What does the metainfo for the KDE integration plugin have to do with templates?
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Thursday, 07 February 2019, 13:15 GMT
ls -R /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/template/

Do you miss something else?

Well, this debian package contains all files for KDE integration that libreoffice offers: https://packages.debian.org/en/buster/amd64/libreoffice-kde5/filelist

What we’re missing is /usr/share/templates/{soffice.od{gpst}.desktop,.source/soffice.od{gpst}} for Dolphin’s “Create new …” menu.

With “or don’t install the former” I meant that we could extract the KDE integration to a new package, but I think that’s too fine-grained and too hard to discover – things just working is valuable!

Please check commits here related to these files:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/extras/source/shellnew

I read it that these files are only required to be used at Windows systems. They are also not listed at any file-lists directory file for packaging that is created at build time. So I guess they are not meant to be installed to Linux systems at all.
If they are indeed useful this should be fixed at upstream level. You can try to install the files from extras/source/shellnew/soffice.* to some useful place where Dolphin they might expect.

You’re right. They probably didn’t think about other systems using those files at the time, but they are of course perfectly suited for that.

I think the Debian maintainers simply found that they could write very basic .desktop files that allow Dolphin to use those files.

Do you think upstream would need to add the .desktop files before you consider distributing them and the soffice.od* files?

Yes. Please check for any related upstream feautre request or open a new one.

Please try 6.3.3-2 in testing repo with template files added.
