Description David Tardon 2012-10-25 13:00:57 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #824035 +++

libreoffice seems to bundle at least the following libraries:

1) saxon is bundled in libreoffice-core
Jar file location: /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/classes/saxon9.jar

2) hsqldb is bundled in libreoffice-base
Jar file location: /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/classes/hsqldb.jar

yeah, I know, because the two later version of the above cause trouble.

latest 1.8.X series hsqldb doesn't write databases compatible with older versions, IIRC fred said he might being out a point release with a toggle which would allow that, must ping him about that

latest saxon has removed from the free version the features that some older versions had and which our usage of it relies on :-(, plan there was to hopefully try and remove the use of saxon entirely and replace it, that seems to have gotten stalled upstream however

Pinged fred and said he might get around to releasing a hsqldb-1.8.1.4 which I guess would appear at http://sourceforge.net/projects/hsqldb/files/hsqldb/hsqldb_1_8_1/ that would solve 50% of the problem anyway

for saxon, its required for xslt2 support, but there's been a lot of work (IIUC) to move our xslt filters to xslt1 and use the libxslt transformer, which is now the default. So last step would be to split out the saxon-using transformed into an available-from-elsewhere extension if someone really needs it, and not bundle/include it by default. dtardon's got some hack-in-progress there apparently

reassign to dtardon for the saxon bit anyway

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 14:07:38 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 2 Caolan McNamara 2013-10-08 11:04:45 UTC
the upstream master plan is to try and write a new java-free hsqldb import converter to firebird
