Hi Pavel,

This means it can be committed to CVS -> there is no way it can be the default installer for OOo on MacOS X.
Yes Pavel, you're right : LGPL license strikes again...
I think it is important to do an inventory of what is needed, what we can do and what we cannot, with the installer I propose.
Let me begin to analyse :
- actual packaging -means the one you produce, mine is other thing- gives ".pkg" *it is* OOo, and can be Sun produced even if actually automated build isn't IMHO possible yet (I'm actually building m80 with a lot of breaks ).
Important : to be honest, the Mac Users won't use such packages. You can believe me :-)
Mac Users just want to click and drag'N drop. If not, they simply won't use your software. That's all. It's not what we want...right ?
Now, what is "external" :
- external stuff : XCode (Apple software, including packagemaker), CocoaDialog (I have the sources,and this part is under GPL. Author is Mark A. Stratman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> , StartOOo made by Terry Teague (*please confirm* ) and includes Sun parts.
Only spadmin is not necessary, and can be bumped. Of course, it can be packaged after (with fondu, for example ;-) )
- these files have to be modified (useless functionnalities have to be cleaned up), pathes are different, some tests are to do too...
- manual packaging is needed : one per locale. This includes : create a directory containing 2 directories (Install_resources and Packages) + pre/post install scripts and some fully customizable things. And build
That's all
IMHO, the packaging is completely a third part piece. Nothing of the content is modified by the installer I proposed. Just the package changes. *It's essential*.
So, important thing to understand is what we want to do : where Sun's work stop, and for example where project's work begin.
Last but not least. If no compromised is found, is it correct to package OOo with what I proposed above, *without* break LGPL ? If so I don't see a problem...)
Can someone confirm, please ?
Regards, eric bachard
