Falko, Please have a look. Maybe a more generic solution: to provide the installation script with an interface for a plugin, i.e. an external program which is called by the installation script to install additional stuff. There should be a mechanism to pass it some information such as install directories, etc. *** This issue has been confirmed by popular vote. *** I have one more question: The software dictinstall (http://www.ooodocs.org/dictinstall/) does exactly that job, and is licenced under the LGPL. Why can't it be included in the installer of OOo ? (Maybe because it's not multiplatform ?) Hi, Adding myself to CC on this one. Kevin Hi, Any further info or comments on this one? Thanks, Kevin Sorry, but GPL wordlists are more or less an exclusive appearance unter *nix. At least I don't know nothing about these list under Windows systems. Furthermore there are already effort underway to bring alternative spell-checker et al into OO.o. KH -> FT, Based on your response I don't think you really understand the issue at all. There are numerous spellcheck dictionaries available from http:// lingucomponent.openoffice.org/download_dictionary.html These dictionaries will and do work with the OOo spellchecker under ALL platforms (not just *nix). Many of these dictionaries are covered under the GPL license which precludes them from being integrated into the main CVS tree. If there was some sort of "hook" that could be added to the installation program so that a script or another program could be automatcially run right before installation completes, then volunteers could write the code to automatically insall the GPL dictionaries for users (on any platform ... windows included!). So what this issue was about was to add some sort of hook or technique or code to the current installation program that would also install dictionaries (GPL or not) if present in the main installation location, or at least fork and execute an external script so that some other program can handle that. So whatever solution is done for the new installer should include a hook to add in other packages (via script or program or whatever) for ALL platforms, not just *nix. Kevin Many of these I will have a second look on this. reassigned to myself. mh: looks like we now have OOoDic -> I'd suggest to close this as WORKSFORME. treat issue as suggested. close issue. |
