The reason for the most of the internal libs is that there was major
breakage from them from the gcc5 transition, and this is the package
that was tested as is PPA. Bumping LibreOffice to 5.0.x and changing
those back to system libs (which is untested by end users in PPAs) at
the same time is too high a risk.

LibreOffice 5.0.2.2 should be tagged upstream on ~2015-09-15, once that
tag is there. I will upload a build of that going back to system libs
and plan to get it sponsored again.

Ubuntu has stopped shipping libreoffice-evolution since Ubuntu 12.10, so
no change there.

We are building libreoffice-kde, just as we did with the the current
1:4.4.4~rc3-0ubuntu2 in wily. Note that this upload is a three-way merge
between the Debian package branch (which itself contains multiple
merges), libreoffice PPA builds for 5.0 and previous LibreOffice 4.4
uploads in wily. This is inherently nonlinear, and a .changes file
assuming a linear progression has by definition be unable to fully
represent this. Thus for the first upload of a major series, please see:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git/log/?h
=ubuntu-wily-5.0 Note that once LibreOffice 5.0 is in wily, we will have
an merge-free (relevant and urgent changes from Debian will get cherry-
picked) and linear progression of changes that can and _will_ be
represented properly in the .changes file then.

The libreoffice-l10n source package is not a separately maintained
entity, it is generated entirely from the libreoffice source package
with "./debian/rules update-l10n". All changes to it happen in the
./debian of the libreoffice source package and are tracked in version
control there. It existence is an unfortunate hack needed to work around
limitations of discspace on some of our buildds. This is documented in
./debian/README in libreoffice-l10n (and thus also in ./debian/debian-
l10n/README in the libreoffice source package).

Title:
  [FFE] LibreOffice 5.0.x for wily

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  FFE rationale:
  * A current LibreOffice major version is a important part of every Ubuntu release -- this is a feature goal

  * relevant user visible changes: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0
  * under the hood changes: https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2015-08-05-under-the-hood-5-0.html

  build logs:
  * https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/7847324 (amd64)
  * https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/7847325 (i386)

  The following testing has been done:
  * Tested with users of the libreoffice-prereleases ppa since beta versions
  * Tested with users of the LibreOffice Fresh ppa (ppa:libreoffice/ppa) since 5.0, including backports for 15.04, 14.04 and 12.04
  * Also tested with the user of the LibreOffice 5.0 (ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-0), including backports
  * This upstream release is the base of the Doc Viewer for the Ubuntu Phone
  * The build has been tested to succeed on powerpc and armhf too

  Current 2015-09-03 download stats for the current 5.0.1 libreoffice-core package which was uploaded on 2015-08-28 (so covering 1 week):
  wily: amd64 182, i386 13
  vivid: amd64 6919, i386 1196
  trusty: amd64 21153, i386 7795

  So more than 30.000 installations, not counting those from the
  libreoffice-5-0 ppa.
