Had an issue with 5.3.1 when trying to save files in root directory. Not root.... root directory. Went back to 5.1 without issue.

The 32-bit and 64-bit sfs links are the same...

Please correct. Thanks in advance.

Have fun!

LibreOffice. Works great. Amazing to get such a huge app in such a small build. The database components needs a database, and 'mariadb' is in the PPM. Note. LibreOffice was compiled without Java support.

(from http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... readme.htm)

hey, slavvo.

i haven't had any saving issues with libre, but you very well might be testing it more (though i can attest that saving to root works fine for me in 5.3.3). any thoughts on whether the 64bit LibreOffice Barry made for pyro would work in other pups? would getting it be as easy as running the distro and using gnewpet? not sure if it would be appreciably quicker, but i'm sure it's significantly smaller. i can't find any details but i'm guessing a sub 180mb pet and based on 5.3.2? not sure how many users are affected by the third digit LO bug fixes and improvements, but compiling that sure seems like a more involved process than using micko and theasterisk's work to make a couple of packages. here's a link to the recipes for any interested, curious, industrious, bored, ...: http://barryk.org/news/?viewDetailed=00529.

i'd rather host, download, and/or install 180mb pets than 280mb pets all other things being equal.

Hi Puppus Dogfellow

Just wondering.....

Your LibreOffice-5.4.0_en-US_xz.sfs is 213MB xz compressed....

If I make an sfs from:
https://slackware.pkgs.org/14.2/slackon ... y.txz.html
also xz compressed (512K blocksize)

it's 133MB

Functionality provided appears to be similar/same? e.g. both US language only....

So why the big difference in size?? 80MB of what?

Intrigued...
Cheers

Hi peebee

...empty space?

is there a utility like k-delta or similar that can actually show the differences? the pets and sfses are the size they've been because of the utilities i use to grab the libre deb and make it an sfs (01micko's utility) and then a pet (a utility by the Asterisk!). i remember BarryK made relatively tiny libreoffice packages by compiling them himself (i think he said it took over 12 hours on a relatively fast machine)--are the Slackware people doing the same thing?

Thank you, Puppus. They're in the first page now.

Radky's pArchive can create xz-compressed pets:

Radky wrote:Note:
In pArchive, creating pet packages with xz-compression requires a recent Puppy dir2pet script with xz support (ex: Slacko Puppy 5.7/6.0).
Installing an xz-compressed pet requires a recent Puppy installpkg.sh script with xz support (ex: Slacko Puppy 5.7/6.0 & tahrpup 6.0 CE).
The size of my latest SFS is 157 MB including Spanish langpack but removing the scalable folder of gnome and hicolor icons, packaging without extra languages should make it a bit smaller than that.

perhaps it pays to just wait for slackware to do their thing and grab what they come up with.

on a somewhat related note--i noticed 01micko's new slackos have libre built in--do you know if they update automatically now? is there a newer version of that script somewhere? do the slack packages work in ubuntu based pups? i'm not running anything slacko at the moment (but have to say, your lxpups all look excellent and i've been meaning to boot one up for quite some time--cool that you include jwm as option...), but it doesn't seem like there'd be many compatibility issues, and it doesn't seem to be an issue of the compression/conversion tool.

does this work no longer need to be done?

cheers,

puppus

i used the same utility to convert an sfs made from the slacko txz as i do for the debs downloaded from libre--result was a significantly larger pet (347 vs 280 mb), so no closer to answering the question. that said, the txzs installed fine in tahr64 605 and in xenial32-704 (i made a pet (libredesktops.pet) of the desktop files that seemed to be lacking after the 32 bit installation, but that may've been a quirk--they were there in the 64 bit installations and perhaps i checked too early--machine is a bit slow on the wm restart/repopulate the menus routine). i'm not sure what pups can't install txzs direclty (all slackos and anything precise and later can?), so i've provided a pet in case of missing menu entries and a link to the XZ-compressed pet extraction & installation for older pups utilities by rerwin i've mirrored:
xz_utils_by_rerwin

pets and sfses were made with radky's parchive (compress the folder into xz pet or sfs) and SFR's UExtract (decompress the txz). haven't tested the sfs but the pets appear fine. size comparisons:
made from packages from https://slackware.pkgs.org:

116, 125 pet and sfs, --mb 32
128, 139 pet and sfs, --mb 64

made from the downloaded debs and the gz sfs to pet conversion tool:
213, 260 --mb 32
227, 280 --mb 64

unless problems arise/are reported, this will be the new way i handle/host/mirror the libreoffice packages. i'm thinking no more pets as it seems like an unnecessary step--are there any pups that can run these packages but not the utility that installs txz's? and where could it be gotten if needed? has it always been a part of puppy? i don't remember not being able to install at least some txz's directly...).

edit: i left the icons out of the possibly unnecessary .desktops pet. here's the corrected version:

libre540.desktops.pet

Posted: **Wed 13 Sep 2017, 08:00**

Libreoffice-5.4.1.sfs (203M)
Libreoffice-5.3.6.sfs (201M)
I add additional font:
TTF: Roboto, Roboto Condensed, and Roboto Mono
Opentype: CMU and Nimbus

I also make default font for formula to be CMU, So we can write as good as latex.

sorry for the large size, but converting the packages from https://slackware.pkgs.org/14.2/slackon ... y.txz.html is not yet as routine for me as the older way (with my current set up, i walk back and forth between a couple of machines and everything seems to get done. i'll leave up the small sfses and likely make a few in the future, but i prefer making and using these types of packages for now). sorry for any inconvenience/enjoy.

Edit 180507:
New version 5.4.6 with texmath and latex in archive here:
https://archive.org/download/libreoffic ... _18.05.sfs

Edit 180118:
Better compression of xz file in sfs, make this to be smaller size
Libreoffice-5.3.7.1 (278mb)
or using archive.org here:
https://archive.org/download/libreoffic ... .3.7.1.sfs

fix make same font:
NimbusRomanNo9L as Nimbus Roman
Arial as Nimbus Sans

old version
libreoffice-5.3.7(291M)
or using archive.org here:
https://archive.org/download/libreoffic ... -5.3.7.sfs

I add font:
cmu font(latex font)
nimbus font
roboto
roboto condensed
roboto mono

I also add latex small.. We can make equation using texmath.
I add shortcut Alt+M to make an equation. So if we type:

Code: Select all

x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

then we select that and press Alt+M, the equation be a svg image that is latex formula.

Thanks Puppus for your libreoffice-5.4.0-x86_64-1.sfs on pg 22.
Small package (139mb) works well with Slacko64 6.9.9.9 k 4.4 whilst earlier LO versions don't.
Still prefer the smaller WPSoffice, but nice to have a choice.

Tried the Libreoffice 5.4.2 en 32 bit sfs, and it didn't install the main part of the program.

I assume that was supposed to land in /opt but there was nothing there.

Did a file search on "libreoffice5" and found lots of accessory files installed in various directories like icon pngs but couldn't find the main program directory.

A link I found to libreoffice5.4.2 in /usr/bin was missing its target.

tested in Xenial_704 32 bit. what pup are you using and how is it installed? does the download script itself (it should be in your Document menu) give you an unusable sfs as well?

i just opened the sfs up and everything seems to be where it should and as usual ("soffice" is the command/file in /opt/libreoffice5.4/program/ that /usr/bin/libreoffice5.4 is supposed to link to and that's there, the desktop files seem to be in place...). does 543 work as poorly for you as 542? (also only tested that one in Xenial 704 (where it works fine)).

The new LibreOffice 6.0.0 has improved filters, more formats, more fonts, a new look and a reduced size. Check the first page for a 32bit, xz compressed SFS and langpack PETs, or click here:

mirrored your language packs and 6.0 packages, vic. here are those plus the 6.0 64 bit sfs and pet:

libreoffice-6.0.0-en_US.sfs

libreoffice-6.0.0-en_US.pet

LibreOffice-6.0.0_64_en-US_xz.sfs

LibreOffice-6.0.0_64_en-US_xz.pet

Libre Office 6.0 Language Packs by vicmz

i never made the 32 bit packages for 5.4.4, but here are the two 64 bit for anyone who's interested:

LibreOffice-5.4.4_64_en-US_xz.pet
LibreOffice-5.4.4_64_en-US_xz.sfs

i'll likely be cleaning out most of the old libreoffices in this folder within the next week or two, leaving just the most up to date (and possibly some of the most compressed or specialty) versions.
