Caolan, what's the problem with "%configure --with-system-libsvg"? Okay, we maybe need to BuildRequire libsvg2 or whatever it is. Without any explanation this is NEVER closed upstream. Simon, please re-open the bug report again. "what's the problem with "%configure --with-system-libsvg" there isn't any such option in vanilla This was my mistake. I thought this is the solution, BUT I didn't realize that the parameter --with-system-libsvg is not for the SUN openoffice, but it is for the Novell openoffice called goo. To my surprise in other distros packages it is called openoffice.org-*, too. Sven Lankes told me that, to so the problem is, that sun's ooo is not able to handle svg. and i don't know if the problem will be solved in next versions. perhaps one of this three solutions would solve this problem. 1.) generate a openclipart-png package 2.) enable svg support with an openoffice extension like this: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/SVGTiny2OO 3.) switch to go-oo (Novels ooo fork) Novell OpenOffice.org fork? Hopefully they maintain and drive more QA to that office fork than to their SLE products...otherwise I'm not amused about go-oo. I had a talk with an ooo dev at the ooo booth on Chemnitzer Linux Days Caolan, would you please pack this http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/svgimport and activate it by default? (if possible, sorry but i don't know it, i'm just a packager in training!) This would solve this problem and would be very cool :-) Let's have another look at this, I'm not delighted by the extension as we'd have to build it from source and its got a fairly big java dependency chain. Maybe its worth selectively importing in the ooo-build svg importer Lets try that first, will be in >= 3.1.0-6.2.f11 Created attachment 337642 [details]
ooo + svg
the svg's are broken after import, please take a look at the attachment 337642 [details]
$ rpm -q openoffice.org-writer
openoffice.org-writer-3.1.0-8.1.fc11.x86_64
That's then "doesn't import some svg's correctly" as opposed to "cannot import svgs", hopefully an improvement of sorts Lets make a new bug, rhbz#498590 for the specific .svg rendering problem. And leave this one as the global "enable a svg filter" issue which is done, even if not a fool-proof filter |
