The latest developments on OpenOffice.org and ooo-build led to the creation of a functional QuickStarter for OpenOffice.org that performed better than mine. I didn't have the time to maintain it and now I also don't want to maintain it, since there is a better option. Anyway, feel free to download it and use/improve it in any way you want or like.
pyoooqs stands for Python OpenOffice.org Quickstarter and as the name suggests, it tries to be an OpenOffice.org Quickstarter. It was written for the GNOME Desktop and works as an GNOME Panel Applet. Currently, it doesn't have international support.
Well, it looks like every other GNOME Applet:
Warning: This code is FAR from perfect. To be honest with you, I don't even know how a quickstarter should do the work (only ideally). This code is based on what I've found over the internet. But I didn't like the available options, so I decided to create my own quickstarter.
So, are you still here? You can download it by having a cvs client and typing the following on the command line:
Or you have the option to download the "so-called" releases. Slackware packages can be found at http://trovao.droplinegnome.org/extras/pyoooqs
If you don't want to install it, but want to test it, you can enter the src/ directory, generate a pyoooqs_globals.py file with the following command:
cat << EOF > pyoooqs_globals.py name = "pyoooqs" version = "0.something" image_dir = "../images" glade_dir = "." EOF
And then run it with:
./pyoooqs.py --tray
Using the canonical method:
To run it, just add it to the panel as a normal applet or run it by typing "pyoooqs" on command line.
Just to remember, you are downloading a very unstable code. If you want to contribute with it, don't be shy, you can drop by #dropline on irc.freenode.net and have a chat there. Or you can donate money, gifts, anything. Don't be shy! :D
