let me try to explain it better... a user, open yast and select "office pattern" it expect to install office applications that fit his DE. actually that pattern always install OO.o
imho, it should work as following
the user select "office pattern", if DE = kde --> patterns-openSUSE-kde_office if DE = gnome --> patterns-openSUSE-gnome_office if DE = xfce --> patterns-openSUSE-xfce_office if DE = lxde --> patterns-openSUSE-lxde_office
where of course, gnome and kde install OO.o and lxde (and maybe even xfce) will install lighter solutions like abiword,gnumeric ecc
That should solve even "tipical user" problem, because they use usually kde/gnome, but also fix all the other users that if use xfce/lxde of course do not want the heavy OO.o
i hope is a little bit more clear now.
I understood it that way, but will you install that based on the current running DE? because you can always install multiple DEs, so you can't querry for that. I think this will be confusing to people, let's say I used KDE before and now install LXDE on another system I want "office" to be the same on both without surprises. You can create a lightweight office pattern and/or use it for the live cd, but adding such nonobvious behaviour to the office pattern is contraproductive. Karsten

Well, I suppose this is an argument about whether we are (a) integrating LXDE into openSUSE, or (b) integrating openSUSE into LXDE.
I'd have to argue the first. And since openSUSE uses OpenOffice.org
as the default office suite regardless of DE (we install by default OO.o on KDE despite KOffice), I don't see why that would be different for LXDE.

of course we are integrating LXDE into openSUSE, but is still true i would like to provide a perfect integration, based to user wishes:

Hi people,
as you know, i'm working on LXDE into 11.3
i noticed a strange thing with Office pattern.
if you install office pattern, it will install OO.o this is imho wrong... in particular for xfce and lxde, that may want to use a lighter solution (check lxde-office pattern). i think, that Office pattern sould install "nothing" and call as "dependencie" $DE_office pattern something like "imaging" pattern..
what do you think about it?
I think "office" is defined as OpenOffice for typical users. You can of course still change it to be not that - lxde is not installed by typical users, so I don't see a clash there.
Greetings, Stephan
