Arch Linux User Repository

Hi, if anyone would like, here is my modified PKGBUILD. I have some extra things enabled that I use. Also, Czech localization is added, which is compiled together with the program (adjust it according to your needs). The package is created together with icons for the main menu. I use soffice.bin for startup - it is supposedly wrong, but it is faster than soffice and everything works for me. And I run it with the x11 backend, because otherwise the style editing is stupid. The VCL is gtk3, because then scrolling is smooth and fast even on an old computer. One problem is that with a dark design I have to turn off font previews, because otherwise there is white font on a white background. The second problem is that after a fresh installation, the program has to be started twice in a row to run. After that, it works normally.

Hello, add glm and mythes as makedepends.

@ardv The latest commit message of 7a60bd5 contains a summary of what features have been turned off. I started this project years ago just to see what can be turned off in order to keep dependencies at minimum. I know, there is still potential...

is there any details about this version? what is disabled in this version? i cant find: libreoffice-slim in libreoffice website documentation?

The flag --disable-neon is unrecognized by configure.

It was the easiest way to not interfere with an already installed libreoffice-{still,fresh}. Do you think we should go for a conflicts directive here?

Why go for /opt as the folder where the installation lives in? This is not at all what the package in the main repos does, nor standard practice in (Arch) Linux.

And could you (also) add that this provides libreoffice, or something along those lines? My primary reason for wanting a slim libreoffice is that its a dependency for a program I actually want to use, namely unoconv.

Why go for /opt as the folder where the installation lives in? This is not at all what the package in the main repos does, nor standard practice in (Arch) Linux.

Done

The flag --with-build-version is unrecognized by configure, and should be removed from the pkgbuild.
