Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:7.0.2-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

thank you for providing unoconv as a seperate package. Currently it
recommends libreoffice-writer, libreoffice-calc etc.

Since unoconf is, when installed separatly, probably mostly used in a
non-interactive way.. woudn't it make sense to recommend
libreoffice-writer-nogui, libreoffice-calc-nogui etc. instead?

Regards,
Daniel

reassign 971891 unoconv
severity 971891 wishlist
retitle 971891 please recommend -nogui variants of libreoffice packages as alternative
thanks

Yes, indeed. Better as (first) alternative though so using the "GUI version" still will work.

But why are you filing this against libre office and not unoconv? It's unoconv doing the stuff, not libreoffice?

Regards

sorry; I generally fill bugs against the name of their source package
(out of lazyness I guess).

And this also would have been wrong, unoconv is not built out of src:libreoffice but a different source (and is even a different project on a different place anyway).

oh, crap.. my memory was totally convinced it's src:libreoffice, sorry
about that. I'll check next time.
