Libreoffice 6.4.7 for 20.04.x LTS [closed]

Libreoffice recommends 6.4 for production use as the 7.x release is not yet recommended for "business" use. The final release of 6.4 is 6.4.7 that does have a deb package from LibreOffice, but not Ubuntu as of my most recent search today.Libreoffice 6.4.7 deb-x86_64 downloadWhen will there be an Ubuntu production package for 20.04.x LTS of Libreoffice 6.4.7?

For such case you can always use one of the “LibreOffice Packaging” team PPAs:

to get 6.4

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-6-4
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

to get latest 7.0.4 (recommended way, will work with 18.04 LTS too):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Note: to revert the changes use ppa-purge - sudo apt-get install ppa-purge, sudo ppa-purge ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-6-4 or sudo ppa-purge ppa:libreoffice/ppa .
