Hi all
I have tested Eric Hoch and Maho packages : for me they are equivalent and this
is a good thing ! (Just my packages are different : using Start_OOo +
postinstall script )
I just have seen Eric's and Maho's builds are relocatable, and I'd strongly
suggest *they're not*, at least until we have a complete installer, working
correctly.
Middle Mac User is able to install OOo in strange locations (using 'magic'
folder names ... etc) and this always generates bugs.
Second, what is still missing is an Applescript lauching the application with a
dockable icon. Without this feature, OOo won't be used at all, believe me.
FYI, if no solution is found, I have rewritten another equivalent to the one
from Terry Teague I usually include in my builds, but it's still very buggy and
not complete. Probably Florian's one is more advanced.
Note that the applescript is not sufficient, we need to include icons,
Info.plist files, localized files to make this work the same way.
Last but not least, is to exactly define the command line process, and where/how
put everything, which will automatically build this part in the build (or at
the end, why not).
If you have no clue about how things are organized, OpenOffice.org application
is just a folder containing a tree, with inside everything needed.
-icons
-pre-compiled scripts
-localizations infos
-menus infos
...
To know more, download attached archive, uncompress it, right click and chose
"See package content".
For memory, what I was proposing for the final user is :
download .dmg
double-click on metapkg icon -> start install
[ ... ok for install process, fine for me...]
Note : at the end we use a postinstall script with inside :
open -a /Application/openoffice.org1.9.{version}
-> a window opens this folder, and a dockable icon called OpenOffice.org2
appears
The user has just to dock it to start OOo
