Re: [Cooker] OpenOffice has been released
Unfortunately, OOo 1.1 still has several bugs, not the least of which is that it still mangles the occassional Excel spreadsheet in a manner similar to OOo 1.0.2. I had to revert to OOo 1.0.3.1 at work to interoperate with the Excel users. Thomas Spuhler wrote: What are you waiting for to release the distro. If it is for the formal released version of OpenOffice 1.1 then congratulation! I am a marketing person of a mid-size corporation and strongly supporting Linux at work. Releasing a distro with OpenOffice RC would not be a wise move from a marketing point. There are always bugs in a program, regardless how long you test it. If it's a RC then that will be the first thing everybody notices and will relate it to a second class distro. If a few more days are needed to incorporate the released version, then please consider to do so. This is just my 2 cent advice. Tom

I think YOU missed the point. Nowhere does it say RC-anything on the version on OpenOffice that will ship with 9.2... not the splash screen, and not the ABOUT dialog. I doubt if there are any significant bugfixes between the shipped version and the final anyway, and if there are (for example) serious security problems, they will be provided as updates. Who exactly will notice/care that it's an RC other than an RPM hacker? The distro release has to be made on time. There is no waiting for new packages. If one waits of openoffice, why not kde, then why not mplayer 1.0, then why not mozilla 2.0? The only decision to be made was to ship old openoffice 1.0, or new 1.1. The 1.1 RC's were very stable as many cooker people attested, and the prospect of new features FAR outweighed any potential RC-quality problems. Now the REAL question is this: Why doesn't Mandrake know what an RC is? OpenOffice.org releases actual release candidates... i.e. they are good enough to be releases. Mandrake Linux release candidates are in fact beta verisons. But that's a whole other discussion isn't it?

I realize you're probably swamped with other things, but if it looks like 1.1 might be released close to Mandrake 9.2, it might be fun to pound on it and make sure it works. :-) Thanks, Vinny
Re: [Cooker] OpenOffice won't work
Don't know why, but sometimes the .openoffice directory and its contents is created with errors. In those cases the only why to have it runing has been to me copy a whole .openoffice directory to my home from an account where it is runing; after that OpenOffice runs fine. A .openoffice from a previous 1.0.1 release also works. Hope this help to solve the problem now, but we had to investigate the causes of it.

It seems that OO switches antialiasing off for small fonts and 'options/view/antialiasing-from N pixels' setting doesn't help. I ended up compiling libfreetype-2.0.9 with hinting and LD_PRELOAD it in the 'ooffice' script. Version 2.0.9 is the best for OO 1.0.1. Ural.

Re: [Cooker] OpenOffice and MSEC 4
Hi, The problem was even worse than that. :-/ Thanks for reply ! So what is really the problem ? what do you mean by even worse ? launch for users which are not in the group allowed to see config files is not enough. Actually, OOo needs access to /proc/pid/cmdline, which is not available to users in msec 4 mode. Likewise, OOo (re)implementation of realpath() [osl_getFullPath] behaved strangely, if not working at all when /, /usr, /usr/lib et al. are not readable by users. Bye, Gwenole.

Volunteers? Not so much of a big deal? The 605 rpm in contrib has a broken way of doing things. After installing the RPM, OO.o should be installed ... thus the setup should be run during rpm build, but to make it non-interactive would require using the response-file method from 5.2 (if it still works). Also, including the non-LGPL wordlists for spell-checking for all OO.o supported languages would be cool. Also, build process is not trivial ... -- |Registered Linux User #182071-| Buchan MilneMechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work+27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x202 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/gpg.key

Re: [Cooker] Openoffice in contrib
Yes, yes, and yes. I am also using a more current version, 641b. It works far better than what is now available in the contrib archive. Printing now works sweet for one thing. 641c is currently available and I am hearing that 1.0 is in the wings, but unfortunately will not make 8.2. But the lack of printing support in the current contrib version makes it next to useless in the real world. 641c on the other hand would be VERY useful. - George Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tech At Mathco Dot Com wrote: I belive that OpenOffice in contrib should be updated to the latest stable build.

[Fwd: Re: [Cooker] Openoffice in contrib]
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The previous build (641) is quite good. I have not had any serious problems with it. But if we must not include any software that hasn't got some bugs, how much software will be in cooker (besides tetex?). However, I think it is worthwhile doing the effort of starting to package it, since there is a lot of work involved. When did contrib first include Mozilla? Wasn't it something like milestone 18? OpenOffice.org (641 at least) is much more stable than Mozilla at M18.
