[installation-issues] [Issue 44102] Where are the install fil es? RPMs are useless
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=44102 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 19 13:51:37 -0700 2005 --- GNU/Linux is about standards. RPM is NOT a standard. Using RPMS might be justified if you were using them for anything other than a glorified tar. Wores yet, a tar that has to be told to ignore all it's error checking to get the OO installed. Sure most distros have an rpm mode, but since they are not the native installer they know nothing of the few dependencies that your RPMs are looking for. Folks change distros every few years, OO 2.0 is such a great product I need to deploy it much quicker than that. I can not wait for every laptop to be upgraded to the newest distro to get OO. I need it as soon as it is released, all over. Why is wrapping a few tar files in a shell script so hard? It is portable, it is standards compliant, it is easy to modify for special needs. RPMs are none of that. Simple scripts work for XFree, Xorg, Nvidia and many other universal binaries. Why this insistence on such a bizarre thing as RPMs? Where is the benefit? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[installation-issues] [Issue 48408] RPM update from 1.9.79 to 1.9.95

Both installations were useable and I didn't get your problem... Yes, the 113 works much better. It still requires quite a bit of digging in the man pages to figure out which switches in the rpm program you need. This is not gonna work for the average user. How about looking to the NVIDIA, Xfree and Xorg install processes? They provide some bulletproof scripts to run. maybe rpm2tgz/rpm2targz is a tool you could use? http://www.frozenblue.net/tools/slack-book/?op=package-management-package-utilities.html#PACKAGE-MANAGEMENT-PACKAGE-UTILITIES-RPM Sure, I can use a tool like that, but when helping my Realtor friend on the phone that is NOT going to work. The old OO installer worked just fine, the new one, in windows and linux, is adding to my call volume when I recommend OO. THis is causing me to recommend OO to many fewer people than before. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The top 3 for the last 12 months are Mandriva, Fedora and Ubuntu. Ubuntu, Mandriva and MEPIS for the last 3 months. It hardly matters since IMHO most people that have rpm distros do not use the rpms due to their limitations. Even for those distros and installations that do you are basing your install on package names that are not standard (/bin/sh!) thereby negating any advantage to rpms. You HAD a solution that worked on every Linux I know of and you are tossing it away for a grossly inferior solution. Trying to support the native package type for all 400+ linux distros is a loosing battle. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[installation-issues] [Issue 48408] RPM update from 1.9.79 to 1.9.95
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=48408 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 2 10:40:54 -0700 2005 --- I am using a lot of different distros, but the one I use the most is Slackware 10.0. On top of that I had to find a pretty old rpm to find the source to rpm in a tar.gz. With old rpm I could then get the new rpm version 4.0.2 to install. Since slackware does not use RPMs the dependency tree is then empty. I could live with that, until 1.9.79 got installed and then I could figure no way to install 1.9.95 alongside it for testing. Since 1.9.95 does not work with my printer I had to then do rel upgliness to get 1.9.79 back yet leaving 1.9.95 for testing. Please just bring back the old installer! It just always worked right. Hmm, interesting pointer to the sources, but since the binaries almost work why would I want to do that?

After a few days of trying, I got rpm installed. Do you know you can not find rpm source in a tar.gz? rpm source only comes as an srpm? Chicken, Egg? Soi I got 1.9.79 installed. Love it. So then I update to 1.9.95. Once again I have to fake out the broken dependencies, but it alos will not install alongside the old Beta. Only way I can get it to install is an as Update. Not happy about that, especially in a beta. So then I get all these ugly message in the install. I would like to tell you what is going wrong, but of course the rpm installer deletes the tmp files. # rpm -U --nodeps *rpm which: no update-mime-database in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) /tmp/install.12696: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12696: [: ==: unary operator expected which: no update-desktop-database in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) /tmp/install.12756: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12756: [: ==: unary operator expected /tmp/install.12768: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12768: [: ==: unary operator expected /tmp/install.12793: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12793: [: ==: unary operator expected /tmp/install.12812: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12812: [: ==: unary operator expected /var/local/tmp/rpm-tmp.41005: update-menus: command not found error: execution of %post scriptlet from openofficeorg-mandrakelinux-menus-1.9.95-1 failed, exit status 127 /tmp/install.12852: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12852: [: ==: unary operator expected hobbes:/usr/local/archive/OO/RPMS# /tmp/install.12907: rpm: command not found /tmp/install.12907: [: ==: unary operator expected Not sure what bad assumptions your install script made. 2 minutes of testing and the install looks fine.

Check out www.rpm.org. The only way you can get current binaries or source to rpm is in an rpm! If your host does not have a native RPM then you need to go through some strange bootstrapping. Or as they helpfully suggest The best way to get RPM is to install Red Hat Linux.. Neither option is something I can get the average Linux user to do. I finally managed to bootstrap an rpm on my system, and found the only dependenciy was on /bin/sh. All that work, which few others will bother with, to find out that? Then since I had not been using rpms I had to override that dependency. Bring back the old installer! The only reason I see to use the new installer is to encourage people to buy RedHat. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
