How long ago was that?
Bear in mind, that one of the major differences between OpenOffice and LibreOffice in the early years was LO paid off a hell of a lot of technical debt, including a *massive* rewrite of the build system.
Which is why LO can now release new versions every few months, and I can build it at regular intervals on gentoo, while OpenOffice last I heard took 14 months to release a bodged fix for a major security problem because nobody could get the build system to build ...
Cheers,
