LibreOffice on Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana Hipster - SFE spec-files-extra
We now have LibreOffice 4 in the spec-files-extra repository. You can build it on your own for Solaris 11 or OpenIndana Hipster. Or you can go to one of the binary IPS package repositories (e.g. http:/sfe.opencsw.org) and just install it.
If you have questions, please drop us a note or come to the IRC channel #pkgbuild on irc.freenode.org
