[need-update] abiword to latest stable version 2.6.6 in Ubuntu 9.04

+1. The compatibility with OOXML files in the latest version makes the version in the repos severely outdated.

Thank you for submitting this bug. I am confirming this as wishlist to be added to jaunty.

Hello,

I packaged this new release. The test build is available on my ppa : https://launchpad.net/~jerome-guelfucci/+archive/ppa

I'll attach the tarball, the .dsc and the diff.gz here.

All seems to work here.

Here is an improved version version of the package which fixes some long standing problem with the documentation which was not installed in the correct place and which ships a trivial patch from upstream svn to fix bug #319067. If uploaded, this fixes at least 10 bugs opened on Launchpad.

thank you for the work on the update, it seems good to be uploaded, do you know if debian plans to do the update soon in which case we could make sure to use the same orig.tar.gz for the upload?

This bug was fixed in the package abiword - 2.6.6-0ubuntu1
