Hi all,


For the record, I'm experimenting a new installer for the future 2.0 version of OOo on Mac OSX


As a proof of concept, I have used Terry Teague, Dan William & all installer, placed by Kevin Hendricks on #i32748#.
As example, I have build an en-US version. BTW : this is the installer I use for realize french packaging of 1.1.x.


Of course, it's not the original, because I have made some modifications, like postinstall script for automatic opening of the /opt/openoffice.org1.9.79 directory. I'm actually working to add a new feature : while install, open a window, saying to the user that OOo is installing in this folder (Dominique More's suggesstion ).

-> other(s) suggestion(s) are welcome !



The URL of download of en-US autoinstall-archive is :

<http://ooo.lab-project.net/~ebachard/MacOSX/2.0/m79/m79_en-US/>

The file : <http://ooo.lab-project.net/~ebachard/MacOSX/2.0/m79/m79_en-US/OOo1.9.79_en-US_Panther.pkg.zip>
The md5sum : <http://ooo.lab-project.net/~ebachard/MacOSX/2.0/m79/m79_en-US/OOo1.9.79_en-US_Panther.pkg.md5>



*Please test it*, but remember this version is :

- just a proof of concept : another solution can of course be choosen if this one is not correct
- *not even a beta* : right ?
- not official : the contained build is not Sun, but French OpenOffice.org Community only
- not complete : database don't work, sound neither (for both it's my fault. I promise this will work in the next one, probably the m80)
- for experimented users only : everything you do is under your own responsability, not mine



For uninstall : place /opt/openoffice.org1.9.79 and /library/receipts/OOo1.9.79_en-US_Panther.pkg in the trash
To open /opt folder : do "Apple-shift-G" and enter /opt + return



To do (or missing) :

-insert the correct licenses and howto

Note : This installer is under GPL licence, and I hope it is fully usable it this case. If not, please say why, or say me what must be changed...

- debug it more, and correct a bug in OOo_Admin, because seems not work yet with fondu (to use Apple fonts)
- complete corresponding issues on IZ
- add (partial/complete) uninstall functionnality will be fun, no ?
- fix libxml2 bug (version mismatch sometimes)





Of course, feedback is welcome ( at least for verify it works ! ) , and again, many thanks to Terry, Dan, Kevin and all installer contributors.



Regards, eric bachard
