Hi :)  
There's not much advantage and maybe even some disadvantage.  

I think most of the advantage is in the desktop integration files in the relevant folder once you 
unpack the download.  There is one folder for KDE and another for Gnome.  The Gnome one covers Xfce 
and a couple of others.  The main thing thay do is just make it a bit prettier and pick-up on 
whatever theming you have.  

LO doesn't really do anything as small as an undate,  They are all upgrades but they should be able 
to find and use your old User Profile.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] What happened to the Libreoffice PPA?

Yes, I've installed LibreOffice that way many times, but it results in a
parallel installation into /opt, rather than an upgrade of the existing
version. Also, I am supposing that there is some advantage to whatever
they do to tweak it for  (k)ubuntu.

It's probably best to download and install the official version from the official website rather 
then one tweaked for Ubuntu

Ppas are often a little out of date. They tend to depend on only one or 2 people and those 
people may have other work commitements or other things going on in their lives.  Often they are 
very keen and committed to their Ppa but even so it's probably better to get the upstream one 
from the LO page.

The LibreOffice ppa for Linux hasn't been updated since version 3.6.0.
Has it been discontinued?
