Openoffice rpm

[Richard Houston]

Great I look forward to seeing these update.

Relating to my original question, is there a way to remove the
libgnomeprint stuff and include the spadmin util in the spec file? Here is
why, the manager of the project i am working on currently want the
printing system to be a uniformed as possible. Now I have convince this
client that OpenOffic is just fine for what they need. They were looking
at MS office with Crossover.

They were concerned that Adobe acrobat printed one way, openoffice printed
a second way and gedit a third. So I work out the use of krpinter by
changing the symlink in /etc/alternatives/lpr to /usr/bin/kprinter. Now
all the common user apps, Acrobat Reader and Mozilla print the with
kprinter with the exception of OpenOffice. Now I tried on a stock
OpenOffice install and I can use kprinter  with no issue by changing the
printer command from lpr to kprinter but the FC2 install is different as
we have discussed.

So in short if I can have all the chrome of the FC2 install but have
access to spadmin and the stock printer system I could make this client
very happy.

Just something to think about for the future, maybe gnome could come up
with a system like KDE's Kprnter and apps could call either gnome or kde
version  to handle user printer jobs. This way by symlinking lrp even
stuff written to use lpr only could benefit from the gnome-print or
kprinter setup and give the user a single printer system. Just an idea.
