Package: openoffice.org Version: 1.1.2dfsg1-3 Severity: wishlist
I need the ability to set system wide defaults. Currently set things like default fonts, data sources and autosave.
I suspect others with an enterprise environment would find this useful.
I have tried a couple things over the years but nothing has been 100% satisfactory.
Current I'm running rh7.3 with a generic openoffice 1.1.0. I'm switching to debian sarge and want to use the the debian packages.
What I currently do is to edit the xml files /usr/local/OpenOffice.org1.1.0/share
Can get away with this because I have complete control over the installation.
I'm sure I could so the same with in /usr/lib/openoffice/share but I assume my changes would be killed
with every update as I doubt it is anticipated that these files will be edited. If charges are checked for, that may be a possibility, but really do not like config files in /usr
As far as I can see openoffice merges the configurations from /usr/lib/openoffice/share with the users personal install user/ files. A really nice solution would be to merge in configs from /etc/openoffice.
Another method that I have done is to add a hook in the install part of openoffice startup program to copy in additional configuration data into the personal install.
I need some sort of solution very soon. Is there something in place that I'm not aware of? Any plans? I need to do it anyway I can contribute what I do. Appreciate any comments or suggestions on the best way to proceed.
