I have 3.3.0 installed in Ubuntu 10.04 (direct from LO rather than from the ppa as I need integration with TBird address book). Is there no other way to upgrade to 3.3.1 other than to download the whole shooting match AGAIN?


I use Debian testing, and IIRC when I do an aptitude dist-upgrade the LibO libraries are downloaded, the old ones removed, and the new one's installed. I think that this is how all updates work, isn't it? If so, then I for one don't understand your question or expectation: of course you have to download the libraries ... how else would you get them?

If you are actually referring to /installing/ them, then that is a different question, in which case your concern is about "Is there no other way to upgrade to 3.3.1 other than to [manually install] the whole shooting match AGAIN? " .

Is there a specific library that you can manually load from the *.tar file from the LibO site while allowing aptitude (or whatever Ubuntu uses) to manage your main package installation?

If not, and if the Ubuntu maintainers don't engineer some kind of interoperability (which clearly exists if the LibO site version works with TB) then the short answer is "yes".

I'm a bit confused by your response.
Of course if I enable the Ubuntu ppa repository then I will get updates (relatively small downloads) to LO rather than having to download and install the whole new package (148 MB). Unfortunately the version of LO (as with OO) provided from the Ubuntu ppa does NOT allow the use of the Thunderbird address book as an address data source - it ONLY integrates with Evolution, hence the reason I use the directly-downloaded package from the LO web site and NOT the Ubuntu repository. I'm trying to ascertain whether there's a method of updating from 3.3.0 to 3.3.1 direct from the LO website, rather than having to download the entire new package?
