Are you saying that unless one is willing to provide code there is

way too prevalent in open source communities.
I didn't say no point. But repeating the same suggestion over and
over and over and over again, with no code is rather pointless.
Do you want suggestions from anyone other than developers? If so,
change
your attitude.
Personally, I want bug reports more than suggestions right now. But
code that fixes bugs is golden.
Well, install Apache OpenOffice without use / share / destroy old
OpenOffice.org preferences is really easy. More precisely, you have
several place where you'll have to change something :
- scp2/source/ooo/common_brand.scp : contains the "UserInstallation"
key, where the OpenOffice.org - for us the new Apache OpenOffice -
user preferences will be put during bootstrap (at first launch).
ProfileItem gid_Brand_Profileitem_Bootstrap_Userinstall
ProfileID = gid_Brand_Profile_Bootstrap_Ini;
ModuleID = gid_Module_Root_Brand;
Section = "Bootstrap";
Order = 3;
Key = "UserInstallation";
#ifdef WNT
Value = "$SYSUSERCONFIG/%ONEWORDPRODUCTNAME/%
USERDIRPRODUCTVERSION";
#elif defined MACOSX
Value = "$SYSUSERCONFIG/%ONEWORDPRODUCTNAME/%
USERDIRPRODUCTVERSION";
#else
Value = "$SYSUSERCONFIG/.%LCONEWORDPRODUCTNAME/%
USERDIRPRODUCTVERSION";
#endif
End
- instsetoo_native/util/openoffice.lst : where the keys are defined,
depending you build product, or devel or something else. e.g. you can
define the version number for the preferences, e.g like macros like
SYSUSERCONFIG , ONEWORDPRODUCTNAME and USERDIRPRODUCTVERSION
As example, in OOo4Kids, USERDIRPRODUCTVERSION contains 1.0, means
OOo4Kids 1.0, 1.1 ... and the next 1.3 will share the same
preferences (in ~/... /OOo4Kids/1.0/. In the case I change something
who will break the preferences, set USERDIRPRODUCTVERSION to 2.0 is
the safest way to avoid breaking the old prefs, and keep the old
version working
This will work the same way with OpenOffice.org. Other solution could
be to replace ONEWORDAPACHEPRODUCTNAME and to use OpenOffice instead,
or Apache OpenOffice ... whatever different will work imho.
For the curious, another place who worth a try is solenv/bin/modules/
installer/scriptitems.pm (grep for SYSUSERCONFIG). Last,
SYSUSERCONFIG is builtin in sal/rtl/source/bootstrap.cxx
Of course, I can't decide alone, and I need opinions, and any
candidate for this easy hack is welcome :-)
HTH,
Eric
