Bug 667802 – app-office/libreoffice: symlink uno.py to site-packages

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description gerion 2018-10-05 10:48:30 UTC]

Libreoffice provides a python bridge with the help of uno.py. However, `import uno.py` in python does not work in Gentoo, because the file is not in the PYTHONPATH (the problem can be workarounded with PYTHONPATH+=":/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/" python`).

In other distributions (I have tested Arch and Debian) the uno.py script is copied (Debian) or symlinked (Arch) to /usr/lib/pythonX/site-packages/. Can you do this as well?

I saw, that you already patch the script to use the global python interpreter (if I get it right).

    app-office/libreoffice: Link python bridge in site-packages, drop patch
    
    Essentially syncing with openSUSE changes.
    - Obsolete patching of officehelper.py, uno.py not to break tests, use heredoc
    - Fix finding pyuno by reshuffling imports
    - Obsolete patching of soffice.sh by symlinking py files to site-packages
    - Symlink byte-compiled files too
