--- Comment #20 from Frank Fuchs <[email protected]> --- Stuart: I beg to differ as a really long time StarOffice/OOo/LO user - and MAC user since 3 years: The problem is even worse than barefootguru described: Because the language packs are not signed, you have open the language pack (the one within the .dmg) with a "right click" and then acknowledge installing from an unsigned installation package - something Apple warns you not to do. If you look at all these steps needed, I'm fairly sure a "normal" (i.e. non-IT) user will have major difficulties and likely fail w/o IT support. My 2 cents: I think the LO team needs to accept that support for a specific platform like OSX requires a "minimum" of platform specific support - and this starts with a user-friendly and secure way to install the application in line with the operating system's guidelines. And: If I look at the Windows version of LO, it certainly uses a lot of Windows-specific installation magic (e.g. the registry) to ensure proper installation. My recommendation: If the LO team is unsure about the best "long-term" solution, a "quick fix" needs to be provided, soon. I believe an easy one is to provide exactly one single *signed* package (including all the language files). While this requires somewhat more space on your permanent storage device, I'm firmly convinced that this is the lesser evil (esp. taking into account current storage medium prices). That'll give everyone enough time to work on a more intelligent installation process (maybe like the one on Windows where you select what parts of LO and which languages you want to install). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
