<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> Hello, I'm Celia Palacios, a member of LibreOffice community, and very new to distro packaging of LibreOffice in Arch. I was directed to this list because I want to know how to resolve the Java dependencies for (Base) Report Builder in Arch. I ask for support to understand how to build the PKGBUILD file accordingly. I noticed that the PKGBUILD file used to build LibO package in Arch has the --disable-report-builder flag. [2] The actual Arch dev is maintaining the LibreOffice packages without the report builder included, because there is an "ugly tree of dependencies" (sic)[1] of Java that makes it difficult to compile in order to have the complete features of LibreOffice. On the other hand, distros like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Flatpak, and openSUSE have these dependencies resolved, so the problem of dependencies is not so a (big) problem, I think 😬 A summary of what/where I asked to in the Arch forum is here: <aside xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="moz-card url-replaced" style="width:600px; display:flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center; flex-direction:row; flex-wrap:wrap; border-radius:10px; border:1px solid silver;" id="card-1721621152967"> <div class="card-content" style="display:flex; flex-direction:column; flex-basis:100%; flex:3;"> <div style="margin:0 1em;"> bbs.archlinux.org <a href="#" style="font-weight:600; text-decoration:none;"><big class="title">Libreoffice Base Report Builder not opening / supporting arch linux / Applications & Desktop Environments / Arch Linux Forums</big></a> <a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296578" class="url" style="display:inline-block; text-decoration:none; text-indent:-2ch; margin-inline:2ch;" title="bbs.archlinux.org">🔗 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296578</a> </div> </div> </aside> The Arch forum moderator Lone_Wolf suggested me that I have to resolve these dependencies first, and then show the modified PKGBUILD in order to try to convince the Arch dev (AndyRTR, by the way). That's the job I want to complete. In Arch's PKGBUILD I found that they pull jfreereport. [2] In rpm's Fedora and Flatpak, I found they pull <code class="lang-rpm-specfile hljs">pentaho-reporting-flow-engine. [3] </code> <code class="lang-rpm-specfile hljs">In openSUSE, they pull pentaho-libxml and pentaho-reporting-flow-engine. [4] In Debian and Ubuntu, they use a separate package called libreoffice-report-builder (which I assume encompasses all these dependencies). This is a very well documented issue. </code> ----- [1] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57765">https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57765</a> [2] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/libreoffice-fresh/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD">https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/libreoffice-fresh/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD</a> [3] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libreoffice/blob/rawhide/f/libreoffice.spec">https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libreoffice/blob/rawhide/f/libreoffice.spec</a> [4] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://build.opensuse.org/projects/LibreOffice:Factory/packages/libreoffice/files/libreoffice.spec">https://build.opensuse.org/projects/LibreOffice:Factory/packages/libreoffice/files/libreoffice.spec</a> Warm regards, Celia <div class="moz-signature">________________________ Ego sum in porta limine.</div> </body> </html>
