Configuration management



Hello,

I'd like to ask about suggested ways of ooo's configuration in Debian.
The topic has been around a while (see #293176, closed couple of days
ago, apparently due to the fact that nobody bothered to confirm it
against a 2.x version), but I couldn't google any reasonable docs on
this.

For a single desktop user, it is of no interest - his/her preferences
are saved under ~/.openoffice.org2, which is fine. However, a
systemwide or LAN-wide installation clearly needs the possibility of
saving default settings to some central location, which would override
the package's own defaults. These would in turn be overriden by the
usual ~/.openoffice.org2 preferences (with possibly having the option
to forbid certain user changes).

AFAIK, the ooo's design itself does provide for this. What I wasn't
able to figure out was how to do this correctly in Debian. Copy an
~/.openoffice.org2 template to /etc/openoffice? Parts of it? Something
completely different?

Any hints are welcome - documentation pointers, suggestions, experience.

TIA,

Radim
