They must be added to the package +after all other files have been added. Those other files are the SVR4 packages +of OOo which can be imported by pkg (pkg import). +The files have to be uploaded this way: + +pkgsend -s url_to_pkg_server add file installed mode=644 owner=root group=bin path=${EXTENSIONPATH}/installed restart_fmri=svc:/application/ooo_bundled_extensions:default +pkgsend -s url_to_pkg_server add file svc-ooo_bundled_extensions mode=744 owner=root group=bin path=/lib/svc/method/svc-ooo_bundled_extensions +pkgsend -s url_to_pkg_server add file ooo_bundled_extensions.xml mode=644 owner=root group=bin path=/var/svc/manifest/application/ooo_bundled_extensions.xml restart_fmri=svc:/system/manifest-import:default + + +--- + +${EXTENSIONPATH} must be replaced by the path to the folder containing the +bundled extensions. This path changes with every major release of OOo because of +the version number which is part of a folder name. The +current value is: + +EXTENSIONPATH=/opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install + +The service was tested with OpenSolaris release 2009.6 and may not work with a +previous release. + + +================================================================================ +What do these files do +================================================================================ + +The three files constitute a SMF service. When this service is started, then it +installes the bundled extensions which are contained in +/opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install. To install them, the service calls +"unopkg add --shared ..." with the appropriate arguments. + +The service is started initially after the installation of +ooo_bundled_extensions.xml. At this time, all files of OOo, including the +extensions, have been copied to their destination. The service calls unopkg on +behalf of every extension and adds the path to that extension to the file +'installed'. The file 'installed' is used to remember what extensions have +already been installed with unopkg. This will prevent to reinstall those +extensions whenever the service is restarted. + +When a new version of OOo becomes available, then the respective OOo package +containes a new version of 'installed'. That is, it contains a version string, +such as 3.2.0. The sole reason for that string is, to change the content of this +file in every release. Otherwise IPS would not replace the installed version of +'installed' with the one contained in the package. + +The update procedure of OOo will replace 'installed'. 'installed' is associated +with a restart_fmri of the service ooo_bundled_extensions. That is after +copying 'installed' the service will be restarted. It then installes all +extensions contained in /opt/openoffice.org3/share/extension/install, because +the newly installed 'installed' file does not contain any entries yet, except +for the version string. + + +================================================================================ +Known issues +================================================================================ + +If OOo, which contains this service, is uninstalled and later it is installed +again, then the bundled extensions are not installed. That is, unopkg is not +called to install them with OOo's Extensions Manager. The reasons is a bug in +OpenSolaris: + +http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5742 + +To work around this, one can call after uninstalling OOo + +svccfg delete -f ooo_bundled_extensions +svccfg delete smf/manifest |
