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?
