Can't update libreoffice latest realease

[irfs]

Hello, everybody.

Thanks for visiting this page and i hope you don't mind to help me.

I have a basic question since I have been running my computer LMDE. Yesterday I used to have Ubuntu and it was very easy to use. When I wanted to update my software, I just needed to add repository, for example, in terminal "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa" for updating Libreoffice 3.5.1 to 3.6.1. My question is "how to update my Libreoffice in my new LMDE?"

Thank you

There's no such thing as PPAs in Debian, but the LibreOffice guys have a Howto here: http://www.libre-software.net/how-to-in ... linux-mint (it's titled Ubuntu / Mint but will work for LMDE, too)

Or you can get it from Debian's experimental repository ;]

I read viewtopic.php?f=190&t=128503 and I'm still not clear why LibreOffice is at version 3.5. in LMDE, when that version is outdated and not supported by LibreOffice. Stable version now is 3.6.x. and 3.5 support is discontinued
I can see that LO is at 3.5 at http://packages.debian.org/testing/ and there is no LO at http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=Debian. Since LO is maybe the most important user app for a general user, it'd be nice to make it updated in LMDE, so that it uses latest stable release from the oldest branch (it'd be 3.6.x now).

and I'm still not clear why LibreOffice is at version 3.5

because that is the version in debian testing at the moment and with the freeze we don't see many new features added.

As told above, FWIW on my Debian Wheezy I currently have LO 4.x running fine by using official Debian "experimental" repos. When Wheezy is released, new(er) LO versions will come easier.
