• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-11-28 06:59:54 UTC]

Hi,

there has been released a kde version of openoffice 1.1.3. It also contains some fixes. Shouldnt be that hard to get an ebuild for it.

Announcement: http://dot.kde.org/1101482981/

I just installed the pkg manually, it is really cool :)

[Comment 2 Jan Kundrát (RETIRED) 2004-11-30 06:10:56 UTC]

doesn't app-office/openoffice-ximian emerged with USE="kde" work for you?

[Comment 3 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-11-30 07:45:23 UTC]

Yes, of course, but I prefer to use binaries and I think the kde version is something different.

[Comment 4 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-12-23 08:21:33 UTC]

Not going to introduce an new -bin version of OOo in portage, maybe later, but as this should resolve all with OOo 2.0, I honestly don't think so. For getting it now, please see the comment about openoffice-ximian

[Comment 5 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-12-23 08:32:33 UTC]

Can you please update the openoffice-ximian-bin ebuild then?

[Comment 6 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-12-27 08:17:35 UTC]

@ Stefan: That's a little bit of a problem atm, cause we are until now using the binaries from Ximian, and up until now, there was no newer version. If you find one, please provide the link

[Comment 7 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-12-27 08:24:50 UTC]

That was originally the intention of this bug .. can we please add it as a version bump for the openoffice-ximian-bin ebuild? The link to the binary pkg from the provided URL:
http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=packages/ooffice/OOo_1.1.3-kde_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
(I think there is something like mirror://kde for the ebuild)

In fact I dont know the difference between ximian and kde build .. so I think it is appropriate to have it as version bump.

[Comment 8 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-12-27 08:29:46 UTC]

@ Stefan: No it is not, the current openoffice-ximian-bin version is mostly about gnome integration, your link is ONLY about kde integration, so this is no sufficient upgrade path. The best solution would be to use the OOo from the Novell Linux Desktop which has both types of integration, just haven't been able to track this down until now...

[Comment 9 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) 2004-12-27 08:41:39 UTC]

"It also features a lot of other improvements over the stock OOo (including the GNOME integration bits; but do not be afraid, it does not link against Gtk+ in KDE, and vice versa), because it is built from the ooo-build codebase. "


Strange, why do you tell me its *only* kde integration? Where do you know that from? What they say here suggests to me that it runs on both kde and gnome very good and only depends on one of both's libs.

[Comment 10 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2004-12-27 08:52:06 UTC]

Sorry, didn't take a closer look, as I just knew the older versions which were kde-specific and the name also implies the kde-only-thing. Will take a look and see if it is a feasible upgrade path, thanks for pointing that out.

There is now a newer version of openoffice-ximian-bin in portage which has integration for both kde and gnome, so closing this
