Some time ago KDE3 support has been removed from openSUSE's LibreOffice packages even though it is well featured by upstream.
I have built LibreOffice with KDE3 support but my commits were rejected under various pretexts. A follow-up discussion emerged here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2015-04/msg00119.html but no one voiced in support of this feature except me.
I can build LibreOffice with KDE3 support in KDE:KDE3 but this will take a lot of OBS power and the package will be either outdated or will need constant fixing.
I'm reading the rejection reason in https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/295195 and it sounds like no-go (longer build, more dependencies). The linked factory discussion is neither looking good for the kde3 integration. So I'm curious if own LO build could work in the longterm. Let's say the package would be rebuilt infrequently so potential manual fixing could be minimized. My estimate is once in a month, with exceptions (urgent bugs).
From the SR I can't see the actual diff to enable kde3, maybe the automerging of spec could work flawlessly. Possibly, the factory LO.spec file could be tuned to make automerging more likely to pass, eg. adding some extra lines or markers.
That is I am calling now you folks who uses KDE3 to voice more strongly in support of restoration of KDE3 feature in LibreOffice.
As much as I'd like to see this succeed, I think KDE3 is more tolerated than welcome so I'm betting more on the DIY approach. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
