--0eh6TmSyL6TZE2Uz Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In the OpenOffice.org Makefiles, EXECBASE is set to "openoffice.org-${OOOVE= RSION}", "openoffice.org-${OOOTAG}", and other variations instead of simply= "openoffice.org". Because of this, to load the program, I have to know wh= at version number I have installed. For example, to run the latest stable = version, I'd have to run "openoffice.org-2.3.1" as opposed to something ver= sion independent like "openoffice.org". I have a number of different keyboard and desktop shortcuts to Writer, Calc= , and other tools. If I made the shortcuts to use the binary that's create= d when I install the program (openoffice.org-2.3.1, for example), I'd have = to update the shortcuts to reflect version number changes when I install a = new version. I assume that developers and testers may have more than one version install= ed, and they would need EXECBASE to remain as it is. For the rest of us, i= t means extra work is needed to update our shortcuts. My idea is to add something like "@${LN} -fs ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice.org-$= {OOOVERSION} ${PREFIX}/bin/openoffice.org" to the Makefiles and put the cor= responding symlinks in the pkg-plist files. Whatever version was installed= last would open when you run "openoffice.org", and if you have more than o= ne version installed, you can choose which one to run by adding the version= number as a suffix. Comments, anyone? Should I go ahead and submit the patches? --=20 A.J.
