requiredSystemFeatures is not a meta attribute but a derivation
attribute. So "big-parallel" was being ignored on e.g. chromium,
causing it to be built (and timing out) on slow machines.

fixes#13651
@edolstra:
“IIRC, the "KDE integration" consists mainly in providing a Qt/KDE "File
open" dialog, which we can probably live without. In fact, it has been
known to malfunction if Libreoffice's KDE version is different from the
system KDE version.
So disabling this sounds like a good idea.”
Icons no longer missing (fix#5509).
In `*.desktop` files:
- Replaced absolute path to the the store by the program name.
This is so that files can be dragged elsewhere by the user
(e.g.: desktop, bar) and still work after upgrade + garbage
collection and can be shared between machines.
- Replace program name `soffice` by program name `libreoffice`
so that we're sure the desktop file really refers to our
package's binary and not start office or open office.
Add the possibility of building without the help. This build is
not modular and take a really long time to complete so I want
a mean of improving shortcuts without having to rebuild the
whole thing (see #899). A wrapper script is the next step.
Tested (build and ran the program) with `en_US` only and
without the help module.
Started on staging and just hidden by #7524, most likely.
Now it builds and runs for me. Only the "development build" tag is strange.
/cc #8844, maintainers @viric, @7c6f434c.
Before we do substitutions, the Exec= line is (currently)
"Exec=libreofficedev4.3 --some-arg". Our substitution logic doesn't handle
that, resulting in broken "Exec=$out/bin/sofficedev4.3 --some-arg"
($out/bin/sofficedev4.3 doesn't exist).
Looking at libreoffice source, the .desktop files refer to a UNIXBASISROOTNAME
variable which come from instsetoo_native/util/openoffice.lst.in. Currently, it
can have one of two values, presumably depending on whether the build is
"normal" or "development":
libreoffice${major}.${minor}
libreofficedev${major}.${minor}
Handle both these cases, and also leave the old non-versioned substitution
around, just in case.
Fixes issue #3463.
(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
Also update its dependencies.
Update libcdr to 0.1.0
Update libmwaw to 0.3.2 from 0.3.1
Update libvisio to 0.1.0
Update libwpd to 0.10.0
Update libwpg to 0.3.0
These updates are require by LO update and also require each other.
Note that many of these libraries now require librevenge.
In LibreOffice expression per se:
- Note that liborcus is built separately because it wants Boost to be
specified in a way that main LO build doesn't ensure.
- libixion from 0.7.0 tarball has libixion-0.8 package version.
- libgltf is in src/libgltf but listed in download.lst without any
comments.
- Make variable with the name libreoffice-translations-${version}.tar.xz
and the same value is inserted; the same for -help-. Fetching gives
a strange error without that. Apparently everyone just builds git
checkouts.
- There are some conditionals in download.lst that require manual
handling. I am not sure there is a simple way to process them in
generate-libreoffice-srcs.sh.
The test in question tries to fit a table into one page; I cannot find
what dependency update is needed to fix it and there are a few
depedendencies better updated on x-updates.
