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 a 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/abiword-stable/ubuntu dapper main
  • Feisty (7.04): 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiword-stable/ubuntu feisty main
  • Gutsy (7.10): 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiword-stable/ubuntu gutsy main
  • Hardy (8.04 LTS): 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/abiword-stable/ubuntu hardy main
