Ah, I think you're right. I read recently that they are working on |
| 9 |
eliminating the reliance on Java (converting the wizards to Python, |
| 10 |
IIRC) but it's not there yet. |

These are my active USE flags for libreoffice: |

USE="cups dbus gtk java kde ldap nsplugin opengl templates" |

Mine shows those two, plus all the Sun ones. Very strange! |

The wizard is sort of a template-chooser-builder in the first step or |
| 44 |
two, you give it your specifications (do you want a logo? etc) and |
| 45 |
then it builds the blank template. You can skip the pages where it |
| 46 |
pre-fills in data with your name and address etc. I've not used it |
| 47 |
enough to say if it's good or bad. I suppose once you've created the |
| 48 |
layout that you like from the wizard, you could save it as a normal |
| 49 |
template. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
It doesn't look like the ebuild does anything other than enable the |
| 52 |
--with-sun-templates configure option, so any strange behavior beyond |
| 53 |
that is in the LO build system itself, I guess. But if the "templates" |
| 54 |
USE flag is dependent on some other condition, perhaps the ebuild |
| 55 |
should test for that to prevent this kind of thing. |
