SLE repo replacement 15.6->16

English Install/Boot/Login

In the topic Get needed list of Leap 16 repos - #2 by hui, I have noted two sentences:

No update, backports or SLE repos do exist for Leap 16.
When a repo which existed for leap 15.6 does not exist for Leap 16 (and never will), simply delete it.
So my question: where do I find the latest versions of libreoffice provided by the SLE repo ?

PS : I’m more interested by the how do I find the answer to my question than the answer itself.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

The repositories just got simplified, by merging the update repos into the “main” repos. Which means the list is:

repo-oss
repo-non-oss
repo-openh264
repo-oss-debug
repo-oss-source
repo-non-oss-debug

Which means, libreoffice lives in the repo-oss repository (and all updates)

Thank you rrahl0.

My problem is solved for now.

I suspect another problem with libreoffice versions in SLE repo (15.6) being more recent than those in repo-oss (16). In this case I’ll create a new topic.

Thanks again.

A similar question asked in this topic where Malcolm provided a rationale for Leap 16.0 remaining on LibreOffice 25.2.5.2.

However, given that Leap 15.6 is receiving a newer LibreOffice 25.8.x through its SLE update repository, I think the specific version discrepancy you’re raising is worth reporting as a bug so the maintainers can clarify whether this is intentional.

FYI (about LO)

I realise how important this is to some of our users.
To that end, in the next few weeks I’ll refactor the LibreOffice spec file,
which will make this effort much easier.

We have much to do to maintain LibreOffice on Tumbleweed, Leap and SUSE
Linux Enterprise.
A good chunk of that work, however, has to do with how the spec file is
written/organised.
After the changes I have in mind, maintaining multiple versions should be
relatively straightforward.
