About Java

Java Runtime Environment is a software prerequiste for LibreOffice, see the relevant WPKG installer example. It's the reason why i have add it as a <depends> package.

Warning about OpenOffice

LibreOffice will replace previous OpenOffice installations (up to 3.3.0 version). Keep this in mind in your package management.

If you have a previous OpenOffice package you have three choice :

  • Remove it from profile so it's uninstalled first
  • Remove it from profile and delete the openoffice.xml file from your server so it is unlisted as a package on the clients (but not uninstalled) by the WPKG zombi feature. (my prefered choice)
  • Or, you can simply continue to use the "openoffice" name for your LibreOffice package.


LibreOffice 3.3.1

This is based on the OpenOffice 3.2.1 package script.

First you need to unpack .exe installer with a archive tool like 7zip and copy the obtained folder on your server. At this stage you can modify it with the Microsoft ORCA tool or InstEd. Or you can with the same tool creta a Transform file to use with the .msi installer. in my case i have created a Transform to install only Writer, Calc, Impress and the french language.
