I'm not here to argue the pros and cons of autopackage. The fact is autopackage has not convinced an overwhelming majority of Linux users yet, and therefore it would be stupid of OpenOffice.org (which is not in the Linux packaging market and only wants to distribute its stuff as widely as possible) to back autopackage exclusively. If I wanted to give partisan advice like you seem to I wouldn't have mentioned both debs and rpms in the message you replied to. -- Nicolas Mailhot
