------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu May 5 09:22:47 -0700 2005 ------- I installed openofficeorg-mandrakelinux-menus-1.9.95-1 (among others) on Mandrakelinux 10.1, and noticed a few issues that prevent the menus working consistently: 1)The menu file generated in the %post does not use a package name for the component for the menu entry for the component. Since the mandrakelinux-menus package only depends on openofficeorg-core01 (which only requires the rest of the openoffice-core* packages) and mandrakelinux-release, it is quite easy to end up in a situation where the menus don't reflect the tools that are available (and the menus then don't start up the correct application). In my case, I installed only openofficeorg-mandrakelinux-menus-1.9.95-1 and all dependencies (via urpmi), which resulted in only sbase being available, and all menu entries (for Writer, Calc etc) only starting Base (it's not apparent that the rest of the packages are not installed, and since the redhat menus package previously required them all, it could have been confusing). So, for example, the menu entry for writer: $ grep -i writer /usr/lib/menu/openofficeorg-mandrakelinux-menus ?package(openofficeorg-mandrakelinux-menus): needs=x11 section="Office/Wordprocessors" icon="openofficeorg-19-writer.png" title="OpenOffice.org Writer" longtitle="OpenOffice.org Word Processing Component" command="openoffice.org-1.9 -writer %U" mimetypes="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-template,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-web,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-master,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.template,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.global,application/vnd.stardivision.writer,application/msword,application/vnd.ms-word,application/x-doc,text/rtf" kde_opt="InitialPreference=100" startup_notify="true" should be: ?package(openofficeorg-writer): needs=x11 section="Office/Wordprocessors" icon="openofficeorg-19-writer.png" title="OpenOffice.org Writer" longtitle="OpenOffice.org Word Processing Component" command="openoffice.org-1.9 -writer %U" mimetypes="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-template,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-web,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-master,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.template,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.global,application/vnd.stardivision.writer,application/msword,application/vnd.ms-word,application/x-doc,text/rtf" kde_opt="InitialPreference=100" startup_notify="true" Then, the menu for writer will only be visible if openofficeorg-writer is installed (which would be much more intuitive). 2)Secondly, the packages don't conflict or obsolete the OpenOffice.org packages shipped with the distribution, yet use the same menu category *and* title, so if the OpenOffice.org (1.1.x) packages are installed, the menus for openofficeorg-1.9* aren't visible. Instead of the entry shown above, the menu entry should be something like: ?package(openofficeorg-writer): needs=x11 section="Office/Wordprocessors" icon="openofficeorg-19-writer.png" title="OpenOffice.org 2.0 Writer" longtitle="OpenOffice.org 2.0 Word Processing Component" command="openoffice.org-1.9 -writer %U" mimetypes="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-template,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-web,application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text-master,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.template,application/vnd.sun.xml.writer.global,application/vnd.stardivision.writer,application/msword,application/vnd.ms-word,application/x-doc,text/rtf" kde_opt="InitialPreference=100" startup_notify="true" Finally, while we're here ... it would be nice if openofficeorg-core01 obsoleted openoffice-core (or similar) ... I was left with some parts of 1.9.74 or something when I upgraded the packages. If you would like seperate bug reports for some aspects ... please let me know. Thank you for providing the mandrakelinux-menus package ... it has made life easier in general. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
