[Bug 427102] New: OpenOffice.org split
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427102 Summary: OpenOffice.org split Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Release Notes AssignedTo: ke@novell.com ReportedBy: pmladek@novell.com QAContact: coolo@novell.com Found By: --- Hi Karl, you might want to include some of the following information in the beta1 release notes. I am sorry if it is too late. I have sent it to Zonker as well. We did a huge build split of OpenOffice.org for openSUSE-11.1-beta1. For the end users, it brings few new packages and many bugs, see below for more details. The main motivation for the build split was to make the developing easier and the maintenance updates smaller. Known bugs: + the application starts and seems to be usable + though, there are still many known problems: + the optional packages are not really optional because the registry files are not correctly spread over the subpackages + java and python components are not registered, so for example wizards do not work + the dialog to change macro security level is empty (more dialogs might be affected) + macro editor does not highlight the lines with breakpoints + macro editor does not mark the line where the code is stopped (arrow) + "Help" and "From Template" dialogs do not have icons + the initial wizard (to select document type) is not showed + ... + we hope to fix the most annoying problems before beta2/beta3 New core packages (are required by the main package OpenOffice_org): + OpenOffice_org-components + OpenOffice_org-filters + OpenOffice_org-l10n-extras + OpenOffice_org-libs-core + OpenOffice_org-libs-extern + OpenOffice_org-libs-gui + OpenOffice_org-ure + OpenOffice_org-icon-themes New optional packages: + OpenOffice_org-filters-optional (OpenOffice_org-filters includes basic filters now) + OpenOffice_org-help-<lang> (split from the localized subpackages, were already on last 11.1-alphas) Renamed packages + OpenOffice_org-l10n-<lang> (renamed from OpenOffice_org-<lang>, so that they can be searched more easily; were available on last 11.1-alphas(*) (*): We have removed OpenOffice_org-l10n-en-US again. It was available on the last openSUSE-11.1-alphas. The problem is that the packages, e.g. OpenOffice_org-calc, must be buildable and usable separately. They must include at least the default localization. It would be a nightmare for developers otherwise. The huge helpcontent is still separated in OpenOffice_org-help-en-US. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427102 User pmladek@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427102#c3 --- Comment #3 from Petr Mladek <pmladek@novell.com> 2008-09-30 03:52:48 MDT --- I have fixed the dependencies of the OOo packages for 11.1-beta2. Unfortunately, I was busy with some late features and other urgent tasks, so I did not have time to work on the other issues. It means that OOo on beta2 will still include the other known issues: + the dialog to change macro security level is empty; many other dialogs are affected similar way + "help" and "from template" and many other dialogs do not have icons + the initial wizard (to select document type) is not showed => will need more loving (probably after beta1) + macro editor does not highlight the lines with breakpoints + macro editor does not mark the line where the code is stopped (arrow) + Suse-puzzler.xls works only partly; e.h. "Sneaky Peak" or "About" works but the "Shuffle" does nohing. Also, I can't move the pieces by mouse. + some missing hacks from ooo-build/bin/package-ooo and older OOo.spec + missing OOo-sdk compat stuff (to build voiko..., bnc#428403) + parallel build problem (basic module) Please, mention them in the beta2 release notes. PS: I'll do my best to fix the most annoying problems before beta3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, I think that there is nothing really important to say in the release notes. The split build should not affect the end users. The biggest change was that we renamed lang packagages from OpenOffice_org-<lang> to <OpenOffice_org>-l10n-<lang>. Also we split the localized help content into separate optional <OpenOffice_org>-help-<lang> packages. Finally there are some more subpackages with extensions, e.g. OpenOffice_org-writer-extensions. But all these packages should get installed/updated automatically, so the end users need not take care of it. Yes, we have many new -devel packages but they are only useful for potential OOo developers. I think that they are not on the openSUSE DVD, ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We have new package OpenOffice_org-LanguageTool which provides a grammer checker for OOo (fate#304616, fate#304618, fate#304619, fate#304620, fate#304621). Also we have new package OpenOffice_org-converter which provides commandline document converter using OOo (fate#304874). Next, we have the package OpenOffice_org-base-drivers-postgresql that provides PostgreSQL driver for OOo (fate#304558) OOo started to import SVG, so we switched the openslipart gallery to the SVG file format (package OpenOffice_org-openclipart). .. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
