But actually, for this to work, the discussion should be
brought to the debian-openoff...@lists.debian.org list, not
debian-u...@lists.debian.org. Also we need someone understand
how to
package .deb packages that follow the Debian policy in order to
package
AOO by the Debian policy.
Long time ago, Rene Engelhard subscribed me to the list, and I
know well what happens, since I receive everything (a lot of mails
indeed .. ). Not sure I can post though, but read is ok for me.
And I'm aware of your requests ... and of Rene answers too :-/
I read Rene's position and if it's really "technically impossible"
to have both LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice in Debian
There could be duplicated installed stuff, but since OOo4Kids
installs fine on any Debian or derivative with LO, I bet this is
possible :-)
then I would think that proves, yet again, that FreeBSD is
technically superior to Debian. (not to talk about freedom just
yet ;) )
Ha ha :-)
BTW, I am pretty sure that we would like to have OOoLight and
OOoKids in FreeBSD and it shouldn't be difficult to use the current
AOO port as a template.
Not sure. I'll have to adapt a lot of things first.
I am extremely busy at this time but it would surely be something
to consider.
There will be a lot of work before : our derivative products are
based on OOo 3.2.1 source code, and I prefer use dmake instead of gnu
make, who mainly added problems and solved nothing important (to my
eyes, but I can be wrong).
So the patch will be big, but I already did it at the begining. What
I could do is align OOo4kids with AOOo (this is two weeks of work at
least) and provide patches for the missing makefiles and so on.
The localization will need some love too : in OOo4Kids, I modified
the makefiles to use localized.sdf + localized-$application.sdf
($application can contain OOo4kids or OOo or OOoLight) files, and I
even added localized-OOo.sdf in case we backport a day the new
strings we added in OOo4Kids.
e.g : localize-OOo.sdf localize-OOo4Kids.sdf localize-
OOoLight.sdf localize.sdf exist for all the supported locales.
localize.sdf contains only old 3.2.1 stuff, less what has been
modified. I got a process to build new .sdf from scratch. Not perfect
(even hackish), but works very well at least for the 18 locales we
provide.
Suggestion : as improvement, I'd suggest to use the same process for
new strings, introducing localize-New.sdf or something similar in
AOOo. The idea is to separate the new strings from the other older
one (introducing a safer build system), and to progressively
integrate new stuff. e.g. once all strings are ok, and no regression
is detected, then integrate the NEW into the old localize.sdf. Other
interest : the new strings integration process could be done
asynchronously with the release, and decoupled for every locale. But
that's just a suggestion ;-)
Back to FreeBSD : as answer, I know the build is currently possible
on OpenBSD (not tested since a while). FYI, I even wrote a port file
(untested, probably buggy), but so far, nobody reported anything on
FreeBSD yet, but there is no reason it won't work.
To be continued ;-)
Eric
