Thanks for thrashing this out over the past couple of days :) I think the
'office' name originaly came from Peter, who later renamed it (or was it
Jan?) to openoffice. The source file is still called 'ooffice', BTW (in
debian/local). Gwenole kept the 'ooffice' name for Mandrake and looking at
David's RPMs for RedHat, it looks like he has ooffice too:
cat %{SOURCE5} | sed -e "s/<OOVERSION>/%{subver}/" > %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/ooffice
Also, the result of replacing 's' with 'oo' in all of the command names in
/usr/lib/openoffice/program (scalc, swriter, etc) gives oocalc, oowriter,
oopadmin, ooffice. And the only one which we don't have already is ooffice.
So, at this time, I'm now thinking I should have listened to Jack in the
first place and we should put that link in.
Erm, comments?
Chris
