Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18847
Readme do not mention using -net for multiuser installs
Last modified: 2011-02-17 02:39:12 UTC
The readmes that accompany the various distributions do NOT tell users that -net is required to ensure multi-user access. This particularly significant with the Windows distribution. I will attach two patches to apply against the existing files for the developer to use to update the files.
Created attachment 8897 [details] Patch to fix Windows install readme
Created attachment 8898 [details] Patch to fix up linux README
I expect that the developer can extract the pertinent information from either of these patches and apply them to the other distributions, such as Solaris or Mac
I just realized that release is VERY near so I have up'ed the priority to reflect this.
Why not having a look at the setup guide? Why is this a P1? Sander, what do you think of additional information for the readme files?
It's a P1 because this is important! If you don't want to apply the patches et cetera, please close the issue. Or do we have to argue about the benefits and still not get it done? I applaud that the Setup guide is to be included. Please adjust the patches accordingly.
please see http://www.openoffice.org/project/www/issues/bug_status.html#priority for setting priorities. of course this is an important issue.
I read it. The last line under P1 says, "These issues have to be handled immediately and must be fixed before release." You have chosen P3 yet the page says: Priority 2 This priority describes major bugs. Examples: # Crashes in basic functionality # Freezes in basic functionality # Data loss # Functional area gets lost (i.e. printing) # Basic functionality is not working correctly Issues with this priority must be fixed before release. I think this issue qualifies for the fifth. Do you need more patches? After all we would like to get this corrected as soon as possible, no?
I do not argue: this is a must before next release, so it has to be P1 or P2 but the other way round: this applies to "non-intuitive way to achieve "standard" issues", which would leave to P4 => must not fixed in next release :(. If it would be a simple fix for an ascii readme, I would take your patch immidiatly, but unfortunatly the readme.txt and readme.html are generated by readlicense/docs/readme/readme.xrm which is based on an internal structure which is not that simple to extend (in a very short time frame). also it would require another localiazation cycle for also translated languages. this is the reason why I don't accept this for 1.1.0 release any more (and it was as well not in 1.0.x readme), but I think we can do it for 1.1.1.
Good explanation. I can accept this and will leave the issue in your hands.
I think we have setup guide so no need to put such info duplicated also in README files.
No comments for a week, thus WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen if you think it is absolute must to mention -net in the README files.

IT IS DIFICULATY FILE CONVERT AND FILL-UP FOR NEW PROJECTS.
