It may be relevant saving perhaps 100 MB when you compose CD functionality, and you want to offer Libreoffice Writer on it. Besides that, there is always a chance that one can look into the splits more deeply and discover that it can be done differently (better ?) and make libreoffice-common leaner, and offer some more stuff as separate packages or extensions packages. Who knows what FB office boyz could do with it if they really wanted. Anyway, the objective would be to be able to install each of components individually, as needed. jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Yes, but libreoffice-common is essentially the whole thing; libreoffice- base, libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-draw, libreoffice-impress and libreoffice-writer are (relatively) small front ends.

For example, in Archlinux these are separate builds/packages: libreoffice-common libreoffice-base libreoffice-calc libreoffice-draw libreoffice-impress libreoffice-writer libreoffice-sdk libreoffice-sdk-doc libreoffice-extension-nlpsolver libreoffice-extension-pdfimport libreoffice-extension-presentation-minimizer libreoffice-extension-presenter-screen libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-kde4 libreoffice-math libreoffice-postgresql-connector libreoffice-scripting-javascript ... So, there is a lot of functionality thru modularity. For example, in CentOS (clone of RedHat) I can install libreoffice-writer only, which pulls libreoffice-common, and perhaps some extension packages (if so configured). jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Interesting, I didn't think that was possible. Does this come with a _separated_ build for all the components that have such a corresponding package, or is it simply not containing the binaries for the "other" components? For example, you could build a whole OO or LO suite and just have one selected binary installed, but that wouldn't be very precise regarding the question "Writer only"... If it would be possible to have the components as separate ports in FreeBSD it would be helpful for selectively installing stuff, e. g. if only one or two components of the office suite are really needed (or allowed!) to be _built_ and installed. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

It is possible - those Linux lollipops offer such in some distros, prepackaged. I hope that FB's office team finds time to figure it out. It would benefit FB-based OSs to reasonably customize their CDs. jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I'm not aware that this is possible, as LibreOffice (like OpenOffice) is designed as an "integrated package" containing various interconnected parts of office productivity programs. So I assume it's not easy to build _only_ one component. In case you are intending to "just" install a text processing program, try AbiWord. It is the TP designed to be used with Gnome, but builds independently (even though it requires lots of Gtk dependencies). If installed, you will "only" have the text processing program -- no spreadsheet, no database, no presentation graphics. It's a quite versatile program and can even read outdated MICROS~1 memory garbage formats. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
compile/install Libreoffice Writer only
Hi, is there a way to do that right now in ports (config, make options) ? Or would that require separate source packaging per component ? jb ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
