No, they plan to maintain the RPMs for RHEL 7/8/9 and to contribute fixes for Flatpak, which is how they expect people to consume LO (without Red Hat support) in RHEL 10 and perhaps in future Fedora releases.
I for one am a periodic LO user (for both work stuff and personal sheets like tax returns) on Fedora and will switch next week to Flatpak to start reporting bugs. I already use Flatpak for OBS, Ferdium and VSCode, with no issues except that I need to use ssh access to open VSCode projects on localhost (because of some known sandboxing issues).
> support for both, RPM and Flatpak, up again in Fedora
Fedora has a Flatpak repository that is separate from FlatHub. LibreOffice developers post their builds to FlatHub, and those are usable from Fedora without involvement from Fedora developets.
- tlamponi 3y ago> Fedora has a Flatpak repository that is separate from FlatHub. Yeah, it sounded a bit like this, but with all those comments here and LWN I started to get confused myself. And I definitively could have just looked it up so appreciate it all the more that you cleared it up to me, many thanks!
