Let's see what other people think about this.

I find it annoying that the libreoffice config dir is in ~/.config/.libreoffice. I think this is because $SYSUSERCONFIG in /etc/libreoffice/bootstraprc generally points to $HOME but for us it's $HOME/.config. (Is $SYSUSERCONFIG some alias for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME?)

Is there any will to have the default changed to?:

UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/3
This task depends upon

We don't change it. It's an upstream setting. Ask there.

I did discuss it upstream. The thing is $SYSUSERCONFIG seems to be different for Arch then every other distribution the LO people were aware of. So something has already been changed.

[root@laptop64 andyrtr]# grep -iR SYSUSERCONFIG /etc/*
/etc/libreoffice/bootstraprc:UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.libreoffice/3

You can check our PKGBUILD that we only install the upstream file. You can change it there if you want and it's under backup control.

Yeah I get that. I'm just wondering why $SYSUSERCONFIG is resolving differently.

[andyrtr@laptop64 ~]$ grep UserInstallation /etc/libreoffice/bootstraprc
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/3

So this is fixed in LibO 3.5.0 :)
