Re: [tdf-discuss] MacOS X install: use native packaging which can be installed without user confirmation?

The native MacOS X package allows one to use the open command to fully install packages without providing any kind of additional confirmation (such as clicking OK). First do a complete installation of LO (plus langpacks, helpfiles, forms for all users and all that stuff) that you want to have on one Mac. Than copy the .app - Package of this LO Version to all other computers on which you like to have it. Done. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Uwe Altmann -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Thanks; this was quite helpful. Should LO's needs for application and language pack installation no longer mesh well with TAR archives, I hope they'll LO developers and packagers will consider confirmation-free installs. -- J.B.

Would LibreOffice hackers who package for MacOS X consider distributing LibreOffice software as native MacOS X packages so one could use the GUI or the open command? Please note I'm talking about the package files inside the .dmg files LO already distributes, not the .dmg files. Thanks. -- J.B.

Hi *, On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 6:02 PM, J.B. Nicholson-Owens j...@illinois.edu wrote: Is there some way to install LibreOffice and its language packs completely from the command line? the Installation of languagepacks on mac consists of extracting a tarball included within the dmg - the GUI is only there to find the installation location, ask for admin privileges if necessary and in order not to have to use the commandline.. But as admin, asking for a way using the commandline, mount the dmg, then just extract the tarball in the LO installation directory (tar -C installation location -xjf langpackcontentdir/tarball.tar.bz2), then umount/detach the languagepack. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
