LibreOffice-5.0.2_en-US_xz.pet, LibreOffice-5.0.2_en-US_xz.sfs

seems to open significantly faster than the four series or even 5.0.1.

fixed the link, thanks. pet is 223, sfs is 184. you can further compress the sfs if you like--should get it down to under 160. large pet is the fastest libre yet so i see no point in fiddling with it, but i'd host the smaller version if you'd care to make it.

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

Radky's pArchive can create xz-compressed pets:

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.

I downloaded libreoffice502.deb from here https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/
how to install files .deb?
how to convert into sfs?
i want to learn how to make that.
thank you.

recobayu, i used 30.1 from the first link to make the sfs and the sfs to pet pet by The Asterisk! in the second to convert it. 01micko made the sfs-making utility and rerwin and a few others have taken it upon themselves to update it.

----------

a note of potential interest:

i just moved from precise 5.7.2 to quirky 7.2 on this machine. once the latter was up and running and LibreOffice installed, i moved my user folder over from /root/.config/libreoffice/4/ in the old installation to the new one, and even the document recovery feature picked up on the rather scattered list i left for it. (i broke the other distro messing around with terminals and libraries and other things i probably shouldn't have touched.

).

anyway, you can keep your customizations in the move from 32 to 64 bit.

Briefly tested calc, writer and impress from sfs on Fatdog64-701 and they worked well. Thanks.

I've had some serious freezing issues in Libre 5.0.2 using Quirky Unicorn. So bad, in fact, that I need to remove it and revert to an older version. There's something not right about this version. Hopefully an update will come.

Note: I'm using the 32 bit.

Now available LibreOffice 5.0.3 SFS English & Spanish (more languages installing the langpack pets). It was manually created from the packages of libreoffice.org/download. To get a smaller package size (158 MB):

- it was xz-compressed with PackIt 1.9,
- scalable set of gnome and hicolor icons was removed.

Also:

- content of /usr/local was moved to /usr/share,
- .desktop files were edited to remove variable %U not used by Puppy, and to add menu categories used by Puppy.

Puppus Dogfellow · #252 Post by **Puppus Dogfellow** » Sat 07 Nov 2015, 21:16

thing seems to be getting more tolerant of user idiocy. i installed, built, downloaded, etc 5.0.3 while 5.0.2 was still open--no problems. used one, closed it, opened it again, update went off without a hitch. (earlier version would abort the process once the running instance was detected).

anyway, a bounty of 503's:

LibreOffice-5.0.3_en-US_xz.sfs

LibreOffice-5.0.3_en-US_xz.pet

LibreOffice-5.0.3_64_en-US_xz.pet

Has this problem been experienced by anyone else when attempting to install LibreOffice to one of the latest distros?

Wrong link I think....link deleted

Problem reported by GCM is that the pet has been renamed without rebuilding the pet - the new PPM rejects such "malformed" pets (there may be a config option to switch this off).

@GCM - rename the pet back to the internal name....

slavvo67 · #255 Post by **slavvo67** » Wed 02 Dec 2015, 20:19

I think this is specific to PPM2. I unpackage, rename to what PPM expects (the proper name inside the .peg), and repackage to get around it.

To clarify further, it shouldn't be specific to Libre. PPM2 was designed this way by Mav.

what distro is having a problem with the libre packages? they install fine in ppm2 from what i've seen (unicorn pup and added as a pet to various flavors of precise from 5.5. to 572). if the issue (which is unstated and directs you to a removed post for further clarification, but i'll hazard a guess based on the earlier references to package size) is that after using parchive or packit (etc) to recompress the pet (or iso or sfs) to a smaller size things aren't working, it may be because the recompressed directory often has .extracted.xx or something similar added to its name. not renaming things back correctly could mess things up--is this the issue? you could check out 01micko's and rerwin's script to see if there's an error when it's made into an sfs--those also always work for me with no problem though. the next step is the to-pet conversion. here's the script by TheAsterisk! that i use to convert the sfs packages to pet:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# Last edited 2012.10.01 by Michael Parker/TheAsterisk!
sfs="$@"
ext=${sfs##*.}
rootname=`basename "$sfs" ".$ext"`
unsquashfs "$@"
mv squashfs-root "$rootname"
dir2tgz "$rootname"
tgz2pet "$rootname".tar.gz
# May choose to use the following two lines in place of the previous two lines
# Comment and uncomment lines accordingly
#dir2pet "$rootname"
#rm nohup.out
rm -rf "$rootname"

anybody want to rewrite it to use xz compression and fix the naming issue which may or may not exist? i'll make the next set using it to test. if it works, that'll be my new go-to sfs-to-pet converter.

the emboldened is why i think it's a conversion of the package issue--the pet was made only once on my side--it never had any other name to rename. i'm pretty sure TheAsterisk's script is making the correct petspec files and the like, or at least is calling on other pup scripts that do.

slavvo67 · #257 Post by **slavvo67** » Sat 05 Dec 2015, 02:49

Sorry, Puppus. This issue sounded familiar to problems I was having with certain pet packages. It's been probably 6 months or a year, now. If the outer pet is named different from the inner file, PPM2 rejects it.

Sometimes, the auto-download programs package as, let's say "Firefox.pet" while the file inside is firefox.32.0.432 (or whatever).

Anyway, it's an old issue that has, more or less fixed itself over time. Every once in a while, a package will not install for this. I, personally, haven't had any issues with Libre or the packaging (except for the previous 5.?? version I posted a month or so, ago).

Best,

Slavvo67

nothing to be sorry about, slavvo. i've seen that issue with some pets i've come across (maybe three or four), but none of them were LibreOffice pets, which led me to a different guess than the one you made, and to be fair, we still don't know who was closer to naming the issue, assuming the issue in fact exists, which actually doesn't appear to be the case, at least not past issue issue status. anyway, does this mean you haven't yet hacked TheAsterisk!s script to force xz compression? pets decompress on installation just the same, but i guess it'd make it easier on uploading and downloading. not sure how many pups would get locked out because they can't use xz pets though. any idea if this is a legitimate concern? i can recall it being a mentioned as a problem in a thread or two, but those might have been too old to judge by. has this been universally fixed by a pet or patch or something? is it even still an issue?
