Hello guys!

As I don't know howto make this extension myself. My hope is that someone with more knowledge could make it. I would be very pleased if someone could take on the challenge. It would be cool to be able to use the latest version of OpenOffice in DSL. Hope someone is up to it!

As always, have fun,
meo

easy to do...

1º) you need dsl ver 2.2 or similar in ver 3.3 or more have problems
to run *.rpm files, with dsl ver 2.2 its ok (by these metod)

2º) Dowload OOo.bla.bla.tar.gz ver linuxintel of OOo.org

3º) in aterm "tar -xzvf OOo.bla.bla.tar.gz" or load local with mydsl you make a temp dir with files *.rpm.

4º) in aterm with a line command in dir of *.rpm
for FILENAME in *.rpm ; do exec rpm2cpio "$FILENAME" | cpio -i -d ; done
it takes time to do.(go to take a coffe cup)
you have a /opt/OOo dir with all the program to run that you copy in opt dir. if you click with emelf ( or a aterm comand) in /opt/OOo/program/soffice the program runs.
make with icontools a acces..
if you are a solidaire linuxdslman make a uci..next

5º) mkisofs -R -hide-rr "name of /opt/ ooo dir" | create_compressed_fs -65536 > /mnt/hda1("or path to save uci" )/ openoffice2.3.uci
go to dinner...and when return you have the uci file..

From reading this post, it would seem the difference between 2.2 and more recent versions of DSL is rpm2cpio.

rpm2cpio in v2.2 is a link to busybox.
That rpm2cpio link is missing in recent versions of DSL, however the rpm2cpio applet is available in the compiled busybox of recent DSL.
I will restore the link.

In the meantime you can always run rpm2cpio by using

busybox rpm2cpio

ahhh..!!!

only add that if you want to do a OOo in other languages in point 2 dowload the OOo ver in spanish , polish etc and y the point 4 with a internet connection add dict and types with tutorials and OOo helps...you need java runtime ( in uci downloads )

Thanks for your info kuky!

I've made the openoffice-2.3.uci and it works just fine at least up to now.

Have fun out there fiddling with DSL,
meo
