[Libreoffice] LO: Linux distro specific packages vs. universal build

Hi,

I think about what package names and paths use for the openSUSE
LibreOffice packages. I wonder how they should conflict with the
universal Linux Libre Office build and what they should share with it.

I think that there are three main things:

1. installation root path:

        + /opt/libreoffice3 - used by the universal linux build by
                              default
        + /usr/lib(64)/libreoffice - proposed path for distro-specific
                              build


2. user configuration:

        + ~/.libreoffice/3 - used by the universal linux build
        + ~/.libreoffice/3-<distro> - proposed alternative 
                   distro-specific path, e.g. ~/.libreoffice/3-suse

        I tried to use the same directory but the other build did not
        start because incompatible berkley DB, see the attached
        screenshot
        
3. package names:

        + libreoffice-ure, libreoffice3*, libobasis3.3* - used by the
          universal Linux build
        + libreoffice* - preferred distro-specific package name

        The universal and distro-specific packages can be installed in
        parallel because they use different paths. The only problem is
        the same name for the libreoffice-ure package. I suggest to
        rename it to libreoffice3-ure in the universal linux build.

What do you think?


Best Regards,
Petr
