Apache OpenOffice - Ports and distributions

Apache OpenOffice (AOO) is a productivity suite which is already available for the following platforms:

What is a port?

When making AOO available for another operating system or CPU architecture, then this is called "porting or a port". Usually this is done on the source code level and is available for free. More general information here.

What is a distribution?

When taking an already available AOO installation and package it in a different way to make it ready to run directly, e.g., from a USB stick resp. CD/DVD or on another Linux OS, then this is called "distribution or distro". This can be available for free but also for a charge fee is possible. More general information here.


The following list of 3rd party ports and distributions is made available as a service to the community. The Apache OpenOffice project does not officially endorse or maintain these packages. If you have a port or distribution that you want to be listed here please send the details to our public mailing list.

Create a new port

There is a certain demand for doing a port. At the moment there are no efforts visible for such a port. Create one!
