Hi,
We need to define the exact way we provide an archive, and what this
archive does contain.
As reminder, please note I'm talking about these issues :
*TASKS* -> We have to choose what we exactly do for :
*42998* TASK P3 Powe ericb NEW Mac OS X
installer build of core application
*42999* TASK P3 Powe ericb NEW Localized
files for OOo2.0 MacOSX installer
(don't forget that localized strings are missing in #i42999#. Waiting,
en-US will be used as default)
Done : 43000 TASK P4 Powe ericb NEW Icons
for OOo2.0 Mac OSX installer
At this time, a directly buildable, complete and easy to install
solution (using portable files and a .dmg archive) already exists. But
we have a problem, because some objectives cannot be reached whith this
solution :
- language packs are forgotten (important issue);
- .ttf are omitted : Mac Users complain since ages about this problem,
because they cannot use the native fonts.
So we actually are thinking to a new one :
- .pkg ( a metapackage in fact, with all .pkg in one) + a simple
launcher inside
- include a fondu mechanism inside, to automatically add .ttf fonts
while first install (silently)
Installation process : double click the archive, and user follows
instructions (and reads license too...). At the end (using a postinstall
script), a folder opens, containing :
- the OpenOffice.org tree
- the launcher ( " launcher " means a drag and dropable icon)
The launcher is dockable. OOo can be started with one click on the
docked icon, or from the folder containing the icon.
What is expected here : your vote for one or the other solution, with
(or without) just some essentials arguments
Regards,
eric bachard
P.S. : If you want to test, two different solutions, close of what is
proposed, are available :
- as .dmg :
<http://ooofr.org/telechargement/macosx/2.0/OpenOffice.org-1.9.128_en-US.dmg>
- as .pkg.zip (fondu is actually not inside) :
<http://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/MacOSX/OOo_1.9.128_MacOSX_en-US.pkg.zip>
