It is impossible to solve this issue with only one ebuild file because OpenOffice.org doesn't support "locale". I think the best solution to the localized openoffice-bin problem is to make a localized openoffice-bin ebuild for each language. This issue seems to be not active. Please discuss this issue immediately, Gentoo OpenOffice Team. Created attachment 27914 [details]
openoffice-bin ebuild for Japanese
Example: openoffice-bin ebuild for Japanese.
isn't there a 'more or less' standardized location where we could use e.g.: OOoLANG="de" emerge openoffice-bin style?? regards I have an czech binary ebuild contributed by someone on irc, and I could contribute a danish ebuild. It would be great if some kind of consensus could be reached regarding this as there seems to be a lot of open bugs. And as pointed out, some of then are quite old. What Thomas proposes seems like a good solution, given that the ebuilds are very similar, and it seems the case. *** Bug 58297 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** See also bug #40896 and #42512. (They are for app-office/openoffice though) Created attachment 42903 [details, diff]
openoffice-bin-1.1.3.ebuild-linguas.diff
This is a diff to openoffice-bin-1.1.3.ebuild.
It uses LINGUAS environment to support
Czech, Danish, German, French, Italian,
Japanese, Dutch, Chinese(simplified) and
Chinese(Traditional). I tested it with Japanese,
Chinese(simplified) and Chinese(traditional).

openoffice-bin-fontpath-gentoo.diff
Patch to add /usr/share/fonts/* to fontpath.
@usata: Your fonts-patch doesn't do anything for me, I guess all the fonts in /usr/share/fonts should be autoadded, but they don't show up for me, I still have to add them manually. Is there something I am missing? Does it work for you? I've now added the automatic font detection to the wrapper, better place to put it, there it even works ;) I really would like to get this into portage, but there are some issues with it that need to be resolved first, which are non-trivial: *) Atm, the ebuild downloads all variants in your LINGUAS + the english one, this is a blocker for me, it should only download one. *) Also: How to handle upgrades? The translated version are not released at the same time, some even skip versions. So people happily using - let's say - a japanese version of 1.1.3 are automatically upgraded to an english 1.1.4. The alternative - to use different ebuilds for each and every localized version - is a way I don't want to go (and won't). This would introduce a lot of new packages in the portage dir, which will be obsolete anyway, when 2.0 arrives (which should support language packs), also all of this packages would have to block each other, which would be quite a mess. Comments? Ideas? After looking for a working solution, I can quite safely say, there is no satisfying one for OOo 1.1.x, so won't do this for this series. BUT: I've just put a new 2.0-pre version into portage (openoffice-bin-1.9.91-r1) which has LINGUAS support. Still hard masked, but thanks to the new language packs, this closes this bug :) |
