I almost forgot! you will need a dependency in the SMF manifest on at
least svc:/system/filesystem/local:default

Hi,
The current openoffice package in the IPS repository appear to come
without dictionaries. The reason is that the package was created using
the SRV4 packages, which can be obtained from here
http://download.openoffice.org
The SRV4 packages contain postinstall scripts which install the
dictionaries in OpenOffice.org. Because these scripts are not supported
by IPS there are no dictionaries in OpenOffice.org. However they can be
downloaded at
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary
and installed using OOo's extension manager.
I have created a SMF service which installs the dictionaries. The
service was tested with OpenOffice.org DEV300m57 which is a development
version of the future OOo 3.2. The current OOo developer build can be
obtained at
http://download.openoffice.org/next/other.html
The files of the service can be obtained via FTP using anonymous login.
Here are the details:
Server:
qa-upload.services.openoffice.org
Directory:
OSOL_Repository_integration_script
File:
OSOL_Repository_integration_script_CWS-jl133.tar
Here is the content of the README file which is also in that tar file:
================================================================================
Installation information
================================================================================
In order to properly install the bundled extensions, such as
dictionaries, it is
necessary that the files
installed
ooo_bundled_extensions.xml
svc-ooo_bundled_extensions
are part of the OpenOffice.org IPS package. They must be added to the
package
after all other files have been added. Those other files are the SVR4
packages
of OOo which can be imported by pkg (pkg import).
The files have to be uploaded this way:
pkgsend -s url_to_pkg_server add file installed mode=644 owner=root
group=bin path=${EXTENSIONPATH}/installed
restart_fmri=svc:/application/ooo_bundled_extensions:default
pkgsend -s url_to_pkg_server add file svc-ooo_bundled_extensions
mode=744 owner=root group=bin
path=/lib/svc/method/svc-ooo_bundled_extensions
pkgsend -s url_to_pkg_server add file ooo_bundled_extensions.xml
mode=644 owner=root group=bin
path=/var/svc/manifest/application/ooo_bundled_extensions.xml
restart_fmri=svc:/system/manifest-import:default
---
${EXTENSIONPATH} must be replaced by the path to the folder containing the
bundled extensions. This path changes with every major release of OOo
because of
the version number which is part of a folder name. The
current value is:
EXTENSIONPATH=/opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install
The service was tested with OpenSolaris release 2009.6 and may not work
with a
previous release.
================================================================================
What do these files do
================================================================================
The three files constitute a SMF service. When this service is started,
then it
installes the bundled extensions which are contained in
/opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install. To install them, the
service calls
"unopkg add --shared ..." with the appropriate arguments.
The service is started initially after the installation of
ooo_bundled_extensions.xml. At this time, all files of OOo, including the
extensions, have been copied to their destination. The service calls
unopkg on
behalf of every extension and adds the path to that extension to the file
'installed'. The file 'installed' is used to remember what extensions have
already been installed with unopkg. This will prevent to reinstall those
extensions whenever the service is restarted.
When a new version of OOo becomes available, then the respective OOo
package
containes a new version of 'installed'. That is, it contains a version
string,
such as 3.2.0. The sole reason for that string is, to change the content
of this
file in every release. Otherwise IPS would not replace the installed
version of
'installed' with the one contained in the package.
The update procedure of OOo will replace 'installed'. 'installed' is
associated
with a restart_fmri of the service ooo_bundled_extensions. That is after
copying 'installed' the service will be restarted. It then installes all
extensions contained in /opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install,
because
the newly installed 'installed' file does not contain any entries yet,
except
for the version string.
================================================================================
Known issues
================================================================================
If OOo, which contains this service, is uninstalled and later it is
installed
again, then the bundled extensions are not installed. That is, unopkg is
not
called to install them with OOo's Extensions Manager. The reasons is a
bug in
OpenSolaris:
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5742
To work around this, one can call after uninstalling OOo
svccfg delete -f ooo_bundled_extensions
svccfg delete smf/manifest
--------------------------------------------------
It would be great if someone would be willing to test this and to
create the IPS packages for OpenOffice.org.
