We know there is a new version. For the source version there are some incompatibilities though, so I have not been able to produce a working ebuild yet. Please hang with me.
Comment 2 Jesse Adelman 2003-08-17 01:20:14 UTC
No problem. I hope it's OK though to post a "ebuild enhancement", just to passively track the progess. I think everyone know how much of a tough beast OOo is... ;)
Comment 3 Genady Okrain 2003-08-17 07:01:21 UTC
genady12@Gentoo:~$ ooffice
genady12@Gentoo:~$


The ebuild works?
Comment 4 Brad Laue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-17 09:09:59 UTC
There are also compatibility issues to be sorted out with regard to the 'default language' OpenOffice is using - I'm assuming they're using some new specification for english, which is causing everyone's existing .openoffice preferences directories to become invalid.

I'm hoping we can work around that before the ebuilds are put into portage...

ooffice-wrapper for openoffice-bin-1.1_rc3

This is the ooffice-wrapper script. It needs to be in
openoofice-bin/files/1.1_rc3.
Comment 9 Brad Laue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-19 14:34:18 UTC
Wilbur: Did this ebuild and wrapper succeed in running the new version of openoffice when installed in place of a previous 1.1_rc release? The problem we're having is that it's requiring users to replace their current preferences directories, which we don't want.
Comment 10 Wilbur Pan 2003-08-19 21:17:37 UTC
I didn't test that particular situation -- oops. On my system, I had unemerged 1.1_rc2, 
which did leave the preferences directory in place in my home directory.  When I 
emerged 1.1_rc3, it picked up my preferences without any problems.  I will give this a try 
tomorrow at work when I get back to my Gentoo laptop. 

Comment 11 Wilbur Pan 2003-08-20 06:49:55 UTC
I think I should have done more testing before uploading the attachments... 
 
This is what I was ableto find: 
 
1. Installing openoffice-bin-1.1_rc3 works if there are no other versions of 
openoffice installed. 
 
2. Installing openoffice-bin-1.1_rc3 works if openoffice-1.1_rc1 or rc2 are 
installed, but a change has to be manually made to the ~/.sversionrc file, 
since rc3 seems to be referred to as OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 in ~/.sversionrc and 
expects to find it's preferences in ~/.openoffice/1.1.0.  After changing the 
.sversionrc file, rc3 picks up the preferences that used to exist in the other 
1.1_rc versions.  This was my hack, but probably a cleaner way to do this 
would be to copy over the 1.1 folder to 1.1.0. 
 
3. Trying to emerge openoffice-bin-1.1_rc3 over openoffice-bin-1.0.x results 
in some access errors and the install crashes. 
 
I don't have enough experience (yet) to fix these issues myself, but hopefully 
they will be useful to those who actually know what they are doing.  :)
