Bundling LibreOffice

This is the script I use to bundle LibreOffice (and OpenOffice).

VERSION=$(wget http://www.openoffice.org/download/globalvars.js -O - | grep -e "DL.VERSION" | head -n 1 | cut -d '"' -f 2)
./doit.sh http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/openofficeorg.mirror/${VERSION}/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_${VERSION}_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

VERSION=$(wget "http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/" -O - | grep -o -e "/dl/src/.*/all/" | cut -d "/" -f 4 | head -n 1)
./doit.sh http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/${VERSION}/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_${VERSION}_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz

#!/bin/bash -x

set +e

OOODOWNLOADLINK="$1"

if [ "x$OOODOWNLOADLINK" ==  "x" ] ; then
  echo "Usage: $0 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/openofficeorg.mirror/4.1.0/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz"
  exit 1
fi

# if [ -e ./ooo ] ; then
  # echo "./ooo exists; exiting"
  # exit 1
# fi

mkdir -p ./ooo/ooo.AppDir
cd ./ooo

wget --timestamping -c "$OOODOWNLOADLINK"

tar xfvz *.tar.gz
# rm *.tar.gz

cd ooo.AppDir/

find ../ -name *.deb -exec dpkg -x \{\} . \;

find . -name startcenter.desktop -exec cp \{\} . \;

BINARY=$(cat *.desktop | grep "Exec=" | head -n 1 | cut -d "=" -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1)

# sed -i -e 's|/opt|../opt|g' ./usr/bin/$BINARY
cd usr/bin/
rm ./$BINARY
find ../../opt -name soffice -path *program* -exec ln -s \{\} ./$BINARY \;
cd ../../

wget -c "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/portable/64bit/AppRun"
# or (32-bit)

# --comp xz to get a smaller but somewhat slower-launching AppImage
./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage -n ./ooo.AppDir/

Daily builds

To bundle daily LibreOffice builds (this also sets a private settings directory for each build):

#!/bin/bash -x

# into usr/share/appdata/ that describes LibreOffice as a whole
# (e.g., usr/share/appdata/libreofficedev5.4-startcenter.appdata.xml)
# as AppImages need one clear entry point rather than multiple ones
# Thanks!

# For testing purposes, use different versions of LibreOffice
# for testing of any bugs, thus edit the file bootstraprc
# to generate a clean user folder for each daily version, e.g.,
# UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreofficedev/5.4.0.0.alpha0.05.59.04
