Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 87345
openoffice.org Slackware menus - modification
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:33:51 UTC
With the reference to the Issue 59183: With Slackware 12.0 the KDE installation path has changed from /opt/kde to /usr There is a need to introduce this small change in to slackware-menu package. cloph: answering your question from Issue 59183: As far as I know there is no mechanism in Slackware to handle this issue within one package, so in order not to include 2 packages for slackware it will be better to stick with the new path. Or another but not very nice solution is to keep kde related files both in old and in new location.
Since Slackware 12.0, kde is in the /usr prefix, so yes, the icons will need to be placed in the /usr/share/icons area now. I would not recommend shipping two separate packages - as I see it, a user who needs the latest OpenOffice.org should consider upgrading to a more recent Slackware version that supports it. Due to the obviously imperfect conversion of the RPM's to Slackware package format and/or installing with rpm on Slackware systems (see footnotes below), I'm curious as to whether you guys would consider recommending my third party package for OOo to Slackware users on your download page. Basically all I do is repackage the individual rpm's into one large package, with the only changes being making it comply with Slackware packaging standards and fixing the menu entries to run properly in xfce. Full package sources are here (along with the script that runs to actually build the package): http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/sources/12.1/openoffice.org/ and the package itself is here: http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/ Re RPM issues: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=95090 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44146 I am a member of the Slackware development team, and while we have no intention of adding OOo to the core Slackware system, I intend to continue to maintain unofficial packages for the foreseeable future.
@rworkman: Shouldn't be better just to change the slackware's desktop integration package? That's a tgz. This question already have been handled somewhere - on another issue?
