upgrade from unoconv 0.3-6 - ubuntu 10.10

[petergledhill]

This is more of a sysadmin question I suppose, but I'm quite stuck and would appreciate your help.

I've installed 'apt-get install unoconv'. When I do a 'apt-show-versions unoconv' I get 'unoconv/maverick uptodate 0.3-6' which I believe to be an old version of unoconv.

I've guessing it's doing this either because I don't have upto date repositories or there's some dependencies which can't be installed on ubuntu 10.10 (perhaps libreoffice?).

I understand that unconv is just a python script and I could install it manually but I'm afraid this is a bit beyond my current technical knowledge.

So, could you explain how best to upgrade? Either through a repo or a manual install.

Many Thanks

The best way is to get a distribution package (in your case for Ubuntu 10.10). The second best way is to make your own distribution package. The last option is to simply download the unoconv python script and use that. Since it's only a single file and since it does not need any 'installation' instructions that's probably the easiest.

Anyway, if the README was not clear on this, please provide me with the necessary changes so the next user with the same question is not directed to this issue-tracker ;-) Thanks !
