Hi Wolf,

My opinion would be that for the first step we would to deliver from the
PPA exactly the same results one would get downloading the binary DEB
files and following the manual installation procedure.

Once we actually have that, checked and functioning well, IMO we should
look at what extensions are appropriate - that issue of mime/assoc one,
integration support for Unity, what do about Evolution.. etc. Anyway so
I'd think.

Right - well, Hagar is referring not to the application icons, having
multiple installs (including as it has been for a long time, both the
distro version of OO.o and the vanilla version) - it's the file
association icons. Installing the vanilla packages doesn't update the
system settings for the file association.

That's more a question IMO about how we would want the files in the PPA
to install - as the current vanilla deb packages do, my first vote would
be for this. Though I would be in favor of offering an option to change
the file type (mime type) associations, ala Windows install.

Good!

How? You used command dpkg -i --force-all *.deb


No need. If the Ubuntu package has been removed and you have donwloaded the 
tarball from the LibO site, then just use the same command line, no need of the 
--force-all option.

The only remaining thing however seems to be the icons: I still get the LibO

It is nice to know ooffice is already in production use.
I was thinking that the install script (in the Ubuntu installs) could have
a case structure that checks for existing /usr/bin soft links, for instance:
if soffice exists  # Means openOffice, LibreOffice or StarOffice may be
installed
follow the link to get the app and version
echo to dialog   "You appear to have %Existing_App% installed,
 if you would like to keep %Existing_App% and
install %Current_AOO_Product% beside it,
click %Button_1% [default unattended install behaviour].
If you would like to replace %Existing_App%
with %Current_AOO_Product%
click %Button_2% and if you would like to abort the installation
 and make no changes to your computer, click %Button_3%.
end_if
if ooffice exists # - Means OpenOffice is installed
follow the link to get the app and version
echo to dialog that software  "You appear to have %Existing_App%
installed,
if you would like to keep %Existing_App% and
install %Current_AOO_Product% beside it, click %Button_1%.
If you would like to replace %Existing_App% with %Current_AOO_Product%
click %Button_2% [default action for unattended install] and if you
would
like to abort the installation and make no changes to your computer,
click %Button_3%.
end_if

This would work regardless of which Linux you are installing into.and offer
an option that was never available before.  It would also mean that the
Distribution packagers would not have to change very much to add AOO back
into their software repositories.  We always play well with others. :-)

It would definitely make sense to continue using soffice. And, unless it 
gets political (and I hope it won't), Ubuntu could modify its packaging.


If another name is needed in addition to soffice, then the best option 
would probably be ooffice, which is already in use with, e.g., the Red 
Hat packaging of 3.3. No need to add "a" or "apache" as a prefix: Apache 
Subversion uses "svn", not "asvn"; and the same for Tomcat and other

I share the sentiment.  But soffice, probably a shortcut for star

Maybe it is time for a change?

We should analyze careful what we change or have to change. But right now I am

2. The list of what order to install all these deb packages.


No order is required that I know of - just dpkg -i *.deb works just  
fine

for me - well, I do install the desktop integration pieces after
installing the main application, but even that could I think be  
done in

a single command, I just don't.



Before to enter "dpkg -i *.deb"  I'd suggest to type :

cp desktop-integration/*.deb .  # don't forget the last point ! (else  
no menu entries ;-)


Maybe you'lll have to delog yourself, to cleanup the menu cache, not

Problems can occur in conflict with the libo about the desktop-integration.
To install use:

dpkg -i --force-all *deb

I did an article in pt-br in blog WP (was in Escritório Livre [1]) :

Hi Wolf

That would be excellent, IMO. That said just a reminder, I think this is
a great idea, that doesn't mean everyone else does.

BTW are you familiar with the steps required to open a PPA?

Also, a PPA can be opened by an individual or a team, perhaps it would
best to see if there is anyone else here that would be interested in
working with you on this, IMO, having more then one person, from the
main project, working on this would be a pretty good idea.

Anyway - let us know how we can help you with this.

Without knowing exactlky which file(s) you have downloaded, it is difficult to 
give precise instructions, but the normal procedure is to unpack the large 
download file (circa 140 MB), change to the DEBS directory and there to 
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
then
cd desktop-integration
and once again 
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
This last step sets up the links in the Office menu.

There is none - but you are welcome to create a PPA for same if you
would like.

> 2. The list of what order to install all these deb packages.

No order is required that I know of - just dpkg -i *.deb works just fine
for me - well, I do install the desktop integration pieces after
installing the main application, but even that could I think be done in
a single command, I just don't.

Is there a AOO repo for ubuntu?

2012-05-02 Thread Wolf Halton
I am attempting to install from a sourceforge download and I would like to
have one of 2 things.
1. a repo to set in my sources.list for Ubuntu 12.04
2. The list of what order to install all these deb packages.
