Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice
Before the split, there were loads of patches that had been created outside of OpenOffice that were not accepted into the main source, many advances that likewise were not taken in because they didn't find a champion to take in. A large number of these were reviewed and incorporated almost straight away after the split. Almost all the active coders moved from OpenOffice to LibreOffice during the split. Apache are good caretakers of fully formed projects but are not good for innovation. There are a lot of projects out there that have moved out of Apache for a v2 release because it is very hard to make major changes to the code, they protect it so highly. LibreOffice works quicker, uses less memory, is more modular, has had more man hours of code review and is much more compatible with other office applications, however they have removed some things that used to be supported because they weren't being maintained. sxc, sdt, sxw, etc formats (from OpenOffice 2 era) are no longer able to be opened or written, so if you have files in that format you need to convert them before upgrading.

Apache OpenOffice in version 3 is available for Openindiana and is working, it was made by Adfinis http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-x86 and I had info that Lenovo maintained LibreOffice for Openindiana before. Apache OpenOffice had some facelifting moves in version 4 that looks nice and also OpenOffice is well recognized in business use , for historical reasons and for reasons of stability. Because of development business model, I always suggest to business to install and use OpenOffice for now, because of slower release pace, there could have less unexpecting bugs that could affect product public image and I expect less problems in general with OpenOffice prcisely because the way it is delivered. For private use, where brand new features are of need and no business would suffer form using it and where wider audience testing is prefered, I tell people to install LibreOffice. It would be the best that LibreOffice serves as test bed, before features come to OpenOffice for business use but I guess they diverged too much. So we need both Libre Office and Apache Open office so the question is not one or another at all. Question is who is prepared to devote it's man-hours and help with testing one or another and building them and contributiong to Openindiana in general and in what area of contribution? I prefer openOffice, because version 3.4 still works for me fine, and version 4 is here in Hipster, but 'just' needs figuring out problem with saving ODF files. Also I have at least ONE crucial OpenOffice add-on (latin/cyrlic transliteration) that I need that works well on OpenOffice, but does not work on Libre Office, so mu choosing is already done by that. Besides, development model of putting out finished and tested releases in Solaris-descendent distro is more in the line with ApacheOpenOffce type of development. (those that could be supported) Openindiana and other illumos distros are more for server use, but still, since we (I suppose also other audience on Openindiana mailing list) want also Desktop distribution(s), there is surely space for LibreOffice. LibreOffice, despite all it's developers and crowd there have not produce Solaris/illumos desktop version of LibreOffice yet nor mentions Opensolaris-descendent platforms on it's site. I don't like what I hear that libreOffice removed all Solaris-related parts from LibreOffice, but if Libre Office accepts changes to upstream, needed for it to run on Openindiana and other illumos distros, it could be fine. ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Hi Gabriele, could you please move your (XStreamOS) mailing list(s) away from the sourceforge? Since sourceforge does not allow/make available mailing list archives, (some stupidity with not creating public/non hidden mailing list archives available and only unhidden mails archives available to only mailing list admins) So sourceforge mailing lists are basically useless for new people wanting to download mailing list history, subscribe to it, concatenate and transfer mailing list history in a mail client and continue receiving messages on it. Also sourceforge have that pretty not so well (at least for me ugly) Web GUI for mailing lists, - I prefer plain simple mailman one. So 2 points in minus to sourceforge mailing list. Maybe this is the right time before your release something, after that more people may come there and troubles with sourceforge mailing lists might alienate some people (like me). I am not subscribing to it untill i can get previous mailing list archives. I guess that sourceforge solution with it's shortcomings is for very small projects with few or any messages and not as a long term solution and desktop distribution seems like does not want to be a small one and deserves at least standard mailing list infrastructure for a start and independent (mailman) ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

OK this particular binary may not work on a different platform but in principle one could compile it. Of course, one should use gcc and other GNU tools. On the other hand, Apache OpenOffice seems to compile more easily on OI, but I haven't tried anything. Using wine is possible to run the windows version in Openindiana, but it is not very stable.

I am on the Apache Openoffice mailing list, and I can say that there are plans for Solaris. IMHO, and FWIW, the Apache group seems to be (or at least act like) a very large organization.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice
I wish I had an OI server to test/compile on, but I only have a laptop (with limited space) ... we use Solaris 10 on our servers and that's just not the same. I noticed that they appear to have significantly reduced the number of tar source files to download with 3.5.0, so I might be able to get my head around compiling it this time. after deleting all my snapshots, I have 12Gb available on disk. I might give it a go.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice
last time I had a look (v3.4.4.2), it still required Solaris Studio to compile. that said, I had to change the configure script to bypass a wonky check for GNU ld that failed no matter what, add the internal version of Solaris Studio to its acceptable compiler list (5.10, I believe), but then the spot I got stuck was when it was trying to build its own dmake despite there already being one present with sstudio.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice
trying LO 3.5.0.1 ... well it needs zip3.0 (2008) for a start, we ship 2.32 (2006) ... and I couldn't get it to compile with SunStudio (not that I tried overly hard) ... after that it needed JUnit (which I got from pkg) and I had to modify their borked configure file to change grep -q to $GREP -q ... It appears to now be downloading Mb's of files including openssl, cairo and seamonkey ... looks like very specific versions of those sources ... maybe it's as picky as Illumos ;P already used 3Gb ... we'll see how well it does before time-slider starts shouting at me.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice
Just posting in case I forget to later ... It's not finished yet (by any means ... currently running on single core, so I can spot errors, T7250 @ 2.00GHz so not the best piece of hardware ever.) modified configure.in to change grep -q to $GREP -q added 2.10 to the sunstudio minors ... else if ($2 == 8) print true; else if ($2 == 9) print true; else if ($2 == 10) print true; ... modify solenv/inc/unitools.mk and change the relevant GMAKE=/usr/sfw/bin/gmake, rather than GMAKE=/usr/sfw/bin/make run ./autogen.sh CC=cc CXX=CC MAKE=gmake COM=sunpro there are still issues with xargs, it wants to run xargs -0, and I have /usr/bin before /usr/gnu/bin in my path ... I'm ignoring the xargs warnings so far, but I might have to play with my path.
