[O] bug#16734: Default value org-odt-data-dir (in Emacs) makes no sense
Hi Glenn, Glenn Morris r...@gnu.org writes: Package: emacs,org-mode Version: 24.3.50 This refers to the version of Org mode in Emacs trunk. ./src/emacs -Q -l ox-odt C-h v org-odt-data-dir - Its value is /usr/share/emacs/etc/org This value is hard-coded (and autoloaded; why?) in org-version.el. This value makes no sense. For Emacs, it should be something based on data-directory. Yes. This was pointed out before in some moderately lengthy discussion: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-10/msg2.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-10/msg00070.html For now we will keep `org-odt-data-dir' in org-version.el that comes with Org separate distributions (git, tar.gz and zip archives.) (In general, the setting of directory-related variables in ox-odt seems rather over-engineered.) Indeed, we need to revisit this. -- Bastien

See these posts. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/81330 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/81364 If Org is run from Vanilla Emacs then setting then setting that to `org-odt-data-dir' to nil should work (I think). The primary consumer of `org-odt-data-dir' is a package distributor who distributes a STANDALONE org. He can set this variable to the location in the file system where he has dumped the styles file.
