so latest version is already at 6.3.4. Hopefully there will be a module for libreoffice 6.3, 6.4 and all future release.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.0.6

How reproducible:
always



Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum module list - no libreoffice module available
2. yum list |grep ^libreoffice - only version 6.0.6 is available
3.

Actual results:
no recent version of libreoffice provided


Expected results:
yum modules have libreoffice modules for 6.3, 6.4, etc that customer can choose which version to install


Additional info:

Comment 1 Tomas Popela 2020-02-03 10:39:30 UTC
We plan to rebase LibreOffice for RHEL 8.3. The version that we will rebase to is to be determined, but definitely 6.3+.

No, there will be only one release. We don't plan to create multiple modules with various LibreOffice versions.

Comment 3 Stephan Bergmann 2020-02-18 08:05:15 UTC
Checking against Fedora f31 libreoffice 6.3.4 requirements, to get an idea what dependencies would need to be updated/dragged into RHEL:

* BuildRequires-only mdds-devel updated to 1.4 (itself doesn't appear to have additional requirements)
* liborcus updated to 0.14 (its dependency on libixion is already patched out for RHEL)
* new libnumbertext (itself dones't appear to have additional requirements)
* mariadb-connector-c, which RHEL already has
* firebird, which appears to have been dropped from RHEL 8; configure --disable-firebird-sdbc?

Comment 4 Caolan McNamara 2020-03-13 08:22:06 UTC
seem to need to update libcmis to >= 0.5.2 as well

Comment 8 Bill Sanford 2020-03-30 16:41:50 UTC
While testing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1815400 LibreOffice is now installed on RHEL 8.

I believe this bz will need more extensive testing including printing and basically whole plan execution. Moving back to ON_QA.

Comment 10 Bill Sanford 2020-05-29 19:18:07 UTC
I did the initial testing here: https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/381674/

I also did some undocumented print to file tests since I have no access to office and it performed like it should. 

I hope to test more when access to the office is available.

I Verified with libreoffice-core-6.3.6.2-1.el8.x86_64

Comment 11 Iiro Laiho 2020-08-13 19:04:51 UTC
Will the rebase include all libreoffice-* packages? The voikko Finnish spell check plugin is currently completely inoperable, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1862385

libreoffice-voikko is a different toplevel package called "libreoffice-voikko" not a subrpm "voikko" of the libreoffice package so this rebase leaves libreoffice-voikko untouched
