Building a Package for Libre Office Online

Has anyone tried to built a package for libre office online for Archlinux yet?

https://github.com/LibreOffice/online

I'm kind of a newbie to all this so maybe someone could help me how to get started. Or where to find a built that is up to date.

There's a LibreOffice Online??

(Sorry for the off-topic.)

How functional / ready for use is it? Does any other distribution have a package for it? ...ok, that question is a bit more on-topic.

I have tried the virtual machine copy which worked pretty well: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/
I think for now there are no distribution packages yet but I'm still keen to install it :-D

Re: Building a Package for Libre Office Online

bdichgans,

atleast 2 packages would be needed (server and client), and a quick peek at the loolwsd (server) readme  makes me feel i lack the skills to make these pacakges.

Below are 2 quotes from that readme to show what i mean.
I do hope someone comes along that understands how to do those things in a PKGBUILD.

Note that the loolforkit program needs the CAP_SYS_CHROOT capability,
thus you will be asked the root password when running make as it
invokes sudo to run /sbin/setcap.

Now you can just do:

    make run

and follow the link that recommends (see loleaflet/README for more info).

I hope someone comes along. But I guess the project is still in Alpha.
