Ubuntu Linux and AbiSource Relation

At this time, the latest version available directly from Ubuntu is an Ubuntu-modified 2.4.6. We are working to get AbiWord 2.6 in Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" - you can follow the progress here: Launchpad bug for AbiWord 2.6 upload

Installation of AbiSource Packages

Developer Ryan Pavlik maintains Ubuntu packages of AbiWord in his Personal Package Archive. To access them, add the appropriate source below to your repositories (easiest done using Synaptic Package Manager), refresh your packages, then install the "abiword" and optionally "abiword-plugins" and "abiword-plugins-gnome" packges.

  • Dapper (6.06 LTS): (note this package has not been tested by Ryan - please let the AbiWord user mailing list know if it works for you.) 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiryan/ubuntu dapper main
  • Gutsy (7.10): 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiryan/ubuntu gutsy main
  • Hardy (8.04 LTS - currently in beta): 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiryan/ubuntu hardy main
