[Open Office] Keep 2.0 prefix for OOo-2.1?

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

the upstream changed the install prefix for OOo-2.1:

	/opt/openoffice.org2.0 -> /opt/openoffice.org2.1

It has already used the minor-version-independent prefix for the user 
configuration:

	~/.openoffice.org2


We could do something similar in ooo-build:

	/usr/lib/ooo-2.0 -> /usr/lib/ooo2
	/usr/share/ooo-2.0 -> /usr/share/ooo2
	/usr/include/ooo-2.0 -> /usr/include/ooo2
	/usr/lib/pkgconfig/mono-ooo-2.0.pc -> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/mono-ooo2.pc
	~/.ooo-2.0 -> ~/.ooo2


Though, I vote to keep the 2.0 paths because:

1. If we switch to ~/.ooo2, users would "lost" their older setting.
2. If we keep ~/.ooo-2.0 and change only other prefixes, it would be 
inconsistent.
3. We could add a symlink ~/.ooo2 -> ~/.ooo-2.0 from the program/soffice 
wrapper but I do not like this hack.
4. The prefix change would be used to create FHS-compatible package (config 
files below /etc, arch independent files below /usr/share, ...). This change 
is not easy and I do not have time to work on it now. Note that it must be 
done together with the prefix change because RPM does not allow to replace a 
directory with a compat symlink.
5. The wrappers ooffice, oowriter... are already version-independent. The 
other paths are hidden to the normal users, so they are less important.


What do you think?

Does anybody complain if we keep the 2.0 paths as they are?
