 It would be more convenient for admins who do large-scale deployments to
 be able to do automated installs, including installs from remote control
 systems like Apple Remote Desktop. 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.

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.

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.

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.
