How about LibreOffice 7.5 in Tumbleweed?

Nine days ago I found this on Reddit:

| Does anyone know what is holding Libreoffice 7.5 back?
| Archlinux and flatpak got it 3 weeks ago.

The question is valid in my opinion …
Does anyone know anything about this?

It is available on the repositories list. You beed the specific ‘Libreoffice’ repo. You can also download the rpms from libreoffice’s web site. If you fell adventurous you can try 7.5.1(rc0 version from there.

Such as … ? If you know it, just paste a link here.

I don’t think it’s too difficult to find the opensuse repos or the Libreoffice website!

Before answering: look into it!
I had done that, the result: I asked here.
Thank you for this “help” … grmpf …
And this reply is not for hui only.

btw: I asked for Tumbleweed, possible download from LO website was not asked.

Did you actually try to find LIbreOffice 7.5 packages there?

It is hard to find something that does not exist. And it was not a question of “where to download 7.5”, but “where to get 7.5 packages for Tumbleweed”.

@hansi That’s really something you need to ask the maintainers, if you look at the development repo at the top right you can see ‘derived’ packages link, if you look there if you see a ‘branched’ (not a link to someones home repo) package that means someone is working on it . I see Show home:dspinella:branches:LibreOffice:7.5 / libreoffice - openSUSE Build Service so it’s being worked on, ETA, again when it’s ready and tested…

I confess that I did not. There is a 7.5 section which for some reason contains 7.4.4! So I stand corrected.

I asked myself the same. Dominique a.k.a. DimStar (Dim*) – A passionate openSUSE user is the blog of the release manager of tumbleweed, which is often insightful. But in this case Search Results for “libreoffice” – Dominique a.k.a. DimStar (Dim*) I don’t find information in the first few mentions of libreoffice about what holds 7.5 back. Only some issues with 7.4 are mentioned. And as far as I see 7.5 builds on all the platforms for tumbleweed (except where it’s excluded (s390, seen here Show LibreOffice:7.5 - openSUSE Build Service). 7.4 builds on all those platforms, 7,5 not (at the time when I am writing this). Perhaps that’s the reason?
